Paul George, SF/PF, Oklahoma City Thunder

DraftKings Price: $10,400

You can use Paul George any day he's playing, of course, but he becomes a near must play when the Oklahoma City Thunder are without Russell Westbrook. Westbrook has been dealing with an ankle issue, but he'll miss tonight's game for personal reasons, according to ESPN's Royce Young.

No matter the reason for Westbrook's absence, it's George who benefits on the court. George's usage rate jumps from 26.6% to 30.8% without Westbrook, and his DraftKings output increases from 45.1 to 49.7 points.

He's scored at least 49.75 DraftKings points in six of his past seven games, including a 61.25 effort in his last outing against the Phoenix Suns. He has another fantasy-friendly matchup tonight in what should be a fast-paced game against the Sacramento Kings.

We project him for an upside of 60.2 DraftKings points tonight, which equates to a potential value of 5.8 points per $1,000.
