Friday's four-game turbo slate is UTA @ DAL, OKC @ MEM, TOR @ MIL and MIN @ NOP, with a $50,000 salary cap on DraftKings classic. Lock is Fri 11/6 at 8:00 p.m. ET (5:00 p.m. PT).
At the top of our model's ranking, Cooper Flagg (DAL) carries the biggest numbers at $9,900, with a ceiling of 78.9 and a DraftKings average of 43.5. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (OKC) costs $10,200 and averages 45.6, though his ceiling of 61.5 sits well below Flagg's. Scottie Barnes (TOR) is $8,800 with a 63.5 ceiling and a 39.5 average, but he carries a Q tag on DraftKings, so check his status before lock. LaMelo Ball (MIN) is $8,200 with a 56.5 ceiling.
The value plays are where our model leans hardest. Jeremiah Fears (NOP) is $6,500 with a 59.6 ceiling against a 31.6 average, a ceiling that rivals players priced thousands higher. His teammate Derik Queen (NOP) is $6,200 with a 50.4 ceiling. Kyrie Irving (DAL) is $7,400 with a 58.8 ceiling and a 37.4 average. The deepest punt on the board is Jericho Sims (MIL) at $3,000. His average is only 3.7, but a 38.2 ceiling is a lot of upside for the minimum-level price. Trey Murphy III (NOP) also carries a Q tag.
The sheet does not give ownership figures for this slate, so we will not guess where the crowd is headed. Several notable names are tagged OUT, including Anthony Edwards (MIN), Kawhi Leonard (TOR), Jaren Jackson Jr. (UTA), Chet Holmgren (OKC), Yves Missi (NOP) and Jusuf Nurkic (UTA).
Our model's top lineup uses the full $50,000: Kyrie Irving at PG ($7,400), Tyler Herro at SG ($6,900), Ace Bailey at SF ($6,600), Kenrich Williams at PF ($4,400), Rudy Gobert at C ($5,500), Jeremiah Fears at G ($6,500), Jonathan Kuminga at F ($6,300) and Cedric Coward at UTIL ($6,400).
