Anthony Davis, PF, New Orleans Pelicans

Price: $10,200

Also standing to benefit from the high-paced, high-scoring Warriors/Pelicans matchup is Anthony Davis. As I mentioned with Curry, both of these teams play at top-10 tempos, and the 229.0 over/under is the highest of the night.

Davis has been on a tear over the past month, averaging 28.6 points and 12 rebounds per game, good for 50.2 FanDuel points per game -- the third-highest in the league.

The Warriors' defense is strong, but with their fast pace, they are actually in the top-10 in points per game allowed and are giving up top-10 fantasy scoring to centers, where Davis plays over half of his minutes, by the estimates on Nylon Calculus.

One of the few areas where the Warriors are only average is in their rebounding, ranking 14th in Offensive and 15th in Defensive Rebound Rate. Davis ranks eighth in rebounds per game over the past month, and in such a fast game, he should be able to put up a big number there. He's also sporting a 30 percent Usage Rate in that span, and he's going to have no shortage of opportunities to put up big fantasy numbers.
