John Wall, PG, Washington Wizards

DraftKings Salary: $7,500

In his first game back, John Wall did not appear to be limited, playing 33 minutes and putting up 42.25 DraftKings points. However, he is still priced as if he is on a minutes cap of some sort, as Wall needs just 37.5 DraftKings points to hit value at this price tag. If he is going to see 30-plus minutes again tonight, this salary is way too low.

At this price tag, Wall has hit five-times value in 68.4% of his games and has hit six-times value at an unprecedented 47.4% rate. For reference, among players priced at $7,500 or higher, Paul George comes in with the next-highest six-times rate, at 24%. The most comparable five-times rate among studs is Damian Lillard, who has hit five-times value in 52.2% of his games. Wall is clearly underpriced if he is going to play anything near his usual role.

To top it off, Chris Paul could miss this game, which would leave James Harden and Eric Gordon to defend Wall. That would be a huge boost to his value, making him a near-lock in all formats. If paying up for a point guard, Wall offers top end upside and comes at a serious discount from some of the other elite players. He is viable in all formats at this price.
