3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/12/17

Anthony Davis, PF, New Orleans Pelicans

FanDuel Price: $11,800

Anthony Davis isn't a lock to suit up tonight as he's dealing with a hip injury, but X-rays on his hip came back negative, and he downplayed the severity of the injury. Even though a banged-up Davis is always a risky play, the quality of this matchup may outweigh the risk.

The Brooklyn Nets have been an amazing team to target in fantasy this season. They rank 27th in defensive rating, 27th in offensive rebound rate, 25th in defensive rebound rate, turn the ball over at the league's highest rate and have had more of their shots blocked per game than any other team.

Combine that with their league-high pace, and they are allowing top-five fantasy production to opponents at every position, including the third-most fantasy points per game to power forwards and the most to centers.

Davis' fantasy production probably doesn't need a ton of introduction. He is averaging 52.3 FanDuel points per game on the season and 53.6 over his last 10 games. His ceiling is as high as any player in the league when he draws a matchup this good.
