Andre Drummond, C, Detroit Pistons

Price: $10,500

The addition of Blake Griffin has taken some pressure off Andre Drummond in the Detroit frontcourt and has given his fantasy value a solid boost.

Before the addition of Griffin, Drummond averaged 45.2 FanDuel points per game while sporting a 21.7% usage rate and 25.6% total rebound rate. With Blake, his rebound and usage rates have gone up, to 27.4% and 23.6%, respectively, and he's averaging 49.8 FanDuel points per game.

He has gone off for 60-plus FanDuel points 3 times in his 12 games in that stretch, compared to only 4 times in his 47 games before Griffin arrived.

He should have no trouble keeping that roll going against Orlando tonight. The Magic have played at a top-10 pace this season, and they've been pretty brutal in the frontcourt. They rank 29th in rebounding rate at 47.6%, they allow the league's 8th-most blocks per game to opponents, and they have given up the 6th-highest field goal percentage in the restricted area.

A dominant rebounder who has seen 73% of his field goal attempts come from the restricted area this season, Drummond offers both a high floor and elite upside tonight.
