Wednesday's DraftKings slate is a single-game showdown, SELA @ AUB, with a $50,000 cap and a captain slot that scores 1.5x points at 1.5x salary. Lock is Wed 11/4 at 8:00 p.m. ET (5:00 p.m. PT).
One note on the numbers: our projections are not built for this slate, so the figures below are DraftKings averages rather than model projections. Thomas Dowd (AUB, F) tops the board at $8,200 with a DraftKings average of 36.3, well clear of everyone else. Tahaad Pettiford (AUB, G) follows at $11,000 with a 27.8 average, and Kevin Overton (AUB, G) sits at $10,000 with a 23.0 average. Quincy Allen (SELA, G) is the top SELA name at $7,000 and 22.4.
The value plays come from the cheap end of the pool. Adam Olsen (AUB, F) costs just $4,000 and averages 26.7, which is a rare return on that salary. Ashley Sims II (SELA, F) is $3,000 with an 18.3 average, and Jackson Furman (SELA, G) is only $1,800 with a 16.4 average. Bukky Oboye (AUB, F) at $4,800 and 17.4 rounds out the group. Owen Freeman (AUB) carries a Q tag from DraftKings, so keep an eye on that before lock.
The sheet does not include ownership figures for this slate, so we can't say where the crowd is likely to land.
Our model's top lineup uses the full $50,000. It puts Kevin Overton at captain for $15,000, then fills the UTIL spots with Adam Olsen at $4,000, Bukky Oboye at $4,800, Tahaad Pettiford at $11,000, Quincy Allen at $7,000 and Thomas Dowd at $8,200. The build leans on AUB, pairing the cheap Olsen and Oboye with the high-priced Overton, Pettiford and Dowd, with Allen as the lone SELA piece.
