Nikola Jokic, C, Denver Nuggets

Price: $9,500

Always an efficient fantasy producer, Nikola Jokic is averaging 1.33 FanDuel points per minute on the year and 1.30 per minute over his career. It's typically a lack of minutes, that holds Jokic back as a top fantasy option.

Jokic's minutes have really picked up in recent games, though, as he's played at least 35 in four of his last five contests, averaging 36.4 minutes per night in that span. With that increased workload, he has averaged a shade over 50 FanDuel points per game in that five-game run.

His matchup tonight isn't a great one -- though he burned Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers for 53.6 fantasy points in their first meeting this season -- but with a short five-game slate that is lacking in terms of true top-end fantasy plays, Jokic's increased minutes and recent production are enough that we can afford to look past the matchup.
