Fred VanVleet, PG/SG, Toronto Raptors

DraftKings Price: $4,600

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet has been about as consistent as you could expect for a player priced under $5,000 on DraftKings. He's scored at least 11 points per game (and no more than 14) and dished out between 5 and 7 dimes in each of his 3 contests this year.

His minutes have been consistent as well, hovering in the 25-28 minute range. It should, thus, come as no surprise that his fantasy scoring has been steady as a rock. He's scored between 24 and 29 DraftKings points per game, a solid return for a player whose salary is perpetually in the $4,000 to $5,000 range, as it is again tonight.

Tonight, he and Kyle Lowry will be tasked with somehow trying to slow down Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Hornets in a game that should be fast paced; the 225.5 total is just three points away from tops on the slate. VanVleet averaged 1.05 DraftKings points per minute in his four meetings against Charlotte last year.

We have him pegged for 23.3 DraftKings points tonight, a number that equates to a value of nearly 5.1 points per minute. If you're looking for a player in his price range, he's as good as it gets.
