DeAndre Bembry, SG/SF, Atlanta Hawks

DraftKings Price: $4,900

The Atlanta Hawks may only have 29 wins on the season, but they've saved their best basketball for late. They've won five of their past seven games, despite dealing with a number of injuries. They'll be without two more regulars tonight when Kevin Huerter and Kent Bazemore miss the game against the Orlando Magic.

That means quite a few minutes will need to be divvied up, and one player likely to see some extra run is DeAndre Bembry. Bembry has only been playing around 20 minutes per night, but that hasn't stopped him from having some big games of late. He's scored at least 32.0 DraftKings points in three of his past five games, all Hawks wins.

Bembry has struggled against the Magic in each of his past two games, scoring just 6.75 and 17.25 DraftKings points, respectively, but he showed his upside when he scored 35.5 DraftKings points in a start against them on January 21.

While we don't know if he'll start tonight, the injury to Huerter makes it likely. Our models have him projected for nearly 32.5 minutes of run and peg him to score 29.7 DraftKings points in that time. That would equate to a value of nearly 6.1 DraftKings points per $1,000, the fourth-best value on the slate.
