Nikola Vucevic, C, Orlando Magic

DraftKings Price: $8,700

Mr. Joel Embiid was supposed to be on this slide. After writing him up (that sounds like he just got an infraction for being two minutes late to work), he was ruled out. That's great news for value hunters as Mike Muscala now becomes a near must-play, but it means we need to look for another stud.

When all else fails, we can always fall back on Mr. Reliable himself, Nikola Vucevic. The Orlando Magic center could be a fixture of this article every time he plays.

To say he's having a career year would be to insult his talent. He's blowing away his old numbers, and if he's not on the All-Star team this year, then you'll need to get on the horn to the cops and report a theft.

Vooch is averaging 21.0 points, 11.4 boards, 3.8 assists, and a remarkable 41.3% from deep. For a guy who only had seven combined threes in the first five years of his career that last number is rather remarkable.

We project Vooch to go off tonight, having him down for 46.1 DraftKings points. If you want a reliable play, he's your guy.
