Anthony Davis, PF/C, New Orleans Pelicans

DraftKings Price: $11,400

New Orleans Pelicans center Anthony Davis provided fantasy owners a week-long scare starting on Halloween. In a three-game stretch, he averaged just 40.2 DraftKings points per game, scoring no more than 45.5 in that span. His past four games, however, have proven that he's put that low-scoring nonsense behind him.

He's scored at least 58.5 DraftKings points in four straight games, a streak he'll look to continue tonight in a choice matchup against a New York Knicks team that has given up an average of 123.7 points in their past three games.

Davis is scoring 3.1 fewer points per game than he did last year, but he is more than making that up by averaging career highs in rebounds, assists (his 4.6 average is double his previous best), blocks, and steals. Perhaps the scariest improvement for his opponents is his three-point shooting percentage -- he is shooting 40% from deep. How do you defend that?

We have Davis projected for 54.8 DraftKings points tonight, the second-highest projected total of the evening.
