3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/6/17
Karl-Anthony Towns has been putting up some monster performances recently, and he should keep it going in tonight's matchup against the Miami Heat.

Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Minnesota Timberwolves

FanDuel Price: $10,200

Karl-Anthony Towns has been unstoppable over his past six games, averaging 28.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, and 51.3 FanDuel points. He's been uber-efficient during that time, too, shooting 54.5% from the field and 57.9% from deep. He's coming off of a 51.2-FanDuel-point performance against one of the best post defenders in the game, Marc Gasol, yet his $10,200 salary is the cheapest it has been since January 22.

He will battle Hassan Whiteside and the Miami Heat tonight, who have a reputation for being strong defensively against centers thanks to Whiteside's shot-blocking ability, but really have been quite average when defending the position. Miami has allowed the 12th-most FanDuel points to opposing centers and ranks just 21st in rebounding rate as a team.

They've also allowed the fourth-most points in the post this season, after allowing the highest points per possession in the post last season. Miami has also allowed a opposing bigs to shoot 51 percent out of the pick-and-roll, along with the sixth-highest points per possession in that situation.

All things point towards another monster game from Towns, and he should be one of the first players you look to when constructing lineups tonight.
