Nikola Jokic, C, Denver Nuggets

Price: $9,500

Nikola Jokic is coming off a down game, but he also posted marks of 68.4, 51.4 and 54.5 FanDuel points in his three games before that. The down game had nothing to do with the way he was producing (averaging 1.50 FanDuel points per minute), but came because Jokic was only asked to play 24 minutes, as the Denver Nuggets cruised to a 33-point win over the Chicago Bulls.

Outside of that game, the big man's minutes have been way up lately, having played at least 35 minutes (in regulation) in the three games leading up to the Nuggets' blowout win.

The Washington Wizards aren't an especially stellar matchup, but Jokic is a very efficient producer (averaging 1.33 FanDuel points per minute on the year), and the upside that comes from combining that efficiency with a big workload is ripe for the picking at his price tag tonight. Even if the matchup does cause a dip in his per-minute production, the floor is there.
