Hassan Whiteside, C, Miami Heat

FanDuel Price: $9,300

Hassan Whiteside's 41.2 FanDuel points per game this season are the second-most among centers. Getting him in a matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers, who have allowed the league's second-most fantasy points per game to centers, should already have you interested.

Whiteside's 14.8 rebounds per game are the most in the league (and 1.2 higher than anyone else), and he has 15-plus rebounds in 16 games. He offers elite rebounding upside on a nightly basis.

What makes tonight's matchup especially appealing though, is the potential he has to do damage on the offensive end -- giving him even more upside than he usually has. The Lakers are allowing opponents to shoot a league-high 69.7% from within 3 feet of the basket (a full 2% higher than anyone else and 7.3% higher than the league average), which is where 44.4% of Whiteside's field goal attempts have come from this season.
