Allonzo Trier, PG, New York Knicks
DraftKings Price: $4,200
This year's New York Knicks team has proven to be anything but predictable. Starters have become bench players. Up is down. Left is right. Rookies who were supposed to do little are getting huge minutes.
One such surprise has been the play of former Arizona star Allonzo Trier. The undrafted rookie scored 15 points in the Knicks' season opener against the Atlanta Hawks and hasn't slowed down since. In fact, his playing time is on the rise.
He's played more than 30 minutes in three of his past five game and producing consistently. He'd need 21 DraftKings points tonight to return a value of 5 points per $1,000. He's hit that point total in seven of his past nine games, yet he is $300 cheaper tonight than the $4,500 salary he's had in his past three.
We project Trier to finish with 24.8 DraftKings points tonight, which would return one of the highest projected values on the slate.
