LaMarcus Aldridge, PF/C, San Antonio Spurs

DraftKings Salary: $8,300

LaMarcus Aldridge has been incredible for San Antonio this season, but we knew his efficiency had to slow down at some point. He posted his first subpar game of the season his last time out, scoring just 23.75 DraftKings points against the Boston Celtics. Even with that performance, his season DraftKings average is 41 points which is just below tonight's salary-implied value of 41.5. Prior to that dud, Aldridge was averaging 43.9 DraftKings points.

He'll draw a tough individual matchup against Draymond Green, but it is not one that he was unable to overcome last season. Aldridge averaged 43.4 DraftKings points in two meetings with the Dubs last year -- and that was with Kawhi Leonard in the lineup. His usage rate is up from 24.5% last season to 28.6% this year, and if San Antonio is going to keep this game competitive, it will likely be on Aldridge. He is a strong play in all formats on such a small slate.
