Nikola Jokic, PF, Denver Nuggets

FanDuel Price: $10,000

Nikola Jokic returned from his illness this weekend and looked good, dropping 20-point double-doubles in back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday. He only played 27 minutes in that first game, but he was up to 30 minutes on Saturday so his workload shouldn't be a concern moving forward.

Jokic is averaging 47.2 FanDuel points per game over his last five outings, nearly 5 points per $1,000 at today's salary. Ranking eighth in the NBA with 1.3 FanDuel points per minute (minimum 200 minutes) on the season, he offers huge upside on a nightly basis.

He also stands to benefit from a terrific matchup tonight against a weak Los Angeles Lakers frontcourt. The Lakers rank 28th in both defensive rating and rebound rate over the past month, while they have also allowed the league's most fantasy points per-48 minutes to both power forwards and centers this season.
