Rudy Gobert, C, Utah Jazz

FanDuel Price: $8,700

No Utah Jazz player has benefited more from the additional usage and playing time for the banged-up Jazz squad than Rudy Gobert. The Stifle Tower has been putting up ridiculous numbers recently, averaging 22 points, 15 rebounds, 4.2 blocks, and 49.6 FanDuel points over his past five games.

It's not often that the slow-paced Jazz find themselves in favorable game scripts, but their implied team total of 103.5 points is the fourth-highest on the slate and nearly four points above their season scoring average. Gobert has averaged 36.3 FanDuel points in games with an implied team total above 100 points, as opposed to 32.4 in all other games this season.

The New Orleans Pelicans have improved against opposing centers since the acquisition of DeMarcus Cousins, but the Boogie Man is questionable tonight, which in addition to making things easier for Gobert, would lower his risk of getting in foul trouble.

Gobert is impossible to ignore with the way he has been playing recently. Be sure to keep an eye on the injury report leading up to tipoff -- if both Gordon Hayward and Cousins sit out, Gobert has a clear path to success and should be given serious consideration in all formats.
