Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

Price: $8,500

The Portland/Sacramento game tonight is a great matchup for fantasy purposes, especially if you're targeting Portland players. Sacramento plays at the league's fastest Pace, meaning the Blazers' players will see a few more possessions than they usually do. Sacramento also ranks 21st in Defensive Efficiency and is allowing the fourth-highest Effective Field Goal Percentage to opponents.

Enter Damian Lillard. The Kings are giving up the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing point guards, and Lillard is one of the best fantasy point guards in the league. He's posting a very high 31.9 percent Usage Rate in the month of March, the fourth-highest among all players averaging at least 10 minutes per game. He's also averaging 21.6 points, 6.2 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game, good for 34.4 FanDuel points.

Our projections have Lillard putting up the fifth-highest fantasy total on the slate, but this kind of fast-paced matchup against a weak defensive team gives him immense upside tonight.
