DeMar DeRozan, SG, Toronto Raptors

Price: $9,600

Kyle Lowry (tailbone) is unlikely to play on Tuesday night for Toronto, and that means we can feel really good about loading up on DeMar DeRozan.

We only have a one-game sample of DeRozan playing without Lowry this year, but the duo has been together in Toronto for years. Over the last three seasons, DeRozan has seen his fantasy production jump 9% in his 27 games without Lowry compared to the 194 the two have played together.

Of course, numbers from the 2015-16 season aren't something that should have a huge influence on your decisions tonight, but looking at DeRozan's numbers in his 232 minutes played with Lowry off the court this season also inspire a ton of confidence. He has jumped from a 28.1% usage rate and 1.11 FanDuel points per minute with Lowry on the floor to a massive 41.9% usage rate and 1.38 FanDuel points per minute with Lowry off the court.

The Cleveland Cavaliers rank only 29th in defensive rating and have allowed top-10 fantasy production to shooting guards this season, so DeRozan should have no trouble converting his volume into fantasy production tonight.
