Wednesday's main DraftKings classic slate runs seven games: WAS @ IND, CLE @ NYK, BOS @ TOR, SAS @ CHI, DEN @ MEM, LAL @ MIL and BKN @ NOP. Lock is Wed 11/11 at 7:00 p.m. ET (4:00 p.m. PT), with a $50,000 salary cap.
Luka Doncic of LAL tops our model's ranking at $12,300. His ceiling of 114.7 is the highest on the board by a wide margin, and his DraftKings average sits at 67.4. Anthony Davis of WAS comes next at $8,900 with a ceiling of 93.1 against an average of 45.5. In the Denver game, Nikola Jokic costs $11,500 with a 73.7 ceiling and a 57.5 average, while Jamal Murray is $8,300 with a 68.4 ceiling. Victor Wembanyama of SAS is $11,800 with a 72.1 ceiling and a 61.6 average.
Our model also likes a few mid-priced options. Austin Reaves of LAL is $8,000 with an 81.5 ceiling. On the SAS side, Dylan Harper at $6,700 carries a 76.1 ceiling, and Stephon Castle at $6,600 has a 65.1 ceiling. Both averages (32.7 and 31.9) are well below their ceilings, which tells you the upside is real but not guaranteed.
Roster news matters here. DraftKings lists Scottie Barnes and Kawhi Leonard of TOR as OUT, along with Tyrese Haliburton of IND, Tyler Herro of MIL and Josh Hart of NYK. Trey Murphy III of NOP, Immanuel Quickley of TOR and Norman Powell of CHI carry Q tags, so check status before lock.
The fact sheet doesn't include ownership figures, so we can't say where the crowd will land.
Our model's top lineup uses $49,700 of the $50,000 cap. It pairs Doncic at PG ($12,300) with Murray at G ($8,300) and Pascal Siakam at F ($7,900), then fills out the roster with Christian Braun at SG ($4,800), Meleek Thomas at SF ($4,600), Jerami Grant at PF ($4,200), DeAndre Jordan at C ($3,000) and Obi Toppin at UTIL ($4,600).
Lock is Wed 11/11 at 7:00 p.m. ET.
