North Carolina v Duke
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA - JANUARY 22:  Malcolm Brogdon #15 of the Virginia Cavaliers brings the ball up the court  during the first half  against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at the John Paul Jones Arena on January 22, 2015 in Charlottesville, Virginia.  V
14.842.250.0

An undefeated streak to start the season might have come to an end for Virginia, but one of its biggest stars is still firing on all cylinders. Malcolm Brogdon tallied 17 points in the loss to Duke over the weekend and will look to do the same against No. 13 North Carolina.

Last season, Brogdon compiled 16 points, six rebounds and three steals against the Tar Heels. If he can put up similar numbers, he'll be worthy of lead guard status. With a chance to go off for over 20 fantasy points every time out, Brogdon should be in every lineup on Monday night.

G Naz Long, Iowa State ($5,800)

On a night where the games are limited, daily players have to take a chance on a player who is due for another big game. Naz Long is one of those players after a down game against TCU. Luckily, his price remains low against a Kansas defense that ranks 127th in the country in points allowed.

When he's on, Long is capable of being a quality choice as a top guard. Expect him to put up good numbers against the Jayhawks with another night in double-digit points and solid production for owners.

F Brice Johnson, North Carolina ($7,700)

Even when Brice Johnson has an off game on the scoring end, his rebounding ability alone can carry a fantasy team. The UNC forward scored just two points before fouling out against Louisville, but he still hauled in 10 rebounds.

Johnson spoke about his recent play, via Bret Strelow of the Fayetteville Observer:

"

I'm playing a lot better on the defensive end and getting to the offensive glass a lot more than I usually do. I don't touch it as much in the post, but I'm still able to get the ball somehow and get shots.

I just have to keep playing the way I have been playing. We can go as far as we want because my team really needs me to be the player I have been playing like.

"

If the Tar Heels are going to get back on track against Virginia, they'll need a huge performance from Johnson. For a team that ranks second in rebounding (43.5 per game), taking the No. 2 rebounder will be a promising option.

F Anthony Gill, Virginia ($5,600)

At his low asking price, Anthony Gill makes an ideal fit for daily owners with limited players to choose from. The Cavaliers forward has the potential to tally double-doubles and averages 20.6 fantasy points per game in DraftKings leagues.

Gill leads the Hoos in rebounds and averages 10.9 points per game. If he can simply have an average game by his standards, look for Gill to make a perfect third forward on Monday night.

UTIL Wayne Selden Jr. ($5,400)

Similar to Long, Wayne Selden Jr. has been on and off this season. But with his most recent output as one of the best in the Big 12 Conference, Selden is a quality utility player.

The sophomore broke out against Kansas State with 14 points, four blocks and two rebounds. That was good for over 20 fantasy points, a total he will likely eclipse once more against an Iowa State defense that ranks 240th in the country in points allowed (68.6 per game).
