Collin Sexton, PG, Cleveland Cavaliers

DraftKings Price: $5,400

If you're feeling like being a little risky tonight, consider using Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Collin Sexton. Sexton hurt his hip during Monday's loss to the Detroit Pistons, but he played through the injury, so he's likely to play this evening. Keep in mind the possibility that he doesn't play, however, as the Cavs and Los Angeles Lakers tip off an hour after lock.

Sexton's recent play certainly hasn't been risky from a fantasy standpoint. He's scored at least 20 DraftKings points in all of his five starts and at least 28.25 in each of his past four. He's averaging 18.5 points per game in the starting lineup, 6.0 more than George Hill, who's been missing time with a shoulder injury.

The Lakers aren't the worst team against opposing point guards this season, but they're giving up just under 47.0 DraftKings points per game to the position, 11th-worst in the league, according to FantasyPros.

We have Sexton projected for 23.7 DraftKings points in a conservative 26.9 minutes. If he proves the hip injury was nothing major, he could easily get back to the 33 or 34 minutes he had played in his previous three starts. If he does that, then he could blow our projection away and return big value.
