DraftKings Salary: $4,100
After a dreadful start to the year, George Hill has come on over the last week for the Sacramento Kings. He has been open about needing to be more aggressive, and he has averaged 24.3 DraftKings points since admitting such. His apparent change in attitude has caught the eye of coach Dave Joerger, as Hill has seen his minutes on a steady rise, getting all the way up to 31 in his last game.
He needs just 20.5 DraftKings points to reach value at this price, which he has done in each of his past four games. He shouldn't struggle to reach that mark against a Denver Nuggets team that runs out Jamal Murray and Emmanuel Mudiay at point guard. Murray ranks 72nd among 87 qualified point guards in defensive real plus-minus this season, while Mudiay ranks 85th. Given the way he has played lately, it would be surprising to see Hill finish with fewer than 20.5 DraftKings points in this matchup.
The Kings have the ability to get blown out on any given night, so it is tough to trust Hill in cash formats, but his price is low enough that he is worth at least considering in all formats.
