DraftKings Price: $4,700
The Brooklyn Nets are on a roll right now. They've won four straight games, which has helped them push their way past the Detroit Pistons into sixth place in the Eastern Conference. One player who has contributed heavily during this recent streak has been center Jarrett Allen.
Allen has taken a big step forward in his second season, putting up averages of 11.2 points, 8.5 boards, 1.5 assists, and 1.5 blocks in 26.6 minutes per game. On a per-minute basis, Allen has seen his DraftKings output increase from 0.93 to 1.06 points, a 13% increase.
He's scored at least 28.5 DraftKings points in each of the past three games, and his output no doubt would have been higher in the other win had the Nets not gotten out to such a big lead in what ended up being a 39-point win.
He scored 32.0 DraftKings points when the Nets and Oklahoma City Thunder -- tonight's opponent -- met earlier this season, nearly identical to the 31.25 he scored when he last faced them in January of last year. We project him for 26.5 DraftKings points tonight with upside for 47.4.
