Nikola Jokic, PF, Denver Nuggets

FanDuel Price: $10,000

Outside of a foul-riddled game in which he played just 18 minutes, Nikola Jokic has maintained his elite level of production, averaging 21.3 points, 11.8 boards, 7 assists, and 44.1 FanDuel points over his past five games. With the Denver Nuggets and Charlotte Hornets set to square off in what is expected to be the second-highest scoring game on the slate (220.5-point over/under), Jokic should play a starring role.

He has played much better in projected shootouts this season, according to the RotoViz Game Splits App, averaging 12.2 more FanDuel points when the Nuggets have had an implied team total of at least 105 points. When there's an over/under of at least 220 points, Jokic has averaged 39.8 FanDuel points.

The Hornets have been susceptible to opposing bigs all season, currently ranking 13th in terms of FanDuel points allowed to opposing centers. If the game script holds up, the Joker should get the final laugh against Charlotte's soft interior defense.
