Ante Zizic, C, Cleveland Cavaliers

FanDuel Price: $4,400
Projected FanDuel Points: 30.5
Projected FanDuel Value: 6.93

With Kevin Love sitting out on Tuesday and Larry Nance Jr. likely not playing as well, Ante Zizic will have as many minutes as he can handle against the Philadelphia 76ers. While the matchup against Joel Embiid is not ideal, the Cleveland Cavaliers will need Zizic's big body out there to in matchup, leaving him pushing 30 minutes tonight. With extra minutes in hand, Zizic could put up another impressive fantasy night, much like he did on Monday.

Against the Toronto Raptors, Zizic dropped 17 points, 7 rebounds and 22.4 FanDuel points in 27 minutes as he started alongside Love. With Love out, he is all but assured a spot in the starting lineup. In his 17 starts this season, Zizic has averaged 11.6 points and 8.2 rebounds in just under 27 minutes a game. He finished with an average of 24.0 FanDuel points in those starts.

With solid minutes in tow, Zizic carries a high floor tonight. In the 15 games this season Zizic has played at least 22 minutes, he finished with over 22 FanDuel points -- the number he needs for optimal value (5.0 points per $1,000) -- 13 times. It’s no wonder the big man is our second-best value option of the night with a projected 30.5 FanDuel points.
