Kosta Koufos, C, Sacramento Kings

FanDuel Price: $4,600
Projected FanDuel Points: 16.5
Projected FanDuel Value: 3.59

Over his last two games, Kosta Koufos has taken advantage of fewer mouths to feed in the Sacramento Kings' frontcourt. With both Skal Labissiere and Willie Cauley-Stein sidelined, he's played 31 and 37 minutes, turning in 20.9 and 46.4 FanDuel points in the last two, respectively.

There's a chance Koufos sees a decrease in minutes on Friday. While Cauley-Stein is in line to return, he could be limited after dealing with a knee injury. It would be wise for Sacramento to be careful with him, so Koufos should still see roughly 30 minutes against the Golden State Warriors.

At first, you may want to shy away from a matchup with the defending champions. But the Warriors are 24th on the year against centers, and they're allowing the 4th-most FanDuel points (47.6) in the last five contests. Opponents are shooting to an effective field goal percentage of 55.6% with the Warriors grabbing the fourth-lowest percentage of available rebounds (47.8%) over that span. It's a recipe for success for a cheap big like Koufos.
