Monday's main slate is a single game, ARIZ @ UCLA, and it locks at 10:00 p.m. ET (7:00 p.m. PT). DraftKings uses its captain format here, with the captain slot scoring 1.5x points at 1.5x salary under a $50,000 cap. One note up front: our projections are not built for this slate, so the numbers below are DraftKings averages, not model projections.
Motiejus Krivas (ARIZ, F) has the highest DraftKings average at 27.2 and costs $11,000. Eric Dailey Jr. (UCLA, G/F) follows at 23.1 for $9,000. Trent Perry (UCLA, G) averages 22.6 at $9,600, and Ivan Kharchenkov (ARIZ, F) averages 22.3 at $10,200.
The best value on the board is RJ Godfrey (ARIZ, F), who averages 23.0 for just $6,400, though he carries a Q tag from DraftKings. Azavier Robinson (UCLA, G) is the cheap option, averaging 15.0 at $3,400. Jaylen Petty (UCLA, G) at $7,600 and Xavier Booker (UCLA, F) at $7,000 average 19.9 and 15.7 and fill the middle tier. Also watch the status tags: Endurance Aiyamenkhue (ARIZ) and Eric Freeny (UCLA) are both Q, and Filip Jovic (UCLA) is tagged OUT.
The sheet has no ownership data for this slate, so we can't say where the crowd will gather.
Our model's top lineup spends $49,900 of the $50,000 cap. It puts Ivan Kharchenkov in the captain slot at $15,300, then fills the UTIL spots with Jaylen Petty at $7,600, Motiejus Krivas at $11,000, Trent Perry at $9,600, Evan Otten at $1,000 and Filip Jovic at $5,400. Jovic carries the OUT tag from DraftKings, so check the status before you lock anything in.
