Cody Zeller, C, Charlotte Hornets

DraftKings Price: $4,000

Like Evan Turner, Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller has been quietly returning solid daily fantasy value all season. He isn't flashy, and he doesn't score 50 points per game (his career high is 23). Yet, he does enough across the board to make him fantasy relevant at his bottom-tier price.

Zeller has scored in double figures in four straight games and in five of his past six. He's hitting 61.% from the field (a career high), and he's a perfect 16-16 from the charity stripe, making him one of only five qualified players to not yet miss.

He's returned at least 5.0 DraftKings points per $1,000 in each of his past four games and in six of his eight games. He should have plenty of opportunity to meet or exceed that type of output in tonight's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, one which has a total set at 231.0 points.

We have him projected for 22.5 DraftKings points tonight, which equates to a value of 5.6 points per $1,000, the third-highest projected value for centers on the slate.
