Al-Farouq Aminu, SF/PF, Portland Trail Blazers

DraftKings Price: $4,000

Looking for another plug-and-play option, especially for your cash lineups? Look no further than Portland Trail Blazers power forward Al-Farouq Aminu.

The nine-year veteran is putting up nearly identical numbers for the third year in a row, averaging 9.5 points, 7.7 boards, 1.4 assists, and 0.9 steals. Often praised for his defense, Aminu has become a more reliable offensive player this season, shooting 44.5% from the field, 5.0 percentage points higher than last season and his best clip since the 2013-14 campaign.

Aminu has scored more than 20.0 DraftKings points in eight straight games and in 21 of 26 games since the calendar flipped to 2019, putting up an average of 24.8 DraftKings points in that stretch. He may not wow you often with big games, but his floor is as solid as anybody in the league when taking salary into account.

We project him to put up 23.0 DraftKings points tonight, which would equate to a value of nearly 5.8 DraftKings points per $1,000.
