Jimmy Butler, SG/SF, Philadelphia 76ers

DraftKings Price: $7,100

Philadelphia 76ers new acquisition Jimmy Butler is in an entirely different situation with his new team. Instead of being the go-to option on offense, he's been relegated to arguably the second or third option on the team, behind Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons.

That doesn't mean he can't put together big games still. He put up 28 points, 7 assists, and 45.75 DraftKings points in just his second game with his new teammates. He has a chance to best that output tonight as the Sixers host the New Orleans Pelicans in a game with a total set at 237.0 points, easily the highest on the slate.

Butler has topped 40 DraftKings points in five of his past seven games against the Pelicans. At $7,100, he only needs to get to 35.5 DraftKings points to hit 5.0 points per $1,000.

We have him projected for 48.3 DraftKings points tonight. And given his relatively low salary, that makes him our second-highest projected value play of the slate.
