3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 4/6/18

Anthony Davis, PF, New Orleans Pelicans

Price: $13,000

A salary cracking the $13,000 mark is tough to pay up for, but if you're looking for upside, Anthony Davis is worth trying to fit in your lineup.

Since DeMarcus Cousins went down at the end of January, Davis has played 36.5 minutes per game while sporting a 32.7% usage rate and 16.8% total rebound rate. He leads the NBA in both FanDuel points per minute (1.65) and per game (60.6) in that stretch. In fact, noo other player is averaging more than 56.0 fantasy points per game.

His ceiling has been ridiculous, topping 80 FanDuel points four times in that stretch, while the rest of the NBA has only done it a combined two times. He also has three of the league's four 90-plus fantasy-point games in that time.

Tonight's matchup with the Suns makes his upside particularly exciting. Phoenix has allowed the most FanDuel points per game to opposing power forwards and the sixth-most to centers this season. They also rank 29th in defensive rating and 27th in rebound rate while playing at the league's third-fastest pace over the past month.
