Blake Griffin, PF, Detroit Pistons

Price: $9,100

Blake Griffin has immediately stepped into a big role in Detroit, playing 35.3 and 36.3 minutes in his two games, and posting usage rates of 24.3% and 28.9% while tallying his usual well-rounded numbers elsewhere (19 total rebounds and 12 total assists).

While the Portland defense has been fairly solid this season, that hasn't been the case recently, ranking only 25th with a 108.9 defensive rating over the past month. That makes a usually tough matchup a lot more appealing tonight.

We haven't seen Griffin's fantasy efficiency change much as a Piston (averaging 1.21 FanDuel points per minute compared to 1.19 with the Los Angeles Clippers this year), and with his solid usage and significant minutes, it looks like we can count on him to keep posting strong numbers.
