Paul Millsap, PF, Atlanta Hawks

FanDuel Price: $8,100

Today is a little bit thin as far as high-priced options go, and while Paul Millsap is a strong play, he's not on the tier of Cousins or Paul. On the plus side, his salary reflects that, and you get over $1,000 of savings from those two.

Millsap is a guy who contributes stats in just about every category, and he averaged 17.1 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.7 blocks per game last season. This versatility gives him a great floor for fantasy scoring, making him a fairly safe option.

He also gets a nice boost to his upside from tonight's matchup against the Sacramento Kings, as the Kings played at the league's fastest pace last season, meaning there will be a handful more possessions than the Hawks typically see in a game -- especially useful for a guy like Millsap who can contribute peripherals even when he's not being involved in plays.

The Kings also ranked bottom-10 in defensive rating last year and allowed the league's most fantasy points to opposing power forwards.
