Anthony Davis, PF/C, New Orleans Pelicans

DraftKings Price: $11,300

The two most expensive players on Monday night's slate will be facing off when the New Orleans Pelicans travel to face the Oklahoma City Thunder. Both deserve a chance to anchor your team this evening.

Pelicans center Anthony Davis comes into tonight's game with a few questions. He's been battling an elbow injury and has missed three of his past five games. The two games he did play weren't great from a fantasy perspective, either, as he finished with just 44.0 and 45.5 DraftKings points in them, respectively.

Despite the dip, Davis still leads the league with an average of 58.0 DraftKings points per game this season. And assuming he suits up, tonight's game should offer plenty of opportunity for him to get back on track. The total is set at 238.0 points, the highest on the slate and third-highest of the season so far.

Not counting a January 25, 2017 game in which he only played 16 minutes and left the game early due to a right thigh bruise, Davis has scored at least 50.5 DraftKings points in seven straight games against OKC. He's scored at least 60.0 DraftKings points in four of those seven.

We project him for 55.6 DraftKings points tonight, which ranks second on the slate to the guy you'll find on the next slide.
