It’s Friday night and we have a nine-game slate over on DraftKings tonight. There are several high totals and pace up spots on tonight’s slate, while seven players are priced over $9,000. DraftKings has tightened up the pricing on a few of the superstar players in great matchups tonight, so constructing a roster with players like Anthony Davis or Russell Westbrook might prove to be difficult. Due to that, I am planning to construct a roster without either of these players in large field tournaments.
With this in mind, I have focused on identifying my two favorite plays, regardless of price, at each position that can give us an edge in tournaments on tonight’s slate.

Stephen Curry (GSW): $10,600 at SAC
The Warriors players are obviously in a great spot against the Kings tonight but DraftKings has priced each of them accordingly. With that being said, I still plan on building around Curry in my tournament lineups. He is coming off a down game against the Jazz on Tuesday but the Kings are ranked 29th in defensive efficiency rating this season and De’Aaron Fox is ranked 96th out of 98 in DRPM at the PG position. Prior to Curry’s subpar game against the Jazz, he averaged 58.25 DK points over a three-game stretch while averaging 35.3 real points. If the Kings can keep this game somewhat competitive, Curry is a safe bet for 50+ DK points.
