3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/6/18

Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

Price: $9,700

Not many guys have seen the kind of workload that Damian Lillard has recently, and it's translated into strong fantasy production.

He has played at least 38 minutes in seven of his 11 games over the past month, ranking sixth in the NBA with 37.3 minutes per game and third with a 34.4% usage rate (minimum 50 minutes played) in that time. Typically an inconsistent fantasy producer, this huge workload has helped him top 50 FanDuel points in five of his last nine games, which has yielded a nightly average of 49.8.

Tonight's matchup against the Knicks puts him in a great spot to keep things rolling. New York has allowed top-10 fantasy production to opposing point guards this season, and their recent move to starting Emmanuel Mudiay at the point makes this matchup even better -- he ranks last at the position in ESPN's defensive real plus-minus metric.
