Andre Drummond, C, Detroit Pistons

DraftKings Salary: $9,400

With back-to-back wins and the Bucks facing the Warriors, the Detroit Pistons still hang on to a sliver of hope of making the playoffs if they can take care of business tonight in a home matchup against the Washington Wizards. As such, we should see coach Stan Van Gundy push Andre Drummond to play as many minutes as he is capable of. That has been the case in their three most recent outings, as Drummond has averaged 39.3 minutes -- up from his season average of 33.2. That may not seem super significant, but when you are a per-minute monster like Drummond (1.37 DraftKings points per minute), every minute counts.

Drummond will face off with Marcin Gortat and a Wizards squad that had given him problems throughout his career. The script has flipped this season, though, as Drummond has averaged 47.8 DraftKings points against Washington. Even more notably, Drummond has averaged 57.5 DraftKings points in his two most recent meetings with the Wiz.

Drummond has averaged 51.5 DraftKings points in the past five Detroit games that have remained within 15 points, so do not be surprised if he posts another 50-burger. It is one of just three games that is expected to be competitive, as the Pistons are just 1.5-point underdogs. Drummond is a safe target in all formats if you're paying up at center.
