3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/14/19

Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

Price: $9,400

With sub-40 fantasy point performances in six of his last nine, you'd like to see Damian Lillard's price tag fall, but instead it's actually the highest we've seen since December 23.

His volume has been solid, though, and combining that with tonight's matchup is enough to create plenty of fantasy appeal despite his recent struggles.

Dame has played at least 35 minutes in four of his last seven games, and if we just look at contests decided by fewer than 10 points (today's game only has a 2.5-point spread), he's averaging a hefty 38.7 per game over his last six, attempting at least 20 field goals in four of those games and averaging 20.0 per.

The Sacramento Kings rank only 20th in defensive rating and allow the NBA's sixth-highest effective field goal percentage while playing at the league's second-fastest pace. That has them allowing the NBA's fourth-most points and eighth-most assists per game to their opponents. They're also allowing the third-most FanDuel points per minute to opposing point guards, making this a prime spot for another big game from Lillard.
