3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/20/18

Blake Griffin, PF, Detroit Pistons

Price: $8,600

Going down a tier in price, Blake Griffin stands out as the top play on the cheap end of the "stud" range.

At $8,600, he needs only 43.0 fantasy points to return 5.0 points per $1,000 of salary, and he has hit that mark in six of his last eight games. Those performances don't look to be any sort of flukes, either, as he has played more than 34 minutes six times in that eight-game stretch. Consistency like that would put him on the radar tonight regardless of matchup.

Making things even better, though, is the fact he's taking on Phoenix. The Suns have played at the league's fastest pace since the break, while their 111.8 defensive rating ranks 25th and their 48.6% rebound rate checks in 23rd. They have allowed the league's most FanDuel points per game to opposing power forwards on the season, and Griffin should be able to keep rolling in this clash.
