Nikola Jokic, C, Denver Nuggets

Price: $11,500

While the Denver Nuggets fight for their playoff lives, they're leaning on their starters to play huge minutes.

Nikola Jokic has averaged 38.9 minutes per game over his last six, and that has translated to some ridiculous fantasy production, with an elite 59.0 FanDuel points per game in that span. It's not just the increased minutes giving his fantasy numbers a boost, either, as his usage rate through those six contests sits at 27.8%, compared to his 24.1% season average.

The Portland Trail Blazers' defense hasn't been playing up to its usual standard recently, ranking only 15th in defensive rating over the past month. Their defense has been vulnerable in the post all season, allowing the NBA's third-most points per possession on post-up plays. That makes them a solid matchup for Jokic, who should be able to keep rolling tonight.
