3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/9/19

Andre Drummond, C, Detroit Pistons

Price: $9,500

If Embiid isn't your cup of tea, there's another great high-priced center option available in Andre Drummond.

The league's leading rebounder, Drummond is averaging a career-high 17.1 points to go with 14.9 boards, 1.2 assists and a combined 3.4 blocks and steals while playing 33.2 minutes per game. His minutes are up recently as well, playing at least 36 in each of his last three games.

His fantasy production hasn't been anything special in those games, notching 34.0, 45.6 and 45.8 FanDuel points. 45 fantasy points isn't a bad mark at this price point either, and a few quiet games doesn't mean his ceiling has disappeared, especially when two of those games were against top-six defenses in the Grizzlies and the Utah Jazz.

Tonight, he's up against the Los Angeles Lakers, who also rank well in defensive rating (eighth) but play at the league's third-fastest pace and allow top-five fantasy efficiency to opposing centers.
