De'Anthony Melton, PG/SG, Phoenix Suns
DraftKings Price: $4,200
Holmes isn't the only Sun who benefits from Booker's and Warren's absences. If you're looking for another player who could blow past his value if given an opportunity, look no further than De'Anthony Melton.
Melton got a career-high 23 minutes against the Sacramento Kings on Monday. He put those minutes to good use, scoring 21 points and dishing out 5 assists for a solid 34 DraftKings points.
While projecting a seldom-used player to repeat those minutes would be rather irresponsible, Bob Young of the Athletic Arizona alludes to a possible starting nod for Melton. If that were to happen, the minutes should rain down upon him.
We have the rookie projected for 0.8 DraftKings points per minute. Beyond that, the rest is in the hands of head coach Igor Kokoskov.
