Torrey Craig, SG/SF, Denver Nuggets

DraftKings Price: $3,800

Denver Nuggets small forward Will Barton will undergo surgery and miss five-to-six weeks. The biggest beneficiary of his absence is Torrey Craig, who started in the Nuggets' win over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday and should continue to start here on out.

Craig saw 27 minutes of run in that game. He saw more than 25 minutes of court time five times last year. In those games, he averaged 9.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.0 assists. He put up five, nine and two, respectively, in the win over the Warriors, finishing with 23.75 DraftKings points.

There isn't always clear value to target on short slates (tonight's slate has just three games), but Craig is a starter who should see plenty of minutes in a matchup against the Sacramento Kings that has a total set at a whopping 227.5 points.

We only have him projected for 14.7 DraftKings points tonight, so he might not be a player you want to target in cash games. He does, however, offer tournament upside, especially in this fast-paced matchup.
