DeMarcus Cousins, C, Sacramento Kings

FanDuel Price: $11,000

The Sacramento Kings will be playing up in pace tonight, taking on a Portland Trail Blazers team that ranks 11th in the league in pace as well as dead last in defensive rating. This should be a game which generates plenty of fantasy production.

The matchup is especially encouraging for Sacramento's frontcourt players like DeMarcus Cousins, as Portland ranks only 19th in offensive rebound rate and 23rd in defensive rebound rate. The Blazers are allowing the league's fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing centers and the most to power forwards.

Cousins' fantasy production has been a little inconsistent this month, but he has topped 55 FanDuel points in six of his last 11 games. He has averaged 29.8 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.4 steals -- good for 51.4 FanDuel points per game -- in that span. He also has a huge 38.5% usage rate this month, and he should have no trouble putting up another big game in such a good matchup tonight.
