Taurean Prince, SG/SF, Atlanta Hawks

DraftKings Salary: $5,500

The Atlanta Hawks players really didn't get the price bump most teams receive when facing the Phoenix Suns, as Taurean Prince, Dennis Schroder ($7,300), and John Collins ($4,900) all seem significantly underpriced.

Prince's game has a lot of volatility to it, but he has the upside to absolutely smash salary-based expectations. To hit 5 fantasy points for every $1,000 in salary, Prince would need 27.5 DraftKings points. He's averaged 38.1 DraftKings points over the past week, and he has three performances of 40-plus DraftKings points across his past 10 games. He also has three games with less than 21 DraftKings points mixed in there, so there is certainly some risk included.

Prince is also Atlanta's leading transition scorer, so if anyone will be able to take advantage of this uptempo matchup, it would be him. He is a terrific value at this price and is worth a look in any format.
