3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/29/19

Kemba Walker, PG, Charlotte Hornets

Price: $10,000

Again, tonight is a slate where you probably need -- or at least want -- to pay up for your point guards. Like Lillard, Kemba Walker commands a steep price tag but is very much in play because of his straight bonkers numbers of late.

Averaging 42.0 FanDuel points for the year, Kemba's hit another gear with 62.7 over the last three. The crazy thing about it is he's gotten the job done in a couple different ways. Against the Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs, he scored at least 36 points en route to 66-plus FanDuel points, whereas he was limited to 15 points but with 13 assists and 4 steals in a 55.1-point showing versus the Toronto Raptors.

In this three-game stretch, Walker has used 33.7% of his team's offensive possessions, while both his assist (47.8%) and rebound (11.7%) rates are up in that span. Because of his willingness to do it all, his Charlotte Hornets have now won four straight and remain within striking distance -- 1.5 games -- of the 8 seed in the East. Don't expect him to slow down as he heads west to battle the playing-for-nothing Lakers.

As 2.5-point favorites, the Hornets are fifth on the slate with a 115.5 implied team total -- 4.6 beyond their season average. Walker's ceiling is just as high as it's been, with our models projecting him for 45.8 FanDuel points tonight.
