3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 12/7/18

Andre Drummond, C, Detroit Pistons

Price: $8,800

The volatility of Andre Drummond has left him cheap enough that, despite a tough matchup tonight, he still offers some huge value with his upside.

This matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers also isn't nearly as tough as it usually is because Joel Embiid will get the night off to rest.

The Sixers own the eighth-highest rebound rate in the NBA, but Embiid's 20.6% rebound rate is by far a team-high, and nobody else in Philly has a mark above 15.6%. For Drummond, who leads the NBA with 15.5 rebounds per game, it doesn't get much better. The lack of Embiid's defensive presence down low should also be a boon for Drummond, who is averaging career-highs in both field goal attempts (14.9) and points (18.0) per game.

There's no question that Drummond's upside is among the elite, with four 60-plus FanDuel points showings in his last 14 games, as well as nine games with at least 49.5 in that stretch, and this matchup getting softer puts him in a good spot to unleash that upside while priced nice and low on Friday.
