3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/8/17

Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Minnesota Timberwolves

Price: $9,700

Karl-Anthony Towns is a risky play tonight, with some underwhelming performances in his last couple of games -- but that includes matchups with a Pelicans team that allows bottom-10 fantasy production to centers and a blowout win over the Hornets in which KAT played limited minutes.

He still has 40-plus FanDuel points in seven of his 10 games this season, and he has shown no shortage of upside, with a 66.8-fantasy point performance that only six players have topped this year.

His 25.5% usage rate is down with the addition of Jimmy Butler to the Minnesota offense, but it's accompanied by a 19.4% rebound rate that is on pace to match his career-best from last year. His offensive efficiency has also improved for the second-straight year, and he's sporting a .645 true shooting percentage.

The Wolves will likely see an uptick in possessions tonight, taking on a Dubs team that ranks sixth in the NBA in pace, and with their struggles against frontcourt players -- they allow top-5 fantasy production to both power forwards and centers -- Towns offers elite upside tonight.
