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. You can load up on all the studs, but their point multipliers will be low.

With 11 games on Monday’s slate, let’s get into some of the multiplier plays over on SuperDraft.
Guard
Spencer Dinwiddie, Washington Wizards (1.35x score multiplier) – As injury reports are released throughout the day, there will likely be a host of new value appearing as we head toward lock. But as of this writing, one of the biggest pieces of news that we have to work with is that Bradley Beal will miss the Wizards game against the visiting Pelicans. Beal has missed two games this season for Washington, and Dinwiddie is averaging 28.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 7.5 assists in those games. If you want a larger sample, in the 145 minutes with Beal off the floor this season, Dinwiddie has an attractive 31.9% usage rate. At his elevated multiplier, it’s near impossible to ignore the upside Dinwiddie brings to your SuperDraft lineup in any format.
Cole Anthony, Orlando Magic (1.35x) – This play will be more of a priority if Jalen Suggs, who is listed questionable with an ankle injury, ends up sitting for Orlando. Anthony has been a revelation for the Magic in a season that hasn’t had much to be positive about yet as they sit at 3-10. Anthony has been the most consistent producer on this team, and his minutes load has followed his performance. He hasn’t dipped below 30 minutes in a game all season and has cracked 55 SuperDraft points three times in eleven games. The second-year guard has a 25.9% usage rate on the season, but that figure increases to 29.2% in the 230 minutes Anthony has spent on the court without Jalen Suggs so far this year. If Suggs is out, I have a ton of interest in Anthony at the jam-packed guard position.
Forward
Jayson Tatum, Boston Celtics (1.15x) – Jaylen Brown remains out for Boston, extending the window for Tatum’s massive usage rate, which sits at 33.9% in 269 minutes without Brown on the floor this season. He’s shot the ball quite poorly through the 13 games Boston has played thus far, slashing just 39/32/74, which compared to last year’s 46/39/87 is quite a precipitous drop. I think the field could stay away from Tatum with eleven games on the slate and I love getting to him at his 1.15x multiplier, especially as a way to get different in large field tournaments. The shooting will positively regress at some point soon, and we want to be out ahead of everyone else when it happens.
Zach LaVine, Chicago Bulls (1.25x) – The Bulls have had it rough lately with the loss of Patrick Williams to injury followed by Nikola Vucevic’s current stint on the COVID-19 list. They’ve still managed to keep the ship afloat however and are coming off a win Sunday night in Staples Center against the Clippers. Chicago returns to Staples Monday to take on the Lakers, and LaVine is a guy I’m drawn to on this large slate. He’s both guard and forward eligible and has usage rates of 32.2% and 37.1% in the two games without Vucevic. Teammate DeMar DeRozan is at the same 1.25x multiplier and shares similar upside, but I prefer LaVine between the two given his propensity for shooting more threes (SuperDraft does have a three-point bonus) and clear disparity in usage rate with Vucevic out (DeRozan is at 24.2% and 27.1% in the same two games).

Center
Jusuf Nurkic, Portland Trail Blazers (1.35x) – Putting Nurkic into your lineups will feel stronger if Damian Lillard is out, but there’s no denying that the matchup against a small (and physically thin) Toronto frontcourt is appetizing. Nurkic has never been a guy that gets a ton of minutes, and that’s been especially true this season where he’s only averaged 24.5 per game. But at his multiplier, the upside is certainly there for a big game. Both Precious Achiuwa (6-foot-8, 225 pounds) and Chris Boucher (6-9, 200) are questionable here, plus Pascal Siakam (6-9, 230) and Khem Birch (6-9, 233) don’t bring traditional center size to this frontcourt. Nurkic (6-11, 290) should be able to get whatever he wants on offense and gobble up rebounds on both ends of the floor. I have no issue if you want to roster someone else at center given the number of viable of options, but I like Nurkic if you need to get different in your lineup while maintaining that tournament-winning upside.
