Mikal Bridges, SG/SF, Phoenix Suns

DraftKings Price: $4,100

Let's go for the trio now, shall we? The sixth-youngest team in the NBA has a plethora of young players, and the injuries to Booker and Warren are giving Phoenix an opportunity to hand those youngsters playing time to see what they can do.

Holmes and Melton are two such players. A third is Mikal Bridges. Bridges has started 10 games this season, but the Suns' past two games represent the first time Bridges has seen playing time of 30-plus minutes in back-to-back games. He's done well with those minutes, scoring at least 24 DraftKings points in both games.

Our models think he'll keep things going. We project him to score 23.4 DraftKings points in roughly 32.8 minutes. That type of output would represent a value of 5.7 DraftKings points per $1,000, the third-highest projected value on the slate.
