Luka Doncic, SG, Dallas Mavericks

Price: $8,200

The Houston/Miami game has more big-name fantasy options like Harden, but the Dallas Mavericks versus Los Angeles Clippers game promises to be much higher-scoring, with a 221.0-point over/under, compared to a 209.5 mark for the other matchup.

The Clippers' 110.0 defensive rating ranks only 19th in the NBA, and it's the third-worst mark on this slate, and even as underdogs the Mavs have a solid 108.75-point implied total.

Doncic has shown a reasonable fantasy floor for a while now, with at least 30 FanDuel points in 11 of his last 14 games, and with fewer than 27 in only 2 of his last 15. He has also shown some increased upside recently, though, going off for north of 45 FanDuel points three times in his last four games.

In a favorable spot and on a short slate, that makes him a top play in all formats.
