3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 12/6/18

Kyrie Irving, PG, Boston Celtics

Price: $9,000

Tonight's game between the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks has a slate-high 217.5-point over/under. There is a ton of blowout risk, as the Boston Celtics are 13.5-point favorites, though that means they have a slate-high 115.5-point implied total.

The New York Knicks own the league's 4th-worst defensive rating while playing at a middling 16th-ranked pace. They allow the NBA's fifth-highest effective field goal percentage and give up the fifth-most points and second-most assists per game.

Kyrie Irving is averaging a career-high 6.5 assists to go with 22.2 points per game, which matchup up quite well with the Knicks. The blowout risk here makes him a risky option, as his minutes could easily be cut short, but he's also still got plenty of upside. The C's will need to produce big numbers to take that kind of a lead, and we've seen Kyrie hit the 55-FanDuel-point mark in three of his last seven and four of his last nine games, which includes a season-high 70.9 less than three weeks ago.
