3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 12/4/18

Nikola Vucevic, C, Orlando Magic

Price: $9,700

The only player on the slate scoring more fantasy points than Lillard, Nikola Vucevic's 44.5 per game rank 12th in the NBA on the season. He's also averaging 50.0 per game in nine contests over the last three weeks, which is good for eighth in the NBA.

Over those last three weeks, he has topped 50 FanDuel points in 6 of his 9 games, and while he had one dud (26.6 fantasy points) he also exploded for a season-high 71.5 last Sunday.

Despite playing only 30.8 minutes per game this season (up to 32.5 over his last nine), Vooch is averaging a career-high 21.0 points to go with 11.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.1 blocks per game. His usage rate is up to a career-high 27.0%, and his 19.9% rebound rate is only 0.3% below his career-high.

The Miami Heat have been a tough fantasy matchups for centers this year (ninth-fewest FanDuel points per minute allowed to the position), but on a short slate Vucevic's recent increase in production makes him a terrific play anyway. Our models agree, projecting him for the day's top fantasy score.
