DraftKings Salary: $5,800

I don't think anyone was expecting a late-season surge from Brook Lopez and the Los Angeles Lakers, but here we are, with Los Angeles winners of seven of their past nine and BROLO playing excellent ball. He has put up 30-plus DraftKings points in four straight games, while topping 30 minutes in three straight. Lopez has averaged well over a full DraftKings point per minute all year -- it's almost as if all he needed was to play more than 22 minutes per game. His 39.2 DraftKings points per game over his past four is far more than needed from him at this price tag.

Lopez put up 43.75 DraftKings points against this Denver Nuggets squad just four days ago, which brought his season average against Denver to 35.8 DraftKings points. He put up that total while playing in the altitude of Denver, and now he gets to face them in Los Angeles, where he has averaged 3.7 more DraftKings points per game on the year.

The 231-point over/under in this game is the highest on the slate, so there should be plenty of points to go around. Lopez is likely to be looking at big minutes for the shorthanded Lakers, as both Brandon Ingram and Josh Hart recover from injuries. Until DraftKings prices him up to reflect his recent role, Lopez will continue to be an exciting play in all formats.
