Marvin Williams, PF, Charlotte Hornets

FanDuel Price: $4,600
Projected FanDuel Points: 20.4
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.43

Again, this one should be high-scoring, so even if you're not rolling out the high-priced studs, the other guys could be in for increased fantasy goodness. We already got a couple guys on the wing. Naturally, it's fitting that we get one of the Hornets' frontcourt guys in the mix.

On the year, Marvin Williams is posting an uninspiring 19.1 FanDuel points in 25.9 minutes a game. Recently, though, he's been a little more active, with five games of 12 points or more and three of at least 26.5 FanDuel points in his last seven. Over that same span, he's played fewer than 26.8 minutes just once -- and that was in a 24-point blowout of the Washington Wizards.

The minutes are there and Williams will be needed tonight as much as ever. With Anthony Davis looking to dominate inside-and-out, Williams' versatility gives Charlotte the best chance at slowing down the freak of basketball nature that is The Brow. And, beyond that, New Orleans has proven to be vulnerable to power forwards -- they've allowed 47.6 FanDuel points per 48 minutes, which ranks 29th on the year.
