Bryn Forbes, PG/SG, San Antonio Spurs

DraftKings Price: $4,400

One of the most consistent players over the past couple of weeks has been Davis Bertans' teammate, Bryn Forbes. The third-year player out of Michigan State has scored in double figures in seven straight games, putting up at least 20.25 DraftKings points in each.

He rarely goes off for a huge game -- he has just one game with 30 or more DraftKings points in that seven-game span -- but what he lacks in explosiveness, he makes up in floor. The lack of big games has also kept his salary at a very reasonable $4,400.

On a three-game slate, it's hard to find top-notch value plays, let alone ones who are reliable in 50/50s. Forbes is one such a player. He's putting up career-best clips of 12.2 points, 2.5 boards, 2.4 assists, and 2.1 triples per game this season, and he'll look to continue his solid play when the Spurs take on the Toronto Raptors today at the AT&T Center.

We project Forbes to finish with 23.6 DraftKings points tonight. While that might not sound like a lot, it's enough to equal a value of nearly 5.4 DraftKings points per $1,000, our 10th-highest projected value of the slate.
