3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 12/20/16
DeMarcus Cousins, C, Sacramento Kings
FanDuel Price: $11,200
Despite a couple of quiet games recently, DeMarcus Cousins has topped 50 FanDuel points in nine of his last 12 games. He is averaging a strong 29.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.0 blocks per game in that span.
After picking up their pace significantly for a couple of weeks, the Sacramento Kings have reverted back to 18th in pace in December. That's a bit of a blow to Cousins' fantasy value, but the impact won't be as big today against the Portland Trail Blazers, who rank seventh in pace this month.
Portland has also really struggled in the frontcourt, ranking in the bottom 10 in both offensive and defensive rebound rate. They have allowed the league's most fantasy points per game to opposing power forwards and the sixth-most to centers.
