Here are your top Draft Kings picks for the Weekend Contests
Top Budget Plays
Centers
Matt Stajan $2,900 –This is ugly because no one knows the time of the game but Sunday will have at least one game on the slate and possibly two. Stay tuned there. Stajan will still be a good value for our weekend schedule because of his stagnant price and decent ice time. He gets a couple points or maybe three and that is pretty good value. It will be tough sledding in Anaheim but Stajan has had some success there in his career.
Wingers
Brandon Prust $2,600 –With risks galore, Prust had a very solid Game 4 and though the refs may be targeting him allegedly, the winger responded with one of his best games of the playoffs. That is what makes it fun about the second season, You never know where the production may come from. Those bottom-six players sometimes can really surprise you. He will not want his season to end at home. Prust is just one of those types of players.
Defensemen
Alexei Emelin $2,800– The values at $3,000 or under just dwindle honestly at this point in the playoffs. Actual offense is probably rare, but a few blocked shots and maybe a shot or two on net is about the best one can expect here. It is very slim pickings, as we said, but Emelin is at least at home and that has to count for something. Obviously, he is cheap and that will allow you to spend in other places.
