Rudy Gobert, C, Utah Jazz

DraftKings Price: $8,200

If we had looked at tonight's matchup between the Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns a week ago, we'd probably be talking about how the Jazz were in for a cakewalk victory over arguably the worst team in the league. The Suns, however, have decided to turn things on their head and start playing competitive basketball.

Not only have the Suns won five of their past seven games, but they've taken down both the East-leading Milwaukee Bucks and West-leading Warriors in the process. The latter was even more impressive considering it came in Oakland; the Suns were just 5-29 on the road before that win.

This is all to say that the Jazz are going to have their hands full tonight, which means that center Rudy Gobert is likely going to have to play a full game. He should feast against a team who is giving up the third-most DraftKings points per game to opposing centers this year.

He scored 47.5 DraftKings points when the teams met in early February, nearly identical tot he 47.75 he scored against them in their previous meeting. We have him projected for 42.9 DraftKings points tonight, a return of just over 5.2 points per $1,000.
