3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/11/17

Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Minnesota Timberwolves

FanDuel Price: $9,500

The Minnesota Timberwolves will be playing way up in pace on Wednesday, as they have played at the league's fourth-slowest pace over the past month and will be taking on a Houston Rockets team that has the third-highest pace that span.

Even with the Wolves' slow pace, Towns has been producing some solid fantasy numbers recently, with fewer than 35 FanDuel points in only one of 15 games in the month. That inlcudes two games above 55 fantasy points and a solid average of 44.5 per game.

The Rockets have ranked in the middle of the pack against centers, but with Clint Capela still out, this matchup is well above average. Capela's 18.1% total rebound rate is the highest among Rockets players that have played at least 50 minutes. His playing time is also being split up between Nene Hilario, whose 12.2% ranks third, and Montrezl Harrell, whose 11.3% ranks sixth.

Bringing his solid production into a solid matchup for both scoring and rebounding while also playing way up in pace gives Towns tremendous upside.
