3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/1/18

Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Minnesota Timberwolves

Price: $9,300

What keeps Karl-Anthony Towns priced well below the top couple tiers of studs in daily fantasy isn't a lack of ceiling but a lack of consistency. If we're looking at his work over an extended period, that makes sense, but in daily fantasy, we don't have to commit to him for more than one night, often leaving him as a steal when he's in a good matchup.

At $9,300, KAT only needs 46.5 FanDuel points to return 5 points per every $1,000 in salary at this price, and that's a mark he has surpassed twice in his last four games. He also hit seven-times value on today's salary just eight games ago, and he has six games of at least 60 FanDuel points on the year.

Towns matches up really well with the Milwaukee Bucks, who rank 27th in rebound rate and 20th in defensive rating while allowing top-five fantasy production to centers. Towns is a great option if you're not looking to pay up for that top tier of studs tonight.
