3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/7/17

Brook Lopez, C, Brooklyn Nets

FanDuel Price: $7,600

Brook Lopez has rebounded from back-to-back clunkers with a pair of 30-plus FanDuel point performances, and looks to carry his momentum into tonight's contest against the Charlotte Hornets.

The Hornets have really struggled against opposing big men this season, allowing the seventh-most FanDuel points per game to the position. They've allowed the eighth-most points per possession in the post, as well as the fifth-most points to opposing bigs in the pick-and-roll, both areas where Lopez thrives.

While this game has a 10.5-point spread, Brooklyn has had no problem keeping it close against Charlotte this season, with all their games being decided by seven points or less. Lopez has played much better in competitive games, highlighted by the 38.3 FanDuel points he's averaged in his two most recent matchups with Charlotte.

Our projections also like Lopez tonight, listing him as the top point-scoring center on the slate. If Brooklyn is able to keep this game relatively close, Lopez should feast on Charlotte's defensive inefficiencies against post players.
