DeMarcus Cousins, C, Sacramento Kings

Price: $10,700

Night in and night out, DeMarcus Cousins is one of the most productive fantasy performers in the league. He ranks third this season in fantasy scoring, and over the past month, he is averaging 27.5 points, 11.9 rebounds and 4.2 assists, good for 48.7 FanDuel points per game. No other center's production is even within five fantasy points per game of Cousins' this season.

His matchup tonight is one of the best you could ask for, a New Orleans team that is giving up the second-most fantasy points to opposing centers. They rank 25th with a 108.6 Defensive Efficiency and 25th in Offensive Rebound Rate. They are also allowing the 7th-most points and 10th-most rebounds per game this season.

There are going to be plenty of possessions for Cousins to work with in this game with the Kings ranking 1st and the Pelicans 11th in Pace, and with a massive 36.1 percent Usage Rate over the past month, that should translate to a ton of opportunities for fantasy scoring.

Our projections have Cousins putting up the second most fantasy points of the night, but it would be no surprise at all if he ended up with the highest fantasy score.
