DeMarcus Cousins, C, Sacramento Kings

Price: $11,100

DeMarcus Cousins has been an absolute force in daily fantasy lately. He leads the league with 51.7 FanDuel points per game over the past month, while averaging 27.9 points, 12.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.1 steals per game in that span. He has played 36.2 minutes per game in the month, and his 35.4 percent Usage Rate is the highest among players averaging at least 10 minutes per game.

This game should be a fairly fast-paced one. The Bulls play at a Pace above league average, while the Kings lead the league in that category, so Cousins should see no shortage of opportunities against a banged-up Chicago frontcourt.

With Pau Gasol potentially out tonight, Cousins would be up against a Bulls team that is missing their two best players (the other being Joakim Noah) in terms of Total Rebound Rate. Always a threat to score big points with his crazy-high Usage Rate, Cousins is in an ideal spot.

Even with Gasol playing for most of the year, the Bulls have really struggled against opposing bigs and have allowed seventh-most fantasy points to both opposing power forwards and centers this season.
