Anthony Davis, PF/C, New Orleans Pelicans

DraftKings Salary: $11,000

DeMarcus Cousins ($11,300), has been the best fantasy player in the NBA through the early part of the season, but in games he has shared the floor with Anthony Davis, the two big men have had nearly identical production. In the 11 games both have been healthy, Davis has averaged 58.5 DraftKings points, as opposed to 59 for Cousins.

With Cousins matched up against a solid defender in Dewayne Dedmon and Davis likely to spend much of his time against Luke Babbitt, the Brow clearly has the edge. Davis has a two-inch height advantage and six-inch wingspan advantage over Babbitt, and he should be able to get whatever he wants offensively. The Atlanta Hawks have struggled defensively, ranking 26th in defensive efficiency, and they rank dead last in rebounding rate. Both New Orleans Pelicans big men are in play, but Davis has the slight edge if picking just one.
