Nikola Vucevic, C, Orlando Magic

DraftKings Salary: $8,300

Nikola Vucevic has enjoyed perhaps the strongest early-season breakout of any stud, averaging 52.2 DrafKings points through his first three games.

There are some signs that his early play is perhaps a bit unsustainable, such as his 68% field goal percentage and 50% mark from behind the arc. While Vuc has always been an efficient player and has a nice stroke from deep, it will be very hard for him to keep scoring at this rate with just a 26.1% usage rate.

He is likely going to slow down in the near future, but it may not be this game against the Brooklyn Nets. He averaged 47.1 DraftKings points against them last season and dropped 63 on them last week. Starting centers not named Dewayne Dedmon have averaged 57 DraftKings points against Brooklyn this season, and Vucevic only needs 41.5 to reach value. He is a terrific play in all formats.
