Bradley Beal, SG, Washington Wizards

DraftKings Price: $9,100

While the Bucks-Nets game will be fun to watch, the highest total of the night (233.0) can be seen in another East Coast game when the Washington Wizards host the Atlanta Hawks at Capital One Arena. Last year's eight seed in the Eastern Conference, the Wizards have been beset by injuries in the 2018-19 season and enter tonight's contest at a woeful 22-30.

Of course, this is the East, where losing records are often enough to get you in the playoffs, and Washington--amazingly--stands just 2.5 games back of the Miami Heat to grab the eight seed again. Leading the way for the Wizards has been shooting guard Bradley Beal, who has dominated the Hawks in three previous meetings this season.

Beal has scored a minimum of 42.0 DraftKings points in all three contests against Atlanta, topping 50.0 twice. His $9,100 salary is fairly pricey for a guy averaging 43.1 DraftKings points this season, and he's hit 50.0 DraftKings points just once in his past eight games, so you might want to reserve him for tournaments this evening. The upside in this matchup, however, is undeniable, and he deserves strong consideration.
