Serge Ibaka, PF, Toronto Raptors

FanDuel Price: $5,900

After a slow start, Serge Ibaka had begun to heat up in his final weeks with the Orlando Magic. He posted five 30-plus fantasy point nights in his last eight games before getting traded, averaging 16.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, and 30.0 fantasy points per night. His recent run of success has carried over to Toronto Raptors, as well.

In two games with his new squad, the power forward is averaging 16.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks while posting a total of 63.4 FanDuel points. Versus the Portland Trail Blazers, he collected 38 fantasy points against a defense that allows the third-most points to power forwards. On Monday, he faces the team that allows the fourth-most in the New York Knicks.

In his previous two matchups with New York, Ibaka has scored 28.2 and 35.5 FanDuel points, which came while playing for the NBA's second-worst offense. The power forward now resides on the league's fifth-best offense in terms of points per game.

Since the start of 2017, the Knicks haven't slowed anyone down, giving up the fifth-most points in the league (110.3). Monday is on track to be no different as the Raptors have a 107.0-point implied point total. Not only are they favored to win, but their players are also in line for a big fantasy night as New York allows the most FanDuel points to their opponents of any team on the seven-game slate tonight.
