Nikola Vucevic, C, Orlando Magic

Price: $10,200

Something I touched on a lot earlier in the season (though not so much recently) is the difference we see in Nikola Vucevic's numbers in blowouts versus close games.

The Orlando Magic have seen two of their last three games decided by at least 20 points, and Vooch didn't play even 27 minutes in either of the two. The other four of his last six games, though, each saw him top 34 minutes, averaging 51.4 FanDuel points per game.

He ranks ninth in the NBA with 1.46 FanDuel points per minute this season, and he's a huge threat for big fantasy numbers when he's getting enough run.

There is some blowout risk tonight, as the Magic are favored by 8.0 against the Memphis Grizzlies, but an 8-point spread is far from a guarantee for a blowout. There's a good chance we see his minutes bounce back into the mid-30s tonight, which is enough for solid value at this price.
