Our projections are not built for this slate, so there is no model lineup or ownership read to offer here. What we can offer is a look at the DraftKings averages and status tags for a three-game NBA turbo slate: SAC @ DAL, NOP @ MEM and MIL @ MIN. The salary cap is $50,000, and the slate locks Mon 11/2 at 8:00 p.m. ET (5:00 p.m. PT).
The highest DraftKings averages belong to Cooper Flagg (DAL), at 51.3 for $9,600, and Anthony Edwards (MIN), at 50.8 for $9,200. Edwards carries an OUT tag, so his number is not one to chase. Domantas Sabonis (SAC) sits third at 49.0 for $9,500 and is the priciest healthy option behind Flagg.
The more interesting numbers come a tier down. Darius Acuff Jr. (SAC) averages 41.9 at $8,000, and Cameron Boozer (MEM) matches that 41.9 at $7,700, making Boozer the cheaper of the two for identical production. Ty Jerome (MEM) averages 41.0 at $8,500, while Dejounte Murray (NOP) checks in at 38.9 for $7,800.
Tyler Herro (MIL) is the clearest value on the sheet. His 37.1 average comes at just $6,900, the lowest salary among the top eight averages, which leaves more room to spend up elsewhere.
Several tags matter on a slate this small. Kyrie Irving (DAL), Trey Murphy III (NOP), Zach LaVine (SAC) and Santi Aldama (DAL) all carry Q tags. Yves Missi (NOP), Maxime Raynaud (SAC) and Keegan Murray (SAC) are all tagged OUT, along with Edwards. Those absences are worth checking before you finalize anything, since they can reshape the pool quickly.
Ownership figures are not available for this slate, so we cannot say where the crowd will land. With no model lineup either, you will be building from the averages above. Lock is Mon 11/2 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
