Paul Millsap, PF/C, Denver Nuggets

DraftKings Price: $5,200

Denver Nuggets power forward Paul Millsap carries no injury designation heading into tonight's game against the Sacramento Kings. He wasn't in the starting lineup in either of his first two games back, but he has proven that he doesn't need to start to produce value in DFS.

Millsap put up 34.25 DraftKings points in just 22 minutes in a win against the New York Knicks on Tuesday night, and we should see his minutes increase once again this evening (we project him to see nearly 27 minutes of run).

The Kings are giving up the third-most DraftKings points to opposing power forwards this season, according to FantasyPros. The Kings-Nuggets game is expected to be the highest-scoring game on the slate with a total set at 227.5 points, which means opportunity should abound for Millsap. We have him currently projected for 25.8 DraftKings points, which equates to a value of just under 5.0 points per $1,000.
