Sterling Brown, SG/SF, Milwaukee Bucks

DraftKings Price: $4,400

With one more win, the Milwaukee Bucks will be guaranteed the best record in the NBA for the 2018-19 season. With two more wins, they'll ensure their first 60-win season since 1980-81, a team led in scoring by Marques Johnson. It's quite the jump from last year's 44-38 team.

While a lot of the success is due to Giannis Antetokounmpo's huge step forward this season, the team has been winning with team ball. Everyone is stepping up, and some are getting more minutes than usual due to injuries. One such player is Sterling Brown.

Brown, when healthy, is certainly a rotation player, but he has really stepped it up when Malcolm Brogdon has been injured. In 46 games with Brogdon, Brown has played just 15.9 minutes and averaged 5.1 points, 2.8 boards, and 1.2 assists. In eight games without Brogdon, he's playing an extra 7.7 minutes per game and averaging 12.3 points, 4.8 boards, and 2.0 assists. Those numbers are an even better 13.3, 5.2, and 2.2 since Brogdon went down in mid March.

Needless to say, Brown has been a consistent contributor of late, yet his price hasn't risen very quickly. We have him projected for 22.3 DraftKings points tonight, which would return a value of nearly 5.1 points per $1,000.
