Ante Zizic, C, Cleveland Cavaliers

FanDuel Price: $4,200
Projected FanDuel Points: 9.1
Projected FanDuel Value: 2.17

We already know that both Tristan Thompson (foot) and Larry Nance Jr. (knee) will be out tonight when the Cleveland Cavaliers take on the Utah Jazz. That means that there are 55.4 minutes to divvy up, and one of the most likely players to take advantage of extended playing time tonight is center Ante Zizic.

Even with Thompson playing in the Cavs' last game, Zizic was able to see a career-high 27 minutes of run. He could see 30-plus tonight, which is exciting given his recent caliber of play. He scored 16 points and 8 boards on Wednesday, and he's now scored in double figures in three out of his past four games.

Opportunity isn't everything in daily fantasy, but it sure accounts for a huge portion of a player's potential output, especially when they are priced at a bargain $4,200. The matchup against Rudy Gobert will obviously be tough, but that actually might work in your favor by limiting those actually choose to roster Zizic in tournaments this evening.
