DeMarcus Cousins, C, Sacramento Kings

FanDuel Price: $11,00

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

DeMarcus Cousins is the fourth-most expensive player on the slate, which features 11 games.

There are plenty of options to pick from, and with guys like Karl-Anthony Towns ($10,200) and Andre Drummond ($8,500) in potentially good spots against the Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers, respectively, Boogie could be overlooked given his price. Plus, Willy Hernangomez ($5,300) draws the Los Angeles Lakers.

Those three guys have some of the best matchups based on fantasy points allowed to centers on a per-48-minute basis, so Cousins' tilt against the Chicago Bulls looks to be enough to avoid him.

Why You Should Use Him:

The Bulls allow 44.39 fantasy points per 48 minutes to centers this year, a beatable matchup for a player such as Cousins. Cousins has maintained a usage rate of 40.5% and 1.16 FanDuel points per minute without Rudy Gay on the floor this season, per NBAWowy.

They also allow 30.9% of field goal attempts to come from within three feet of the hoop, the sixth-highest rate in the NBA. The case can be made easily for Towns, Drummond, and Hernangomez tonight, and that makes Cousins -- our second-highest projected scorer -- a great tournament option tonight.

If Cousins starts to get serious buzz by tip off, don't overlook Marc Gasol ($8,900) against the San Antonio Spurs if you're looking for a low-owned tournament center -- or Myles Turner ($6,500) against the Oklahoma City Thunder if spending down.
