Tuesday's NBA turbo slate on DraftKings is a two-game card, MIA @ UTA and LAC @ PHX, with a $50,000 salary cap. The slate locks Tuesday at 9:00 p.m. ET (6:00 p.m. PT).
Our model's ranking puts Bam Adebayo (MIA) at the top of the pile at $8,200, with a ceiling of 82.7, the highest on the sheet. His DraftKings average is 38.9. Giannis Antetokounmpo (MIA) costs $11,400 with a 72.0 ceiling and the best average of the group at 55.9, though the price eats a big share of the cap. Devin Booker (PHX) at $8,100 carries a 67.5 ceiling and a 38.4 average, and Darius Garland (LAC) at $8,300 has a 67.3 ceiling.
The value side is where the model leans. Davion Mitchell (MIA) at $6,800 has a 59.5 ceiling, and Brook Lopez (LAC) at just $5,000 has a 44.0 ceiling and a 25.6 average. Miles Bridges (PHX) at $7,100 brings a 38.2 average. Lauri Markkanen (UTA) is $7,500 with a 72.2 ceiling, but he carries a Q tag from DraftKings, so check his status before lock.
The sheet gives no ownership figures, so we can't say where the crowd will land. With only two games, though, the pool is shallow, and the same handful of names will likely draw heavy attention.
Our model's top lineup uses $49,600 of the $50,000 cap. It runs Booker at PG, Keaton Wagler ($5,300) at SG, Ace Bailey ($6,700) at SF, Bridges at PF, Lopez at C, Pelle Larsson ($5,300) at G, Dillon Brooks ($6,100) at F and Rui Hachimura ($6,000) at UTIL. It skips the expensive stars and spreads salary across the card.
