3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/4/19

Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Minnesota Timberwolves

Price: $10,600

Karl-Anthony Towns is playing some huge minutes lately, and that has translated to serious fantasy production.

KAT has at least 36.5 minutes in each of his last four games, averaging 38.3 per game in that stretch. He has both attempted more than 20 field goals (21.3 per) and grabbed 17 rebounds in three of the four (16.8 per). His 51.9 FanDuel points last night were by far his worst of those four games, having notched 69.3, 90.1 and 70.4 in the previous three. Plus, he is the only player in the NBA to top 90 FanDuel points in a game this year.

Despite this tear, his price tag is climbing fairly slowly. He was priced at $9,600 for the first of those four games, and an increase of $1,000 simply does not capture either his production or his workload.

Tonight, he's up against an Orlando Magic squad that ranks bottom-10 in rebound rate and a middling 14th in defensive rating. That's not the kind of matchup that should scare you off of Towns while he's rolling like this.
