Anthony Davis, C, New Orleans Pelicans

Price: $11,800

Projected to tally 56.6 FanDuel points, Anthony Davis is our top overall play on the board tonight -- and for good reason.

In his last eight games without DeMarcus Cousins, the Brow has taken his game to the next level. He's turned 37.5 minutes a game into 57.3 FanDuel points on a 34.2% usage rate. According to NBA.com, that ranks third among all players to average 25 or more minutes over that span.

Davis has the minutes, usage, and the matchup is nearly as good, too. While the Los Angeles Lakers are 18th against centers, they've given up 110.6 points per 100 possessions when Larry Nance Jr. -- now in Cleveland -- has been off the floor. Compared to Nance -- who ranks 12th among power forwards in ESPN's Defensive Real Plus-Minus -- Julius Randle and Kyle Kuzma are 69th and 92nd, respectively.

If that wasn't enticing enough, Davis dropped 66.9 FanDuel points and a monster double-double in 39 minutes the last time these two teams met. He certainly has the ability to match that as his New Orleans Pelicans own the highest implied total (117.5) on Wednesday's slate.
