3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/27/18

Anthony Davis, PF, New Orleans Pelicans

Price: $12,500

If you are looking to pay up past the Greek Freak, one way to approach it is to just look for pure ceiling -- an area that Anthony Davis holds a big edge over everybody in the NBA at this point.

His 61.8 FanDuel points per game are the most in the NBA since the break, but where he has really impressed has been with the damage he can do in a single game. He has topped 90 FanDuel points three times since February 1st, while nobody else has done so more than once this season. He owns three of the top-seven single-game fantasy scores this year, as well as six of the top 13.

The Portland Trail Blazers are certainly a tough matchup, but Davis has shown that a tough matchup will likely be more detrimental to his floor than his ceiling, with matchups against the Miami Heat and Utah Jazz included in his top-six fantasy performances this year. The matchup and high price-tag make him less exciting in cash games, but his upside makes him a strong play in large-field tournaments.
