DraftKings Salary: $4,400
The Sacramento Kings will again be without Willie Cauley-Stein, while Skal Labissiere is questionable. Kosta Koufos has started each of the past two games for Sacramento and has topped five-times value at this price tag in both. He has a solid 0.94 DraftKings points per minute average on the year, which makes him a promising value play if we assume he'll see 25-plus minutes once again.
Sacramento was also without Cauley-Stein and Labissiere the last time Koufos faced the Pelicans, which resulted in a 46.75-DraftKings-point performance in 37 minutes of action. He could again be looking at big minutes in a game in which the Kings are expected to outscore their season average by 10 points.
Koufos is already firmly in play in all formats at this price and is close to a must-play if we get news that Labissiere is sitting.
