Ante Zizic, C, Cleveland Cavaliers

DraftKings Price: $3,900

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. will not play in tonight's game against the Toronto Raptors. While we don't yet know who will take his place in the starting lineup, one very strong candidate to do so is second-year player Ante Zizic.

After averaging just 6.7 minutes of playing time as a rookie, Zizic has played 17.2 minutes per game in his sophomore season, putting up an average of 7.1 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. Those numbers are, not surprisingly, better when he starts.

Zizic has been in the starting five 16 times this season. In those contests, he is averaging 11.3 points, 8.3 boards, and 24.6 DraftKings points, an implied value of 6.31 points per $1,000 at tonight's salary of $3,900.

He has averaged 0.97 DraftKings points per minute in two contests against the Raptors this season. At that output, he'd need to play just 20.1 or 24.2 minutes in order to hit a value of 5.0 or 6.0 DraftKings points per $1,000, respectively. We project him for 23.9 DraftKings points tonight.
