Nikola Vucevic, C, Orlando Magic

Price: $9,900

Facing Anthony Davis, Nikola Vucevic has a better matchup than you might expect. With a 6th-ranked pace and 22nd-ranked defensive rating, the New Orleans Pelicans have allowed top-10 fantasy efficiency to opposing centers this year.

Vooch is no stranger to efficiency, either, ranking ninth in the NBA with 1.43 FanDuel points per minute on the year.

The Orlando Magic are only 4.5-point underdogs versus the Pels, limiting the blowout risk. There should be no shortage of minutes available for Vucevic, who, since January 1, is averaging 33.1 minutes per game in contests decided by 10 or fewer points, compared to only 28.8 in games decided by more than 10 points.

A full workload in a plus matchup should let Vucevic's upside shine.
