Anthony Davis, PF, New Orleans Pelicans

Price: $12,500

Anthony Davis went off for 69.1 FanDuel points in a matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies and their sixth-ranked defensive rating on Monday. He draws a much softer matchup tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but his price tag hasn't budged from where it was on Monday, leaving him as only the second-highest priced player on the slate once again.

Davis remains easily the league's top fantasy producer, averaging 62.3 FanDuel points per game on the year while nobody else is averaging more than 55.8. He has at least 60 FanDuel points in 23 games, while the next-best mark is only 10.

Yes, James Harden ($12,600) is on fire with 64.8 FanDuel points per game over his last 13, but Davis even has him beat in recent production, averaging 66.3 per game over his last 12.

The Cavs rank dead-last in defensive rating and own a bottom-10 rebound rate, and while there is some blowout risk with the New Orleans Pelicans sitting as 14-point favorites, Davis' floor and ceiling are still strong enough to make him Wednesday's top play in all formats.
