Anthony Davis, PF, New Orleans Pelicans

Price: $11,500

Returning from an injury absence and having had a shut-down considered as part of trade talks, Anthony Davis' tiny workload in his last game comes across like a huge red flag. And as a result, his salary has plummeted to $11,500. This is the first time he has been priced below $12,000 since November, and it's his lowest salary of the season. He's been priced in the $14,000s more often than the $11,000s.

But that's a big over-adjustment. Obviously, the fact that he played 24 minutes and notched 19.2 FanDuel points in his last outing is a concern, especially while there's talk of keeping his minutes in check.

That game was a 30-point blowout though. The Pels were down 23 with 3 minutes and 15 seconds left in the third quarter before Davis made his final exit from the game. His efficiency is also not going to stay anywhere close to that low with any consistency, as he's averaging 1.68 FanDuel points per minute on the year after posting a then career-best 1.51 last season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are certainly a tough matchup, with a stout defense and solid rebounding numbers, but Davis is simply far, far too cheap here. Unless this game turns into a blowout (unlikely, with a 4.5-point spread), his minutes should be back up into the 30s, and big production should follow.
