Price: $9,000

You can also save some salary on your stud center by moving down from Drummond to Nikola Jokic. The savings do cost you some in terms of floor and safety, but you're not giving up any upside.

Jokic has 40.5 or fewer FanDuel points in each of his last four games (hence the $9,000 price-tag), but he also owns the fourth-highest single-game fantasy score in the league this season (79.7) and also has a 69-fantasy-point game under his belt.

A large part of Jokic's volatility comes from the fact that he has sub-30 minute marks in 10 of his 20 games this year. In the 10 games in which he has played 30-plus minutes, Jokic is averaging 50.1 FanDuel points.

There's also a fairly distinct line between the games in which he plays more or less than 30. Nine of his 10 30-plus minute games had a margin of victory of 10 points or fewer, while the average margin for his sub-30 games is 14.7 points.

Tonight's game should be a close one -- the Denver Nuggets are 4.0-point favorites -- meaning Jokic should get plenty of run against a Los Angeles Lakers team that allows top-three fantasy production to opposing centers.
