Tuesday's DraftKings slate is a single-game showdown, KU @ UK, with a captain slot that scores 1.5x points at 1.5x salary and a $50,000 cap. The slate locks at 9:20 p.m. ET (6:20 p.m. PT) on Tue 11/10.
A note on the numbers first: our model's projections are not built for this slate, so there are no projected points to share. What we can offer are DraftKings season averages, and they should be read as history, not forecast. Alex Wilkins (UK, G) leads the board at 28.6 for $5,600. Melvin Council Jr. (KU, G) sits at 24.1 but costs $11,400, and he carries an OUT tag from DraftKings. Tre White (KU, G) averages 23.4 at $10,000, matching Malachi Moreno (UK, F) at 23.4 for $7,400.
The value plays are where this slate gets interesting. Trey Kaufman-Renn (KU, F) averages 23.4 at just $5,800, and Zoom Diallo (UK, G) posts 23.3 for $5,400. Milan Momcilovic (UK, F) drops to $4,400 with a 22.8 average, and Braydon Hawthorne (UK, F) is the extreme case at $1,200 with a 22.4 average. Cheap pieces like those free up cap room for the expensive captain slot.
Ownership data isn't available for this slate, so we can't say where the crowd is likely to go. Status tags are worth checking before lock. Besides Council, DraftKings lists Grant Mordini (KU) as OUT and Jerone Morton (UK) as OUT, while Kohl Rosario (KU) and Trent Noah (UK) carry Q tags.
Our model's top lineup is also unavailable for this slate, since the projections behind it were not built, so there is no lineup or total salary to report. Build your own around the averages above, and get your lineups in before the 9:20 p.m. ET lock.
