DraftKings Price: $5,100
The Memphis Grizzlies are going to struggle to field a team tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Let's go over a list of the reasons why.
Marc Gasol? Traded. Garrett Temple? Doubtful. Dealing with a shoulder injury and on the trading block. Justin Holiday? Healthy but could easily be traded before tonight's game. Kyle Anderson? Available only for emergencies (as in, the Grizzlies only have six players available, which is looking more and more likely). Add in a slew of questionable players, and there are suddenly just a handful of Grizz who will actually be able to see run this evening.
One of the few remaining players who should be targeted, though, is Ivan Rabb. The second-year big has had a few opportunities over the past couple of weeks to showcase his potential, and boy has he come through.
Rabb has seen 20-plus minutes of run four times since January 19. He has come through with at least 25.0 DraftKings points in each of those games, including 41.75 in 33 minutes in his last outing -- and first start of the season -- against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Whether he starts or not tonight, he's almost certain to see 25-30 minutes of run given the Grizzlies' roster issues. Despite his $1,500 jump in salary since Tuesday, he's in an excellent position to return solid value once again this evening.
