Nikola Vucevic, C, Orlando Magic

Price: $10,500

The Orlando Magic are only 3.5-point favorites against the Charlotte Hornets tonight, meaning we should be in for a close game. As I've talked about often in this piece, that makes Nikola Vucevic a great target in daily fantasy.

Vooch has averaged only 27.3 minutes per game over his last three, but each of those games were decided by at least 16 points. The eight games before that, though, were each decided by 13 points or fewer, and he averaged 33.1 minutes per game, topping 50 FanDuel points four times.

Ranking eighth in the NBA with 1.44 FanDuel points per minute, he's even got some upside when his minutes are cut short by blowouts, as he showed with 55.9 FanDuel points in only 26.9 minutes last game.

The Hornets allow the slate's highest fantasy efficiency to opposing centers (and the sixth-highest in the NBA), so Vucevic shouldn't have any issues converting a big workload into production tonight.
