3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/19/18
Victor Oladipo has huge upside playing up in pace against the Lakers tonight. Which other high-priced players should be on your radar on Friday?

Victor Oladipo, SG, Indiana Pacers

Price: $9,300

Victor Oladipo isn't a hyper-consistent fantasy producer, but he also offers no shortage of upside, thanks in part to his big offensive role -- he sports a 30.3% usage rate and averages 17.9 field goal attempts per game. That upside has been on display lately, with a trio of 55-plus FanDuel point games over the past month.

Dipo sees a combined 56.5% of his possessions come either in transition (his 5.2 transition possessions per game rank 5th on the season) or as a pick and roll ball handler (7.8 possessions per game, 9th among players with at least 15 games played).

That leaves him matching up incredibly well tonight against a Los Angeles Lakers team that allows opponents to register the league's fourth-most points per possession in transition and ninth-most points per possession to pick-and-roll ball handlers. They've been a great team to attack in fantasy all year -- allowing top-10 fantasy numbers at every position -- but the stylistic matchup here makes this an especially mouth-watering spot for Oladipo.
