Marquese Chriss, PF/C, Phoenix Suns

DraftKings Salary: $3,800

The only player with a comparable value to Burke, per our projections, is Marquese Chriss, who also was recently inserted into the starting lineup. Like Burke, his price hasn't yet caught up with his playing time or production, making him an excellent punt play in tournaments.

Chriss needs just 19 DraftKings points at this price tag, and he's reached that mark in each of his past four games. Since moving back into the starting lineup in the place of Alex Len, Chriss has averaged 29.5 minutes, which is more than enough for a player who has a DraftKings-points-per-minute rate of 0.90 this season.

There's a chance that the Phoenix Suns put Len back into the starting lineup to contend with a Boston team that starts Aron Baynes at the five and Al Horford at the four. If that happens, it would make Chriss more of a dicey play. However, if we don't hear that news prior to lock, the most likely scenario is that Chriss is starting again, and that would make him one of the more appealing tournament plays on the board.
