Hassan Whiteside, C, Miami Heat

FanDuel Price: $9,200

The Brooklyn Nets are a gift to the fantasy basketball world. They can't defend (ranking in the bottom five in defensive rating), can't rebound (ranking in the bottom five in both offensive and defensive rebound rate), and are determined to play terrible basketball as quickly as possible, leading the league in pace. This has them allowing the most fantasy points per game to opponents at four different positions, including center.

Hassan Whiteside's production hasn't been overly impressive recently, averaging 35.4 FanDuel points per game over his last seven games, but there's still plenty of room for optimism there. He's averaging 32.4 minutes per game with a 22.0% usage rate in that span -- marks that aren't far from his season averages. He also has a 23.6% rebound rate in that stretch, which is slightly above his average for the season.

This Brooklyn matchup is as good as spot as you're going to get, and Whiteside has tremendous upside here.
