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

Andre Drummond, C, Detroit Pistons

Price: $10,100

On the other side of the Cleveland/Detroit game, Andre Drummond should also benefit from the absence of Tristan Thompson.

With both Thompson and Love off the floor this year, Cleveland has a 47.8% total rebound rate. For context, that mark would rank 28th among all teams over the whole season. Even including minutes Thompson and Love have played, the Cavs have also allowed a top-five field goal percentage in the restricted area.

Larry Nance Jr. has played all of the center minutes when Thompson hasn't been on the floor in Cleveland's last few games, and Nance is only 6'9" with a career 14.4% total rebound rate. He has also been very weak defending post-ups this season, allowing 0.94 points per possession, putting him in the 35th percentile.

The 6'11" Drummond leads the league with a 26.3% total rebound rate (also a career-high, and on pace to be his fourth time leading the league in the last five years), while of 8.3 his 11.4 field goal attempts per game have come from the restricted area.

He has shown huge fantasy upside lately, topping 55 FanDuel points in six of his last 15 games, making this is an outstanding stylistic matchup for him.
