Tuesday’s five-game DraftKings NBA DFS main slate tips off at 7:30 p.m. ET, with Orlando continuing to operate without Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs. Tyler Herro is listed as Questionable. Those absences and potential rotation changes put several affordable options in play, including these three options.

PG/SG Anthony Black, Orlando Magic at Sacramento Kings ($6,900)
Black’s price has gone up, but I’m still a fan of his potential production tonight at his price point. He’s averaging 15.7 PPG, 5.7 RPG, and 5.2 APG this season, and his output has taken another step forward with Jalen Suggs sidelined. He’s logged at least 31 minutes in four straight games, with 7.3 RPG, 6.3 APG, 1.8 SPG, and 1.0 BPG over that stretch. This type of versatility is tough to find, and he’s posted at least 40 FPTS in three out of these four games.
His ability to stuff the stat sheet in every category gives him a fairly safe DFS floor tonight, especially since he’ll be going up against the 29th ranked defense in Sacramento. Black will have an inviting matchup against the Kings and should be in a good spot to reproduce what he’s been doing lately, especially while Orlando is still without Suggs and Banchero.
PG/SG Brayden Burries, Milwaukee Bucks at New York Knicks ($4,800)
The former Wildcat was selected tenth overall in the 2026 Draft by the Bucks, and he’s already forcing Taylor Jenkins’ hand with his play. Burries is now starting for the Bucks and soaking up Ryan Rollins’ minutes. Burries just delivered 21 points, 11 boards, six dimes, and a block in 38 minutes against Toronto on Friday, then followed that up with 13 points, eight boards, four dimes, and a block in 29 minutes against the Celtics on Sunday, good for 48.25 and 31 FPTS, respectively. It’s also encouraging to see Burries maintain high minutes even with Herro playing on Sunday.
Burries won’t need the backcourt to himself in order to produce, but it certainly helps. Herro is Questionable to suit up tonight, and even though Burries likely won’t log 38 minutes like he did against the Raptors, he’s cheap enough that we shouldn’t really care.
PF Kyle Kuzma, Milwaukee Bucks at New York Knicks ($4,600)
Kuz put up six triples on Sunday, but that’s not representative of his season as a whole. He’s averaging only 11.6 PPG, 5.8 RPG, and 2.7 APG, with 25.5 FPTS. You’re mostly getting what you pay for with Kuzma, but he’s got some upside, as we saw in his last game against the Celtics. Kuzma put up 27 points, four boards, and three stocks against the Celtics in 31 minutes, which is good for 40.5 FPTS. It’s encouraging to see him get 17 shots, even if that’s unlikely to be the norm moving forward.
If Herro sits, some of his shots could get distributed to Kuzma’s direction, and like Burries, he’s cheap enough that we’re okay with some potential upside in this spot even if the floor is quite low.
