3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/14/18

Nikola Vucevic, C, Orlando Magic

Price: $8,600

Nikola Vucevic quickly worked his way back to a full workload after returning from his hand injury following the All-Star break and has played at least 29 minutes in eight of his last 10 games (at least 32 in three of his last five). His minutes were down last night, but it was a one-sided blowout that he left with almost four minutes remaining the third quarter. That shouldn't create any concern about his workload moving forward and is actually encouraging for tonight. He'll be much fresher on the second half of this back-to-back than he would normally be.

Admittedly, Vuc's price tag is pretty high, even for a guy playing minutes in the low-30's and averaging a strong 1.23 FanDuel points per minute on the year. What makes up for that, though, is a great matchup with the Bucks.

Milwaukee has been a bottom-five rebounding team this season, and while they've allowed below-average fantasy numbers to each other position, they're allowing the second-most FanDuel points per game to opposing centers.

A short four-game slate means we don't have to be quite as price-sensitive as we would on a bigger slate. The upside that Vucevic offers in this matchup is easy to like.
