Darren Collison, PG, Indiana Pacers

DraftKings Salary: $5,300

The most notable injury situation of the day is the state of the Indiana Pacers, who are sitting Victor Oladipo, Thaddeus Young, and Bojan Bogdanovic. This will leave Darren Collison, Lance Stephenson, Domantas Sabonis, Myles Turner, and one of Cory Joseph or Glenn Robinson III as the likely starting five in a home matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. And, to make it even better, the Hornets have been resting their veterans down the stretch as well.

The sample size with all three of the resting players today is fairly small, so we're going to look at how Indiana has fared with just Oladipo and Thad Young off the court. In that time, Collison's usage rate is up from 18.5% to 22.5%, while his DraftKings points per minute have risen from 0.92 to 1.00.

Collison has been a bit limited recently, but with a boost in usage and minutes, he is worth a look in tournaments. He needs just 26.5 DraftKings points at this price tag, which he could easily eclipse with an expanded role. Most will gravitate towards Stephenson with Oladipo out, but don't forget about Collison.
