Finding value on Saturday night’s six-game main slate on DraftKings comes easily with a variety of players already ruled out and another situation to watch closely. This sets up perfectly to roster at least one and maybe even two of the high-priced studs over $10k if things fall right. We also get a rematch of the epic Spurs/Thunder matchup from Thursday night that went two overtimes and produced over 300 total points. So, let’s get after Saturday night’s six-pack of games on the hardwood!
Note that some of the stats referenced in this article are my custom DvP calculations that combine both season and last five games data along with blending similar positions production allowed together.

Russell Westbrook (PG – OKC): $11,800 vs. SA
I am not going to talk you away from using any of the trio of five-figure options on the slate including Anthony Davis, Nikola Jokic and Russell Westbrook. If I must choose one, then give me Westbrook who has the safest floor and just as high of a ceiling as the other two. Westbrook was fantastic in Thursday’s matchup against the Spurs with 24 points, 24 assists and 13 rebounds. Sure, he is not likely to match those numbers again on Saturday, but I doubt the Spurs figured out how to stop him over the last couple of days which means he should be good enough for his usual triple-double stat line.
