Ben Simmons, PF, Philadelphia 76ers

Price: $9,900

Ben Simmons had his fair share of down games this year, but he is already a legitimate fantasy stud.

He has topped 45 FanDuel points in 10 of his last 15 games (the fifth-most in the NBA in that time), and he's averaging a very well-rounded 17.1 points, 8.7 rebounds, 8.1 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks (45.7 FanDuel points) in 38.8 minutes per game in that span. That combination of big playing time and a strong fantasy point-per-minute average gives him huge upside night in and night out.

The Sacramento Kings are a great matchup for a guy who posts well-rounded numbers like Simmons does. The Kings are allowing top-12 marks in all of assists, rebounds and steals per game, while also boasting the NBA's worst defensive rating.
