Jrue Holiday, PG/SG, New Orleans Pelicans

DraftKings Salary: $8,500

Jrue Holiday is one of the few studs who may be able to challenge Durant on a per-dollar basis. His New Orleans Pelicans will very likely be without Anthony Davis, which would leave him as the defacto number-one scoring option.

With both Davis and DeMarcus Cousins off the court, Holiday has maintained a 35.4% usage rate and 1.45 DraftKings points per minute, which are unbelievably strong numbers for someone at this price point.

Even with Davis in the lineup, Holiday had averaged 47.8 DraftKings points over his past 10 games. He was already exceeding value at this price point while sharing the court with a usage monster in AD. With Davis sidelined, Holiday's ceiling is through the roof. He is an awesome play in all formats given his salary.
