With the day's highest price-tag, Anthony Davis offers huge upside against the Clippers.

DraftKings Price: $11,400

Go big or go home. New Orleans Pelicans superstar Anthony Davis is the most expensive player on tonight's three-game slate. While you can certainly pass on him to try and get some differential into your lineups, he's likely going to make you regret that decision.

Davis has topped 50 DraftKings points in each of his past four contests against the Los Angeles Clippers, tonight's visiting opponent. That includes a 60.75-point performance last January and a massive 75.75-point performance on March 6.

He started this year with an incredible 77.0 DraftKings point performance against the Houston Rockets, which he followed up by scoring 54.5 in just 27 minutes in a 149-129 win over the Sacramento Kings. While he may not be able to keep up a 1.99-DraftKings-point-per-minute pace for the entire season, it's hard to lay that notion to rest.

Perhaps the most impressive part of Davis' start is his 14 assists through two games. He had six assists or more in a game just twice all last season. He's already done it twice this year.

We project him for 61.3 DraftKings points tonight. That equates to a projected value of 5.4 points per $1,000, the highest mark for anybody priced above $6,100.
