3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/1/16

Brook Lopez, C, Brooklyn Nets

Price: $8,400

Brook Lopez is another guy with one of the best matchups you could ask for, taking on the Lakers tonight.

The Lakers can't play defense, ranking dead last with a 111.8 Defensive Efficiency, can't rebound, ranking 20th in Offensive and 28th in Defensive Rebound Rate, and can't protect the rim, allowing 66.8 percent of opponent field goal attempts to come within three feet of the basket, the second-highest in the league.

Predictably, this has all allowed opposing centers to thrive against them, and they're allowing the third most fantasy points to centers on the year.

Lopez hasn't been a consistent fantasy producer this season, but he has elite upside, and this is the perfect matchup for him to show that.

In February, he averaged 22.3 points and 7.3 rebounds, good for 37.2 FanDuel points per game, with two 50-plus fantasy point performances. He also ranks third among centers this year with eight games of 50 or more fantasy points, behind only DeMarcus Cousins and Andre Drummond.
