3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/9/18

Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Minnesota Timberwolves

Price: $9,600

Going back to that Wolves/Kings matchup, Sacramento ranks only 27th in total rebound rate this season.

Karl-Anthony Towns is having a rough start to the year in many areas, and that includes rebounding. His 16.2% total rebound rate sits well below both the 20.0% he posted last year and his 19.3% career-average. A matchup with the Kings should be a recipe to right that number, though. Both the inefficiency of the Kings and the high number of rebounding opportunities in this up-tempo matchup should let Towns have a big game on the glass.

He's also struggling to score, matching a career-low with 18.3 points per game. He has only managed a .515 effective field goal percentage, which is again far below his mark from last year (.596) and career-average (.573), and dealing with a small 12-game sample size, we can expect some regression in that area. The Kings have allowed the NBA's eighth-highest effective field goal percentage to opponents, so again, this matchup puts Towns in a prime spot for a bounce-back.

Towns hasn't been without upside even in this down year, either. His last six games have seen him top 55 FanDuel points three times (including two games with 60-plus), and he's got a massive ceiling in this matchup.
