Tim Hardaway Jr., SG/SF, Dallas Mavericks

DraftKings Price: $4,900

If I for any reason refer to Tim Hardaway Jr. as a member of the New York Knicks, stop me and send for help. The new Dallas Mavericks player saw 26 minutes of run in his first game in a new uniform, a 99-93 win over the Charlotte Hornets.

While he was just 5-of-16 from the field, he was able to finish with a decent -- if underwhelming -- 24.5 DraftKings points, enough to return a value of exactly 5.0 points per $1,000 at his $4,900 salary. His salary stayed flat for tonight's game against, which bodes well for those wanting to use him, as he'll be facing a Milwaukee Bucks, against whom he's scored 30-plus DraftKings points in four straight contests.

Hardaway came off the bench on Wednesday, but he should make a move into the starting five soon. That may or may not come tonight, but he should still get 25 to 30 minutes of run regardless in a game that is expected to be fairly quick-paced. We project Hardaway to score 30.7 DraftKings points tonight and return the highest value of the entire slate.
