Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

FanDuel Price: $9,900

Tonight's Portland Trail Blazers-Golden State Warriors game is everything you can want from a game from a fantasy standpoint. Both teams played with above-average pace last season (with the Warriors ranking second), and both teams rank top-10 in pace to start this season. The game also has a massive 227.5-point over-under, a full 10 points higher than any other on the slate.

The high pace and Steph Curry's sometimes-shaky defense led to the Warriors allowing the league's fifth-most fantasy points to opposing point guards last season, and that makes this a great spot for Damian Lillard.

Lillard has posted outstanding fantasy numbers to start the season, playing at least 35 minutes with a usage rate of at least 35% in each of his first three games. He's averaging 35 points, 8 rebounds and 5.3 assists (good for 50.9 FanDuel points) in 37.7 minutes per game and should have no trouble continuing with the huge numbers tonight.
