3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/25/19

Nikola Jokic, C, Denver Nuggets

Price: $10,900

We're dealing with some blowout risk again, but like with Giannis, Nikola Jokic's upside is worth it.

The Denver Nuggets are massive 15.5-point favorites against the Phoenix Suns, who own the league's 3rd-worst defensive rating and 2nd-worst rebound rate while sitting 13th in pace.

Nobody in the NBA allows more FanDuel points per minute to centers than the Suns do, and Jokic ranks sixth in the NBA (and second among players listed as centers on FanDuel) with an average of 1.50 fantasy points per minute. Even if his minutes get cut short here, you can't ask for a better spot for pure efficiency to carry a player.

And again, like with Giannis, the upside if this game stays close for long is massive, and $10,900 is nice and cheap for a guy who has hit the 60 FanDuel point mark eight times this year.
