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

Nikola Jokic, C, Denver Nuggets

Price: $10,500

In case you're not into that whole paying up for point guards thing, we get an elite center option in point-big Nikola Jokic. The Denver Nuggets' do-it-all star is sandwiched between the two other centers above $10,000, even though he has as much -- if not more -- upside than both.

If history is any indicator, The Joker is in for another smash game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. After a poor 29.7-FanDuel-point game against them back in November, he's put up 58.5 and 62.8 in the last two against them. Both of those were in Denver, and tonight's game is on the road. However, Jokic was absolutely dominant, hitting 46.3% of his shots, grabbing 12.0 rebounds and dishing out 9.5 helpers a game.

For all the love Steven Adams and OKC's fourth-ranked defense gets, the Thunder are 16th against the center position, allowing 54.1 FanDuel points per 48. Jokic's minutes have been limited in a couple blowouts, as well as last night's front end of a back-to-back (he played fewer than 25 minutes), but he should be back to 30 to 32 here. The Nuggets are one game back of the 1 seed and an ever-narrowing three games clear of the Blazers and Rockets.

We have Jokic tallying 48.9 FanDuel points for a value of 4.65 points per $1,000.
