Nicolas Batum is a great all-around NBA player, but he's also a very consistent fantasy option and has proven as much once again this season.

For a player priced around $7,000, Batum brings a lot to the table. Spread across 34.6 minutes, his averages of 15.0 points, 7.1 rebounds and 6.1 assists creates a solid floor for his price point.

While he's tied for second among two-guards with 31 games at or above 4.5 times value, he's also surpassed 5.5 times value on 7 occasions. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise given his 21.3% usage rate and a per-game output of 33.0 FDP.
