You want to talk about efficient fantasy play? Let me present to you with new Portland Trail Blazers center Enes Kanter.

After languishing for months as David Fizdale's pawn in the New York Knicks' tanking game, Kanter has finally been able to show his offensive firepower since moving to the Blazers less than two weeks ago. Though he's played an average of just 20 minutes per game off the bench in his first two games, he's put up starter's numbers. He opened his Portland career with 18 points and 9 boards against the Brooklyn Nets, following that up with a 16-point, 8-board, 4-dime performance in a resounding win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

He should have no trouble continuing his success tonight as the Blazers walk into a game with the 14-46 Cavs. The Blazers are currently nine-point favorites, and there is a legitimate chance that they could pull away from the Cavs, which would allow Kanter more minutes than usual down the stretch. Even if he only gets his normal 20 minutes of run, however, he's a solid bet to continue putting up strong numbers and belongs in consideration tonight.
