Landry Shamet, PG/SG, Philadelphia 76ers

Price: $3,200

If you're looking to get cheaper with your value plays, Landry Shamet is available for only $200 more than the minimum.

Shamet's four-game pro career has made Justin Holiday look like Anthony Davis, as far as efficiency is concerned -- averaging only 0.51 DraftKings points per minute. That low level of efficiency is not likely to hold up over a big sample though, as only 6 players who saw at least 500 minutes last year averaged 0.51 or fewer.

Shamet has also seen some encouraging playing time, averaging 21.8 minutes per game, including 24.5 in a start in his last outing.

That start came with Ben Simmons sidelined, and with Simmons having yet to return to practice, we could easily see Shamet get another start tonight.

Simmons is officially questionable, so keep an eye on his status as we get closer to lock, but if Shamet starts then he offers plenty of value as a dirt-cheap punt play tonight.
