SuperDraft is one of the hottest platforms in the market for DFS players. SuperDraft offers a unique twist on your traditional DFS experience with game modes like “Multiplier” and “Super 15.”
This daily article will focus on daily value plays from SuperDraft’s exclusive Multiplier game mode. By eliminating the traditional salary cap structure and providing a points multiplier for every player on the slate, there is almost limitless flexibility when building lineups on SuperDraft.

With five games on tonight’s slate, let’s get into some of the Multiplier plays over on SuperDraft.
Guard
DeMar DeRozan (1.1x)
The small slate tonight seems to have condensed the multipliers of some of the top options on SuperDraft. Many players in this game like DeRozan, Nikola Vucevic, Chris Paul, and Devin Booker are all at their lowest multipliers of the season, but that doesn’t mean we should shy away. The game currently has the highest implied total with the Suns as eight-point road favorites after opening at Phoenix by five and a half. As of publication, the Bulls (who are on the second night of a back-to-back) have listed Zach LaVine and Coby White as questionable, but the line movement suggests that Chicago will continue to be without that guard pair. If that happens, my worry about a blowout doesn’t outweigh my intrigue about what those two absences mean for DeRozan. Over the last two games (without both guards), DeRozan has averaged 38 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists with a usage rate north of 42%. It’s too small of a sample size to deal in absolutes of course, but with the added versatility of his guard and forward eligibility, that is upside that I want to get exposure to.
Josh Giddey (1.45x)
The Thunder are going to be shorthanded in this one, but just how many starters they’ll be without remains to be seen. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be out until at least the All-Star break, and occasional starters Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Aaron Wiggins are also sidelined tonight. The Thunder are one of the worst teams in the league even with those three players suited up. The disparity in quality shows in the line on this game, which is currently showing the Thunder as 12.5-point home underdogs with a 99-point implied team total. But Giddey’s minutes and opportunities have been elevated in the four games without SGA. He’s averaging 35.5 minutes, 17 points, 7.5 rebounds and 6.3 assists over that span. He’s posted a 25.6% usage rate, 29.1% assist rate, and 11.4% rebound rate in that same range. There are so many ways in which the rookie is recording fantasy points, and with the 45% boost on his output on SuperDraft, he’s a priority for me at guard.
Forward
Bam Adebayo (1.2x)
Speaking of inactive, there’s a lot up in the air for Miami tonight. Jimmy Butler and Caleb Martin are questionable, and Tyler Herro is expected to sit. Regardless of the status of those three, I have interest in Adebayo on SuperDraft tonight. The matchup against the Wizards is one of the best in the league for centers, and if we check out the Advanced DvP tool at FTN Daily, we see that Washington is bottom-third in the league defending all three of Adebayo’s traits. He’s been great of late, recording a double-double in five of his last six games. He’s also averaging more than four stocks (steals + blocks) over his last five. Having forward eligibility is an added bonus to Adebayo’s appeal.
Darius Bazley (1.6x)
Another beneficiary of the injuries in Oklahoma City has been Darius Bazley, who was benched earlier in the season in favor of Aaron Wiggins and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (depending on the matchup). He’s worked his way back into a larger role and has taken on his old minutes load with the recent inactives. Bazley is averaging 33.5 minutes per game over the last four, and recorded 13 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 stocks per game over that span. With limited high-multiplier options so far on this slate, Bazley is one of my favorite players to take a chance on in tournaments, but not someone I would prioritize in a cash scenario.
Center
Deandre Ayton (1.2x)
With no “elite” options at the five available tonight, we’ll look to the young star center in Phoenix for the first time in weeks. Ayton has played three games now since returning from his two-week absence for an ankle injury, but he hasn’t played more than 28 minutes. I think that changes tonight. With the high-powered Bulls on the schedule, it makes sense that this is the night Ayton returns to his season average of right around 30 minutes per game. We saw his upside against the Wizards (cough-cough play Bam Adebayo) last time out, putting up 20 points and 16 rebounds in just 24 minutes. The Chicago frontcourt is a bit more stout, though they are bottom-half in the league against all three of Ayton’s advanced DvP traits. With the highest implied team total on the slate, if you aren’t using your center spot on Adebayo, Ayton is my priority.
