3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/30/19

Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

Price: $9,400

Damian Lillard sat to rest a sore knee on Saturday, but he's not on tonight's injury report, so we can expect him to be full-go against the Utah Jazz.

"Full-go" for Lillard has been a bit of a smaller workload than we've seen from him in past seasons, but he's still averaging a healthy 35.3 minutes and 19.3 field goal attempts per game on the year with a 30.2% usage rate. He played only 29.5 minutes in a blowout in his last outing, but the three games before that did each see him play 36-plus minutes and put up 20-plus field goal attempts.

Those three games saw him average 50.2 FanDuel points per game, and even if we include his last blowout-shortened outing, he's averaging 48.2 per game over his last four.

The Jazz aren't a soft matchup, boasting a top-five defensive rating, but they haven't exactly been a scary matchup for point guards either. They allow only the 13th-fewest fantasy points per minute to the position, and Lillard should still be able to turn his workload into solid production in this spot.
