Derrick Favors, PF/C, Utah Jazz

DraftKings Price: $4,400

Utah Jazz power forward Derrick Favors is rarely going to wow you, either by his on-court work or his fantasy output. He's goes in, gets his work done, and that's that.

His matchup tonight isn't particularly enticing. He faces a Toronto Raptors defense that is giving up the ninth-fewest DraftKings points per game to opposing fours, according to FantasyPros. Yet, that could actually work to his favor tonight in terms of minutes played as the Jazz will need big bodies on the floor to stop Serge Ibaka, who is off to one of the best starts of his career.

Favors is averaging just 22.0 minutes per game this season, but he's played at least 26 minutes in 10 of his past 11 versus Toronto. He's scored at least 21 DraftKings points in those 10 games and at least 27.25 in 8 of those 10.

We project him for 21.0 DraftKings points tonight with upside for just over 38.0.
