Paul George, SF, Indiana Pacers

Price: $8,800

Paul George has cooled down since his hot start to the season, but he has been back in solid form lately and, during the past month, is averaging 22.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.4 assists, good for 38.9 FanDuel points per game. The Pacers' offense is largely running through him, and he has a 29.0 percent Usage Rate in that span.

He's against the Hornets tonight, and while Charlotte has been fairly solid on the defensive end this season, in the 49 games they've played without Michael Kidd-Gilchrist in the lineup, they have a 105.5 Defensive Efficiency. They are also the weakest against the forward position and are giving up the 11th most fantasy points to opposing small forwards and the 7th most to power forwards.

George is posting a 19.0 percent Defensive Rebound Rate this season, the second-highest of his career, and matches up well with the Hornets, who rank 27th in Offensive Rebound Rate. With a lot of room for success on the glass and playing such a huge role in the Pacers' offense, he's got truly elite upside tonight.
