Noah Vonleh, PF/C, New York Knicks
DraftKings Price: $5,200
New York Knicks forward Noah Vonleh has been having a career year in 2018-19, yet he's been frustrating to use in daily and season-long fantasy leagues. He's averaging career-highs in points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, and field goal percentage. Yet foul trouble has plagued him, especially in his past few games.
That foul trouble has forced the Knicks to limit him to 20 combined minutes in Friday and Sunday's games. When he is able to stay on the court, he's dominating. He has double-doubles the past two times he's played at least 30 minutes this season and opened the regular season with one against tonight's opponent, the Atlanta Hawks.
The game sets up well for him tonight as the Hawks are giving up the fourth-most DraftKings points per game to opposing power forwards, according to FantasyPros. The game should be fantasy-friendly in general, with a total of 221 and a spread of just one point.
Our projections for Vonleh are as chaotic as his recent success. We have him with a baseline of 17.1 DraftKings points with upside for 37.9.
