DraftKings DFS Prices Wembanyama Highest, Tatum Mid, Holiday Lowest for April 21 NBA Slate

Context DraftKings daily fantasy sports (DFS) contests assign each player a salary that counts toward a $50,000 cap per lineup. A slate is the set of games available for a given contest date. Higher salaries generally indicate higher projected fantasy points or lower availability.

Key Facts Victor Wembanyama’s $11,500 salary is $2,000 above Jayson Tatum’s $9,500 and $4,700 above Jrue Holiday’s $6,800. Tatum’s price is $2,700 higher than Holiday’s. These figures come from the DraftKings Network cheat sheet for Tuesday’s NBA playoffs slate.

What It Means Lineup builders must allocate a larger share of the salary cap to Wembanyama if they target his upside, reducing funds for other spots. Tatum offers a mid‑tier forward option that balances cost and projected output. Holiday’s lower price provides guard flexibility, enabling more spending on high‑value forwards or centers. Ownership projections will likely favor the lower‑priced Holiday unless injury news shifts expectations.

Watch for late‑breaking injury updates or lineup changes that could alter value ratios before lock.
