3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/8/17
Coming off back-to-back 50-fantasy point performances, Andre Drummond is in a great spot against the Pacers. What other high-priced players should be on your radar in daily fantasy on Wednesday?

Andre Drummond, C, Detroit Pistons

Price: $9,400

Andre Drummond is on fire this year, coming off back-to-back 50-plus FanDuel point games, while also having notched at least 48 -- better than five-times value on today's salary -- in four of his last five.

His 18.9% usage rate represents a drop-off from where it was last season, but his league-leading 25.8% total rebound rate is on pace to be a career-high, as is his 12.2% assist rate -- which more than doubles his previous career-best of 6.0%.

The Detroit Pistons rank bottom-6 in pace this season, so Drummond's bulk stats don't always reflect how dominant he has been, but he's averaging 21.3 points, 22.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 3.2 steals and 1.7 blocks per 100 possessions. He's up against the Indiana Pacers tonight, and with their top-10 pace, he should see more possessions than he usually does.

The Pacers rank bottom-10 in both defensive rating and total rebound rate, and that has led to frontcourt players shredding them -- they've allowed the league's second-most fantasy points per game to power forwards and fourth-most to centers. Making things even more appealing for Drummond, Indiana is on the travel end of a back-to-back, having just dealt with the New Orleans Pelicans' nightmare frontcourt duo on Tuesday.
