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 10 games on Monday’s slate, let’s get into some of the Multiplier plays over on SuperDraft.
Guard
LaMelo Ball, Charlotte Hornets (1.2x score multiplier) – After some early-season concerns about his minutes load, the Hornets’ second-year point guard has been outstanding from a fantasy perspective over the last two weeks. It took 11 games for coach James Borrego to give Ball more than 34 minutes in a game, but it’s been a noticeable change in approach since. Ball is averaging nearly 37 minutes per game over the Hornets last seven and the production has risen along with the minutes. In that span he’s averaging 18 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists per game while shooting just 38/35/90. Clearly there’s a higher ceiling for his shooting efficiency and with his multiplier still sitting comfortably above the floor I have a lot of interest in rostering Ball against the Wizards.
Donovan Mitchell, Utah Jazz (1.2x) – This 1.2x range is pretty loaded on this slate, but Mitchell stands out in the game with the highest total on the night. The man they call Spider is maintaining his massive 34.4% usage rate while shooting well below his career average from three. Memphis has been one of the best teams to attack this season as the Griz are giving up a league high 114.7 points per game. Specifically for our interest in Mitchell, who is shooting six percentage points worse from three this season than last, Memphis is giving up not just a league high in points per game to opposing teams but also a league-worst 40.2% to opponents from beyond the arc. I expect those numbers to improve once Dillon Brooks is fully integrated back into the Memphis rotation, but he’s doubtful with a hamstring injury so I have no concerns about anyone slowing down Mitchell but himself.
Forward
Zach LaVine, Chicago Bulls (1.25x) – As of Sunday, Chicago was still waiting on Nikola Vucevic to return two negative COVID-19 tests so he could be activated from the health and safety protocols. I assume he will remain out for this game, once again opening the door for LaVine to be an intriguing play at his multiplier. LaVine has averaged more than 22.5 shot attempts per game over his last five, and despite a poor shooting performance against the Knicks Sunday is averaging 28.4 points per game over that span. With the peripherals remaining solid and the three-point bonus on SuperDraft (LaVine shoots over seven threes a game), I like getting to LaVine at his multiplier. With teammate DeMar DeRozan also still boasting a 1.25x multiplier I have no issue if you prefer DeRozan, who projects similarly. One of the two has been outstanding from a fantasy perspective every game Vucevic has missed.
Bobby Portis, Milwaukee Bucks (1.55x) – With Brook Lopez on the mend but still reportedly multiple games away from returning, we have another opportunity to roster Portis at his elevated multiplier. He’s been his normal productive self this season, putting up well over a fantasy point per minute on average. With the Magic coming to town, the Bucks will have to matchup with the Mo Bamba and Wendell Carter frontcourt, which should mean solidified and maybe even an elevated Portis minutes load. At this 1.55x multiplier, Portis feels like one of the top plays on the slate at SuperDraft.

Center
Karl-Anthony Towns, Minnesota Timberwolves (1x) – The Wolves have not been an above-average team by any means this season, but a matchup with the Pelicans can make any team look like a contender. Minnesota sits at 7-9 but they are 3.5-point road favorite here in New Orleans. These two teams have met twice already this season and the Pelicans have had absolutely no answer for Towns. While Jonas Valanciunas is a lot to handle on both ends of the floor, he struggles with more versatile bigs like Towns, evidenced by the 28.5 points, 9 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.5 stocks per game that he’s given up to Towns in their two meetings. 40% of KAT’s shot attempts are from three, further raising his floor/ceiling combo on a site like SuperDraft where we get the three-point bonus. With his multiplier still sitting slightly off the floor, I have a lot of interest in the safety Towns gives lineups at the center position, especially if you’re taking some lower-owned risks at guard or forward in tournaments.
