The nine-game NBA slate on DraftKings on Monday night offers up a lot of options to consider for your DFS lineups. There are a bunch of new faces in new places that had strong debuts with their new clubs and are still underpriced for their enhanced situation. Then, of course, we have a slew of injuries to take note of and monitor leading up to tipoff, including Giannis Antetokounmpo which would open up a few options in Milwaukee.
Note that some of the stats referenced in this article are my custom defense versus position (DvP) calculations that combines data from the season and last five games along with blending similar positions production allowed together.

One Stud
Nikola Jokic (C – DEN): $10,200 vs. SA
While I am going to list my top stud of the night here, there is a good chance that I will not be rostering a high-priced stud on this slate. That said, if we do come up with the salary space, then Nikola Jokic will be that guy for me. Over his last four games, Jokic has dropped 30.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, and 9.0 assists per game. He will face a Spurs team that has allowed slight increases in production to opposing big men in points (+1.8%), rebounds (+7.6%), and assists (+8.3%).
