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. You can balance those plays out with some long shots that could score up to 2x their fantasy points to vault you to the top of the leaderboards.

With three games on Tuesday’s slate, let’s get into some of the Multiplier plays over on SuperDraft.
Guard
Donovan Mitchell, Utah Jazz (1.2x score multiplier) – Shorter slates on SuperDraft typically mean there are less opportunities to roster high-multiplier plays, and that’s the case Tuesday as of this writing. The Jazz are double-digit home favorites against the shorthanded 76ers, and Donovan Mitchell has (predictably) been leading the way for Utah early in the season. Mitchell currently holds a career-high 34.1% usage and has averaged 23.5 shot attempts over his last six games. Per our Advanced DvP tool at FTN Daily, the 76ers rank 27th in the league against primary ball handlers and crafty finishers, which are two of Mitchell’s three traits in the tool. With his multiplier sitting off the floor compared to some of the other high usage options on this slate, he profiles as one of my favorite plays on SuperDraft.
Tyrese Maxey, Philadelphia 76ers (1.55x) – This is purely a minutes play at an elevated multiplier. The outlook from a real basketball standpoint looks pretty bleak for Philadelphia against Utah here, but Maxey has been playing massive minutes, averaging over 41 minutes per game in his last six. We all know the old saying in daily fantasy NBA that minutes equal money, and on this slate I think that holds true with Maxey at his elevated multiplier. He’s actually been extremely efficient offensively through 14 games played, slashing 52/41/88 from the floor and possessing a 3.3:1 assist to turnover ratio. Those are the type of numbers that can survive a bit of a dip in a tough matchup against the Jazz and still look good at the end of a 40-minute night at an elevated multiplier.
Forward
Kevin Durant, Brooklyn Nets (1x) – Out of the four players on this slate who have a 1.05x or less multiplier, Durant stands out as my favorite. I talked about how efficient Tyrese Maxey has been this year; take a look at what Durant is doing for Brooklyn. A career 49.6% shooter from the floor, the wiry future Hall of Famer is shooting an astounding 58.6% on just under 19 attempts per game. He’s been nothing short of spectacular through the first 14 games of the season and I don’t see anyone on this Warriors team, despite their above average defense, who can stop him. In a nationally televised game against his former teammates, I want Durant in my lineup.
Tobias Harris, Philadelphia 76ers (1.25x) – Harris reportedly struggled with some COVID-19 symptoms a few weeks back, but if you just looked at his play since returning you wouldn’t know it. Fresh off a 32/11 double-double on the road against the Pacers, Harris will see a much tougher matchup against Royce O’Neale and the Jazz. Despite that, Harris holds a 32.1% usage rate without Joel Embiid on the floor this season, a figure that would be irresponsible to ignore on such a short slate. With his multiplier, Harris has a fantasy ceiling that rivals some of the other more well-known names on this slate and he’s an intriguing option at forward.

Center
Andre Drummond, Philadelphia 76ers (1.2x) – There are minimal options at center on this short slate, and as he has been for the last week and change, Drummond is my favorite. His 1.2x multiplier is equal to Rudy Gobert’s, who is on the other side of this matchup in Salt Lake City. That will be a big decision point that likely decides the outcomes of a lot of SuperDraft contests here, and I’m siding with the 76ers backup center. His minutes have hovered around 30 since Harris returned to the lineup, but with Gobert expected to be on the court a ton with Hassan Whiteside backing him up, I think Drummond’s minutes could shoot back up to the mid-to-high 30’s range. If that happens, we know he’s got 20/20 upside even in the tough matchup, and he’s always been a better fantasy producer on paper than Gobert, so give me Drummond at the center spot in one lineup.
