DraftKings Price: $4,300
Tonight's game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets is projected to be the highest-scoring game of the evening with a total set at a whopping 238.0 points. That will obviously benefit the likes of Russell Westbrook and Nikola Jokic, but the teams' respective backups stand to benefit as well from the fast-paced affair.
One such player who is ready to pounce on that tempo is Thunder guard Dennis Schroder. Schroder's transition from starting point guard in Atlanta to bench player in OKC has been a relatively smooth one. Though his numbers are down across the board -- as one would expect from such a move -- they haven't dropped drastically.
He's still averaging 15.6 points (third-best on the team), 4.1 assists, 3.3 rebounds, and 0.9 steals. He comes into the game having scored an average of 27.7 DraftKings points per game this year, and he's only dropped below 20 DraftKings points once in his past 10 games. We don't anticipate that happening again tonight as our models project him to score 24.8 DraftKings points, which would give you a return of nearly 5.8 DraftKings points per $1,000.
