Nikola Jokic, C, Denver Nuggets

Price: $11,300

There's some risk in playing Nikola Jokic, as the Denver Nuggets could easily run away with this one as 12.5-point favorites against the Chicago Bulls. This matchup is so soft that Jokic's upside is worth the risk though.

Jokic ranks sixth in the NBA, averaging a career-high 1.47 FanDuel points per minute. When playing at least 33 minutes (something he's done 18 times this year) he's averaging 53.6 FanDuel points per game.

The Bulls allow top-10 marks in all of rebounds, assists and blocks, as well as above-average marks in steals and points per game, making them a great fantasy matchup across the board. They're allowing the slate's most FanDuel points per minute to opposing centers, and for as long as he's on the court, Jokic should feast tonight.
