4. Klay Thompson, Golden State Warriors

When we think about Klay Thompson and DFS, we mainly talk about his scoring dependency and ability to go off on any given night. He gave us a prime example earlier this year when he went off for 60 points, which engineered a 63.9 FDP night.

As it turns out there's much more to his game than just that.

Clearly, Thompson's not just a boom-or-bust type of scorer. Playing in the Golden State Warriors' high-powered, up-tempo offense, he's consistently putting up points, as well as other means of production here and there. While averaging 30.4 FDP, Thompson has never scored less than 11.2 FDP in any single contest.

Despite a super slow start to the season, the Splash Brother is averaging 22.1 points, 3.4 threes and 3.8 rebounds per night. As long as Thompson's price stays in the $5,700 to $6,900 range, he'll be a threat to return the same value he's displayed through the first part of this season.

Little did we know that he could be oh-so-vital to your important cash-game lineups.
