Beal is averaging 23.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.0 blocks through three games. He surpassed 34 DK points in each outing, including a 27-point performance in his last game. Beal has a favorable matchup against the Pistons' younger backcourt.

Saddiq Bey, Pistons 
($6,100) at Wizards
Bey is coming off an impressive double-double, with 20 points and 11 rebounds on his way to 42.3 DK points. He exceeded 39 DK points in the last two games and has a good chance to keep rolling with an advantage at his position against the Wizards.
Kyle Kuzma, Wizards ($6,900) vs. Pistons

Valanciunas is coming off a quieter outing, but he stuffed the stat sheet for 62.8 DK points in the game prior. The Pelicans' big man is averaging 17.0 points, 13.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists through three games. He should pick up a few extra touches on the offensive end without Brandon Ingram in the lineup.
