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

Joel Embiid, C, Philadelphia 76ers

Price: $11,500

Frontcourt players have feasted against the Suns this year. Phoenix ranks bottom-five in both defensive rating and rebound rate, and they're allowing the league's most fantasy points per 48 minutes to opposing centers.

Joel Embiid is second only to Anthony Davis with 53.5 FanDuel points per game this year, and his fantasy production is up recently, with 54.7 per game over his last 10.

His 32.3% usage rate is a terrific mark despite being a career-low clip, and he pairs that with career-high marks in both rebound rate (19.5%) and assist rate (19.5%). His expanded playing time also more than makes up for his dip in usage as he's averaging a career-best 19.0 field goal attempts and 4.4 three-point attempts per game.

All of that has translated to 27.7 points, 12.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.2 blocks per game on the year, and that outstanding production gives him both a terrific floor and massive ceiling against the Suns.
