3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/5/18

Anthony Davis, PF, New Orleans Pelicans

Price: $11,700

Anthony Davis has continued to roll with big minutes (at least 36 in 12 straight games and averaging 37.8 since DeMarcus Cousins went down), and it comes as no surprise that he has also been posting big fantasy numbers. He's averaging a shade over 60 FanDuel points per game without Cousins on the year, and he hasn't posted fewer than 57 in any of his last five games.

He has played a massive role in his four games since Cousins' injury, sporting a 36.3% usage rate with a 17.0% rebound rate and 15.8% assist rate. His 1.55 FanDuel points per minute in that stretch sit well ahead of his 1.40 average on the year, more resembling the 1.72 he has averaged in all of the minutes he has played with Boogie off the court. For context, even his 1.55 mark would be first in the NBA over the whole season.

The Utah Jazz represent a tough matchup, but Davis' salary is way down to reflect that -- he's priced below $12,000 for the first time since January 28th, despite his consistently strong fantasy production over those last three games. Without the drop in price, this bad matchup might be enough to create some concern, but it helps make Davis numberFire's top-projected fantasy scorer for Monday.
