3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/10/19

Andre Drummond, C, Detroit Pistons

Price: $9,800

With Andre Drummond coming off an underwhelming 40.9 FanDuel points last night, there's still plenty of room for optimism on Thursday.

He continued to see some reasonable run, playing 32.2 minutes before getting pulled with 4:26 left in the fourth quarter of a blowout. That put him on pace to play roughly 36 minutes in a close game, which is in line with what he did in his last three games, seeing at least 36.9 minutes in each. It's also probably to our benefit that he was pulled early in that one, since he's on the second half of a back-to-back tonight.

Drummond did his usual dominant peripheral work on Wednesday, finishing with 17 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 blocks and 2 steals, but he had only 6 points on 2-of-12 shooting. We can expect regression on the offensive end, even with his 50.0% field goal percentage on the year representing a career-low clip.

The Sacramento Kings allow the league's third-highest field goal percentage on two-point shots (where 98.6% of Drummond's field goals have come from this season), and they also rebound at a bottom-five rate.

Drummond should see plenty of playing time tonight as this game has just a 5.0-point spread, and he should have no trouble converting those minutes into production in this matchup.
