Anthony Davis, PF, New Orleans Pelicans

Price: $10,200

While Anthony Davis spent much of the first half of the season frustrating fantasy players, he's been back to his old ways lately, and he ranks second in the league with 49.7 FanDuel points per game over the last month, while averaging 28.0 points and 12.2 rebounds per game.

The Blazers aren't a bad team on the interior, but Mason Plumlee hasn't been playing his best basketball lately, and his 15.2 percent Total Rebound Rate in March is well below his season average, while Anthony Davis has been very solid with a 17.4 percent rate in March.

Whlie Davis is listed at power forward, NylonCalculus estimates that he has played over half of his minutes at center this season, and Portland is giving up the sixth-most fantasy points to centers on the season.

The Pelicans will be hosting the Blazers on the second half of a back-to-back for Portland, which adds some extra appeal to Davis here. This matchup isn't the walk-in-the-park type that Westbrook and Harden have, but it's a very exploitable matchup for Davis, and we can expect big time fantasy production tonight.
