3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/7/18
Coming off a season-worst fantasy outing, LeBron James is poised to bounce back in a big way against Minnesota.

Anthony Davis, PF, New Orleans Pelicans

Price: $11,800

Say what you want about his recent fantasy production, but Anthony Davis' elbow injury is doing nothing to hold back his playing time, as he has played at least 37.9 minutes in each of his last three games, putting him at 37.5 per game on the season, despite seeing fewer than 30 in a 20-point blowout win for one of his seven contests . If we only look at games decided by fewer than 20 points, he's averaging over 39 minutes per game.

The New Orleans Pelicans are 10.5-point favorites tonight, leaving some room for blowout risk, but it's worth noting that Davis' lone sub-30 minute outing did still see him notch 54 FanDuel points.

Now, he's coming off of three sub-50 fantasy point outings, which may create some room for concern, but with his playing time still through the roof, struggles over a sample that small are easy to look past.

Only one of those three was a true dud (29.1 in his last outing compared to 42.9 and 49.1 in the two before that), and that came against an Oklahoma City Thunder team that allows bottom-12 fantasy efficiency to both power forwards and centers.

The Bulls allow top-eight marks to both positions, and with Davis still leading the NBA with 55.9 FanDuel points per game, this is a prime spot for a bounce-back, while you also get the benefit of a reduced price tag.
