DraftKings Price: $3,900

After three games without Derrick Jones Jr., it seems pretty clear that Miami Heat forward/center Kelly Olynyk is finally going to be in line for consistent playing time. Olynyk's minutes were sporadic in January; he saw fewer than 15 minutes six times, which doesn't even include two DNP-CDs.

With Johnson out of the mix, however, Olynyk has seen 23, 31, and 34 minutes in his past three games, respectively, and he's taken advantage. He's grabbed at least seven boards in each of those games and scored in double figures in his last two, which has resulted in DraftKings output of 35.25 and 32.75 points.

Tonight he'll take on a Portland Trail Blazers team against whom he scored 35.75 DraftKings points in his only meeting against them this season. He'd need 19.5 DraftKings points tonight to hit a value of 5.0 points per $1,000. He's scored that many or more in five straight games against Portland, picking up at least nine points and five boards in all of those contests.

Our models project him for 26.6 DraftKings points tonight. The 6.8 DraftKings points per $1,000 makes him our highest projected value play of the entire slate.
