3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/23/17
Blake Griffin draws an intriguing matchup against a Mavs team that has struggled on the glass recently. Which other high-priced NBA players should be on your DFS radar tonight?

Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

FanDuel Price: $9,900

Damian Lillard has been getting plenty of run lately -- averaging 36.3 minutes per game through 11 contests in March -- and he has turned that workload into 31.1 points and 5.5 assists per game. He's coming off back-to-back games with 50 fantasy points and has averaged 49.8 per game over his last 4.

He has also attempted at least 20 field goals in 6 of his last 8 games (averaging 22.2 per game in that span), and that huge offensive volume gives him big upside.

He draws a great matchup against a New York Knicks team that not only ranks bottom five in defensive rating this month, but will be playing on the road on the second half of a back-to-back.

There aren't many studs in action tonight, with nobody on the slate price above $10,000. While we project Lillard as the second-highest fantasy scorer on the slate, his volume and this great matchup combine to give him what might be the highest upside of the day.
