Nikola Vucevic, C, Orlando Magic

DraftKings Price: $9,200

Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. Peanut butter and chocolate. Nikola Vucevic playing the Philadelphia 76ers. Some matchups in life are simply perfect.

If you look at the Orlando Magic center's history against the Sixers, it's littered with games of 50-plus DraftKings points. This year has been no exception.

Vooch put up a 27-point, 13-board, 12-assist masterpiece when the teams met on October 20 and followed it up with a 30-point, 8-board, 4-dime gem, resulting in 70.75 and 51.0 DraftKings points, respectively, in those outings. Those games came with Joel Embiid's presence down low, something the Sixers won't have the luxury of tonight.

Vucevic has gotten better with the turn of the calendar to 2019. He averaged just 44.0 DraftKings points in October, but he put up 47.9 and 48.1 in January and February, respectively, and is off to another hot start in March. Our models expect his solid run to continue, projecting him for 47.8 DraftKings points tonight.
