3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/18/17
DeMarcus Cousins is playing up in pace tonight against an Indiana team that struggles on the glass. Which other high-priced players should be on your radar?

DeMarcus Cousins, C, Sacramento Kings

FanDuel Price: $10,700

DeMarcus Cousins has been quietly consistent recently, with 48-plus FanDuel points in 9 of his last 11 games. He is also averaging 48.6 per game over the past month.

The big man hasn't been blowing up with big games as often as we saw last year, and that is largely thanks to the Sacramento Kings playing at a bottom-10 pace. But looking at his numbers per 100 possessions shows Cousins has actually been producing the most efficient fantasy numbers of his career, while averaging 41.2 points, 14.7 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 2.1 steals and 2.0 blocks per 100 possessions.

Tonight's matchup gives him some of that upside back, as the Kings will be playing way up in pace against the Indiana Pacers, who have played at the league's fourth-highest pace over the past month.

The Pacers have also been a great fantasy matchup for big men, ranking bottom-five in both offensive and defensive rebound rate while allowing top-10 fantasy production to centers.
