Check out the best bargains on Draft Kings for today’s slate of NBA action. Here you’ll find low-priced players with good matchups that allow you to put the Stephen Curry-type stars n your roster.
Point Guard: T.J. McConnell, 76ers ($5,000)
McConnell isn’t contributing too much in the points column, but assists are worth more than points, and McConnell is handing those out like candy (7.2 per game). The Sixers have no interest in winning games, so giving a guy like McConnell plenty of burn is in their plans. He’s got a nice stroke as well, so a double-double is in play for a wonderful price.
Clueless Byron Scott Alienating D'Angelo Russell
Shooting Guard: Eric Gordon, Pelicans ($5,600)
Gordon’s not shooting the lights out like he did last year, but he’s launching more than seven 3-pointers a night. He’s still making 35 percent from deep though, and 17 points isn’t anything to sneeze at. 3-pointers are valuable on Draft Kings, so when you’re bargain shopping in the backcourt, Gordon’s a good compromise.
Small Forward: Tobias Harris, Magic ($6,100)
Harris is a stat-stuffer plain and simple, so unleashing him on the 76ers is near-guaranteed double-double. Assists and blocks are not abundant from Harris, but he will score like crazy vs. Philadelphia, and possibly get a dozen rebounds.

Power Forward: Thaddeus Young, Nets ($5,700):
Young doesn’t put up numbers in a pretty fashion, but like Harris, he gets his. 20-plus points isn’t out of the question against the Bucks and Greg Monroe, and he has an outside shot at a double-double with points and rebounds. For less than $6,000 you can’t ask for much more.
Center: Festus Ezeli, Warriors ($4,500)
Not that being well-rounded is too important on Draft Kings, but Ezeli is getting increased minutes with Andrew Bogut out of commission, and he is a very cheap source of blocks. Right now Ezeli is averaging 10 points and six boards, and tonight he gets to tear up the Kings on the second leg of their back-to-back.
Bonus Guard: Jarrett Jack, Nets ($5,600)
Talent isn’t the target here, production is. Nobody’s excited to draft Jack, but the fact is he has free reign to chuck as the Nets’ starting point guard, and he will fill up the stat sheet. If you want a player like Curry or James Harden to lead the way, guys like Jack are essential to guaranteeing a high floor for the remaining players.
Bonus Forward: John Henson, Bucks ($3,800)
Henson can be frustrating or rewarding. He’s supremely talented, and very productive when he gets minutes. If the Bucks go small, he will be the big man in a lot of those units, which will allow him to clean up on the glass, block shots, and pick up dirty work points.
