3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 4/3/19

Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

Price: $10,200

The Memphis Grizzlies have been a mess down the stretch this season, and with Mike Conley doubtful to suit up on Wednesday, Damian Lillard is in a terrific spot. The Grizz rank 8th in the NBA with a 107.5 defensive rating on the season, but with Conley off the floor that climbs to 109.4, which would rank only 16th.

The Portland Trail Blazers are also playing for playoff seeding, with home-court advantage in the first round still very much up in the air. With that being the case, Lillard has averaged 37.2 minutes per game in contests decided by fewer than 20 points over the past month. He's turned those minutes into 20.0 field goal attempts and 47.6 FanDuel points per game, and he's posted at least 59 FanDuel points in three of the last seven games in that sample.

There's some blowout risk tonight, as the Blazers are favored by 10.5 points, but Dame's upside is huge if this one stays close enough for his minutes to climb into the mid- or high-30s.
