3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/19/18

Blake Griffin, PF, Detroit Pistons

Price: $9,400

Blake Griffin doesn't match the consistency of some of the top fantasy basketball studs this year, but that's why you're getting him for less than $10,000. And when it comes to upside, he can hang with just about anybody.

Griffin has topped 58 FanDuel points twice in his last six games, and earlier this season, he notched a 77.8-FanDuel-point game, which is the sixth-highest single-game score for any player on the year.

He's putting up the biggest offensive volume of his career, averaging career-high marks in both field goal (18.7) and three-point (5.9) attempts per game. That has him averaging 24.5 real-world points per game (again a career high) on a 29.2% usage rate.

Griffin's peripheral numbers haven't suffered, either. His 10.3 rebounds per game mark the first time he has been in the double-digits in that category since the 2011-12 season, and he's adding 4.8 assists and a combined 1.5 blocks and steals per game -- both better than his career averages.

He brings all of that into a solid matchup tonight against Cleveland. The Cavs are playing at a slow pace this season, but thanks to their last-ranked defensive rating (112.8), they have allowed top-13 marks in both points and assists per game to opponents.
