3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/11/16

Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

Price: $9,600

Damian Lillard's fantasy production against the Warriors this season has been staggering. In their first meeting, he racked up 40 points, 10 assists and 3 boards, good for 63.6 FanDuel points. He managed to outdo himself in the second game, picking up 51 points and 7 assists and 6 steals, good for 73.5 FanDuel points, in only 31.1 minutes of action.

Obviously, two games is a small sample size, but those performances really highlight how great a matchup this is.

Lillard ranks second in the league over the past month with 33.5 points per game, while sporting a huge 35.4 percent Usage Rate -- the third highest among players seeing at least 10 minutes per game in that span. He's also putting up 5.3 assists and 3.8 boards, giving him 45.7 FanDuel points per game.

The Warriors play at the second fastest Pace in the league, meaning the Blazers will see a few more possessions than normal (especially promising given Lillard's Usage Rate), and this has them, despite their strong defense, giving up the 10th-most points per game. They're also allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing point guards on the season.

We shouldn't necessarily expect another 60-plus fantasy point night for Lillard, but this has all the makings of another big-time performance from him.
