Wesley Matthews, SG/SF, Indiana Pacers

DraftKings Price: $4,100

One of the main reasons Wesley Matthews decided to join the Indiana Pacers was that coach Nate McMillan promised him a spot in the starting lineup. Not only was Matthews' wish fulfilled, he's become an even more integral part of his new team than he was with the Dallas Mavericks earlier this season.

Matthews has seen his playing time increase from 29.7 in Dallas to 32.2 minutes with Indiana, and, with it, his DraftKings output has increased from 21.6 to 23.5 points. While those numbers aren't eye-popping, what's noticeable is the consistency with which he's been putting up those fantasy points.

After taking a couple of games to adjust to his new teammates, Matthews has scored at least 12 real-world points and more than 20.0 DraftKings points in six straight contests. One of the biggest reasons for his boost in production has been his three-point shot; he's hit 21-of-47 shots from deep in this six-game stretch, a 44.7% clip.

Despite his recent success, his price has fallen from $4,800 on February 22 to just $4,100 tonight. It's a great time to pounce, especially against a Chicago Bulls team he's scored more than 30.0 DraftKings points against in three of his past five meetings. We currently project him for 22.1 DraftKings points tonight.
