Blake Griffin, PF, Los Angeles Clippers

FanDuel Price: $9,000

While the Dallas Mavericks haven't been a great team to target players against in fantasy this season (they're allowing bottom-10 fantasy production to power forwards), they have been a good matchup for frontcourt players recently. On a day where our options at the top end of the pricing spectrum are pretty limited, that puts Blake Griffin firmly in play.

Over the past month, only one team has posted a worse rebound rate than the Mavericks' 47.3%, and they have been especially bad on the offensive glass, ranking dead last. That lines up nicely with Griffin's numbers -- he excels on the defensive glass (with an 18.9% defensive rebound rate since the All-Star break) but doesn't do much damage on the offensive boards (5.8%).

Griffin also offers plenty of fantasy upside on the offensive end, averaging 20.0 points and 5.3 assists per game with a 25.9% usage rate and 24.1% assist rate in March.
