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

Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

Price: $9,400

Damian Lillard has seen one of the league's biggest workloads over the past month, ranking seventh with 37.1 minutes per game and fourth with a 34.1% usage rate (minimum 50 minutes played) in that time.

Even playing that massive role in the Portland offense, his fantasy production has remained pretty inconsistent. That does leave his price tag fairly low for a stud with his upside, though. His salary doesn't reflect the fact that he has hit at least 58 FanDuel points three times in his last eight games, leaving his upside very appealing at this price point.

That is also compounded by a great matchup against the Lakers. L.A. is playing at the league's fastest pace this season, allowing top-seven marks in both points and rebounds as well as above-average marks in assists and steals per game. This has them allowing the NBA's sixth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing point guards.
