The 2014-15 NBA Fantasy Basketball season is about to kickoff. Here are the best natural power forwards and sleepers based on NBA.com's fantasy basketball draft big board.

1. Anthony Davis

Anthony Davis is not only the top power forward in the draft board, but was also drafted first overall in many fantasy leagues because the New Orleans Pelicans star looks poised to have another big season.

Davis, who will be playing in just his third season in the league, surprised fantasy owners last season after averaging 20.8 points and 10.0 rebounds to go along with 2.8 blocks and 1.3 steals.

The rebounds, blocks and steals were not surprising because the former Kentucky standout was known for his defense in college. His point production was stunning, considering the fact that he also shot 51.9 percent from the field and 79.1 percent from the free-throw line -- a remarkable stat line for a defensive-minded player.

If Davis will manage to stay healthy all-season long, it will not be surprising if he will be the top performer in the upcoming fantasy basketball season instead of LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

2. Kevin Love

Kevin Love is listed as the second-best power forward on NBA.com's draft board after posting huge numbers last season -- 26.1 points, 12.5 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.5 three-pointers a game.

However, it should be noted that Love played for the Minnesota Timberwolves last season, a team who had to rely on him big time to win games. Now that he is with the Cleveland Cavaliers, where he will form a big three with James and Kyrie Irving, it is interesting to see how his stats will be affected this season.

3. LaMarcus Aldridge

LaMarcus Aldridge ranked third among the natural power forwards this year. The Portland Trail Blazers star averaged career-highs 23.2 points, 11.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists last season, while also tallying a shot block a game and shooting 82.2 percent from the free-throw line.

With the Blazers' core remaining intact, Aldridge, who will also a lucrative deal after the upcoming season, is expected to have another big year.

Sleepers - Power Forwards

Kenneth Faried might have a breakout year now that his future with the Denver Nuggets is already secured after signing four-year deal worth around $50 million. The 24-year-old struggled early in the previous season, but averaged 18.8 points on 54.6 percent shooting, 10.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals after the All-Star break.

Tristan Thompson is surrounded by a star-studded cast in Cleveland, but could produce well as he is expected to lead their second unit. The 23-year-old averaged 12.3 points and 9.2 rebounds in six preseason games for the Cavaliers.
