Damyean Dotson, SG/SF, New York Knicks

DraftKings Price: $4,400

On the other side of the court from Augustin and the Magic, second-year player Damyean Dotson will try to continue his recent success.

Dotson's field-goal percentage has been rather atrocious recently (except for his last game in which he went 9-for-17), but the Knicks' persistence in throwing their young stars to the fire has helped him to score at least 13 points in four straight games, 20-plus in his past two.

Dotson has scored 24.0 DraftKings points or more in each of those four games as e's added a smattering of boards and dimes to accompany those points, though calling it stat-stuffing would be a bit much. He's been rather nonexistent in his first two meetings with the Magic this season, but he saw an average of just 17.1 minutes in those games.

He'll likely be in the starting five tonight, however, and our models project him to see 34.9 minutes of run. While he isn't likely to show much efficiency again, the playing time should help him return a solid value nonetheless. We project him to score 26.9 DraftKings points and return the highest value on the slate.
