Enes Kanter, PF/C, New York Knicks

DraftKings Salary: $7,600

Enes Kanter's price is creeping up to a point that we are unfamiliar with, but given the way he has performed with Kristaps Porzingis off the court, it may be time to get used to it. Kanter has averaged 42 DraftKings points in four games since KP went down and appears to be a near-lock for a double-double going forward.

He shouldn't have any trouble keeping the good times rolling tonight, as he takes on an Orlando Magic squad that has allowed the fifth-most DraftKings points per game to opposing centers. Orlando will get Nikola Vucevic back tonight, and his return to the starting lineup is not just great news for Magic fans, but Kanter as well. Kanter has scored 28 total points in two games against Orlando this season, all of which came with Vucevic defending him. He shot a quite nice 69% when being defended by Vucevic, so he should be able to take advantage of the matchup again tonight.

Orlando also ranks 29th in rebounding rate and is dead last in defensive rebounding rate, so expect Kanter, who ranks third in offensive rebounding rate, to dominate the glass tonight. He is an exciting target in any format in a matchup that he has the ability to dominate.
