Harrison Barnes, SF/PF, Dallas Mavericks

DraftKings Price: $5,100

Dallas forward Harrison Barnes is shooting just 43.4% on two-point field goals this year, his worst mark since the 2013-14 season. Thanks to a transformation in his game, however, his scoring hasn't dropped off much, and his per-36 scoring rate is the best mark of his career.

Always a solid three-point shooter, Barnes has decided to let loose from deep this year. He is taking 7.1 shots from beyond the arc this season, 2.5 more than he has averaged in any previous year. His 42.0% three-point percentage is not only the highest of his career, it also ranks 21st in the league this season among qualified players.

Barnes will take his remodeled game into a matchup with the Lakers, a team against whom he's scored at least 26.0 DraftKings points in six straight games, topping 30.0 in four of those.

We project Barnes to finish with 29.0 DraftKings points tonight, which would equate to a value of nearly 5.7 DraftKings points per $1,000.
