Larry Nance Jr., PF/C, Cleveland Cavaliers

DraftKings Salary: $7,000

While our projections like Simmons, they are in love with Larry Nance Jr. He is expected to put up 37.9 DraftKings points, which makes him one of the most obvious values on the slate at this price point. Nance needs just 35 DraftKings points to reach five-times value, which he has accomplished in three of four games since Tristan Thompson went down. The only exception was a foul-riddled game against the Los Angeles Lakers, in which Nance only played 26 minutes.

Since arriving in Cleveland, Nance has averaged 1.18 DraftKings points per minute, and since Thompson went down, he has averaged 31.3 minutes. At that rate, Nance should have no problem reaching 35 DraftKings points, especially in an up-tempo matchup against the Phoenix Suns. This game initially opened up with a 230-point over/under with the Cleveland Cavaliers carrying the highest implied team total on the slate, so there should be plenty of scoring opportunities there for Nance. As long as the Suns can keep the game relatively competitive, Nance should put up a huge total tonight.
