Nikola Mirotic, PF/C, New Orleans Pelicans

DraftKings Price: $5,500

If you used Nikola Mirotic in your lineups the other night, you likely were not very happy. After seeing 22 and 27 in his first two games back from injury, the New Orleans Pelicans forward scored zero points in just 17 foul-plagued minutes.

With another couple of days to rest, he should hopefully see a boost in minutes again. If he does, he has a perfect matchup for his skillset. The Pelicans take on the Golden State Warriors tonight, a team who has seen the best of Mirotic the past three times they've faced him.

Mirotic has put up at least 24 points and 6 boards in his last three contests against Golden State, scoring a minimum of 44.5 DraftKings points in each of those games. We "only" project him for 30.4 DraftKings points tonight, but that type of output would be enough to give him a value of just over 5.5 DraftKings points per $1,000, our third-highest projected value of the slate.
