Finding the Value – NBA DraftKings
A look back at March 6, 2020 – Draft Kings Main Slate Winning Lineup
As the NBA Season is set to restart, I am reminded of the 23pts/1k value that Phoenix Suns Aron Baynes smashed on. You had to have him in your lineup to take down a tournament slate that day. The 3k salary not only freed up cap space for an optimal lineup, he went on a rampage and put up 69.5 DK points.
It wasn’t just Baynes
There were 3 players under $3,500 that were rostered in the winning DK DFS Lineup, Shaquille Harrison at 3,500 put up 48.5 DK points, and more importantly was owned a measly 3.11%
- Baynes at $3,000 went 23x his salary
- Harrison at $3,500 went 13.8x his salary
- Teague at $3,300 went 6.2x his salary
