3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/22/16

Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Minnesota Timberwolves

Karl-Anthony Towns has put together an outstanding rookie season so far, as one of only five rookies since 2000 to average 10-plus rebounds per game as well as ranking sixth in blocks and 17th in points for a rookie in that span.

Over the past month, he leads all centers in fantasy production, averaging 42.6 FanDuel points, putting up 21.5 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2 blocks per game.

Towns has a good matchup against the Celtics, whose lack of size has caused some struggles on the interior. Boston is allowing 31 percent of their opponents' field goals to come from the restricted area, which is the seventh most in the league, while also giving up an above-average field goal percentage there. They also rank 24th in Defensive Rebound Rate and are giving up the 8th most fantasy points to opposing centers on the season.

Towns has put up 45-plus fantasy points in three of his last five games, and it would be no surprise if he reached that kind of upside once again with his solid matchup tonight.
