First Draft Kings NBA DFS player I am locking in for 1/2/2017

Granted, it is early.    My teams will, and should, change quite a few times before roster locks as I am sure there will be players ruled -OUT- thus adding value in other spots.

If you didn't know, Draft Kings is offering a tournament tonight with a $4 entry fee and a 1st place prize of $150,000.

Now would be a good time to get over there and sign-up.  If you're already playing, comment with your username and I'll following along to see how you're doing.

I figure it is never too early to start researching, so I will take a moment and share with you my first pick of the night.

C: Rudy Gobert - Utah Jazz

There are so many mega-stars playing tonight and any time Anthony Davis is on the card, he will be one of the first person people look to at the center position.

I will likely be pivoting to Gobert, who finds himself in a pretty good spot.

The Jazz will be on the road on Monday as they face the Brooklyn Nets.

George Hill will be out Monday after taking a shot to the face in Utah's previous game, thus freeing up some shots for other players on the Jazz.

Gobert has been a double-double machine in the last month and, on Draft Kings, this is important due to the 1.5 pt bonus you receive for this feat.

Brook Lopez is a very solid offensive player, but his defense leaves a lot to be desired.

The Brooklyn Nets currently rank 30th in DEF vs the Center position, allowing a league high 55.57 FFPs per game on average.

At $7,400, Rudy finds himself as a solid second tier building block on your cash teams, and a potential low-owned pivot for your tournaments who could easily  get you 5x value tonight.
