5 – Nikola Jokic
Position: C | Salary: $12,000
Projections: 30.3 Points, 12.6 Rebounds, 8.1 Assists, 2.2 Stocks
The Jazz don’t have anyone who can even think about slowing Jokic down — not Walker Kessler, not Drew Eubanks and certainly not Kyle Filipowski. With no other high-end pay-up options like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Giannis Antetokounmpo or Victor Wembanyama available today, Jokic stands alone as the ultimate ceiling play. We’ll have plenty of value to afford his salary, so don’t overthink it — just lock him in.
4 – Andrew Wiggins
Position: SF/PF | Salary: $5,400
Projections: 16.7 Points, 4.9 Rebounds, 2.6 Assists, 1.6 Stocks
Golden State’s rotation is starting to stabilize, and Wiggins benefits from multi-position eligibility and a reasonable price tag. While the matchup with an elite Cavaliers squad isn’t ideal, his role and salary make him a key value option today.
3 – Collin Sexton
Position: PG/SG | Salary: $6,100
Projections: 20.7 Points, 2.9 Rebounds, 5.0 Assists, 1.1 Stocks
Keyonte George’s status is critical here, so keep an eye on the news. If George is out, Sexton could push into the low-30s in minutes, making his scoring upside even more attractive. While Denver’s defense is solid, the absence of Aaron Gordon provides some relief for Sexton’s matchup. He’s slightly underpriced for his role and remains a strong tournament play.
2 –Â Miles Bridges
Position: PF | Salary: $7,300
Projections: 22.9 Points, 7.4 Rebounds, 3.5 Assists, 1.4 Stocks
Bridges is primed for a big night with LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller expected to miss the game. Given Charlotte is missing so much firepower, Bridges will soak up all the usage he can handle in this high-paced matchup. While he’s not the most efficient option in a full-strength lineup, his increased role makes him an excellent DFS target today.
1 – Vasilije Micic
Position: PG | Salary: $4,600
Projections: 14.0 Points, 3.1 Rebounds, 6.0 Assists, 1.0 Stocks
With Ball and Miller sidelined, Micic should continue to start and see extended run in a competitive matchup against the Bulls. He’s not a standout per-minute producer, but the increased opportunity at his price tag makes him a near-must-play in all formats. As long as Micic starts, he’ll be a top-tier value option on this slate.
