Dennis Schroder, PG, Atlanta Hawks

DraftKings Salary: $6,500

After inexplicably dropping his price below $6,000 on Tuesday, DraftKings has Dennis Schroder back up to a more reasonable price tag. He is still far too cheap at this salary, though, as he needs just 32.5 DraftKings points to reach value. He's averaging 39.2 over the past 10 days, and with Kent Bazemore done for the year, Schroder should continue to be a usage monster to close the season.

Schroder has a 36.2% usage rate with Bazemore off the court this season, and we saw in his most recent game that he will completely take over if he gets hot. For reference to how nuts that usage rate is, James Harden leads the league with a 36.4% usage rate this season. You do not get that type of usage from players this cheap.

It may seem point-chasey, but Schroder could legitimately post another explosive game tonight as he faces a Sacramento Kings squad ranked 29th in defensive efficiency. If he finds his shot early, Schroder could be in for another huge night. As of now, this is the only game with a spread of less than 5.0 points, so it should remain competitive, securing Schroder minutes in the mid-30's. Give him a look in any format as he is simply too cheap for his role and matchup.
