3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/8/17

Blake Griffin, PF, Los Angeles Clippers

FanDuel Price: $9,400

While it's true that Blake Griffin's FanDuel price has been a bit inflated compared to his salary on DraftKings, he has been worth every penny since the Los Angeles Clippers have decided to give him regular minutes. Over his past four games, Griffin has averaged a robust 47.5 FanDuel points, topping the 48-point mark three times.

Tonight, he will face a New York Knicks team that has struggled with opposing power forwards all season long. New York has allowed the third-most FanDuel points per game to the position, and they sit 23rd in defensive rating. Despite the shot-blocking abilities of Joakim Noah and Kristaps Porzingis, New York has had no luck keeping opponents out of the paint, with 32.5% of opponent's field goal attempts from within three feet of the basket, which is the second-highest mark in the league.

Given Griffin's 31.3% usage rate since returning from injury, he should be a huge part of Los Angeles reaching their 110.25-point implied total (the fifth-highest on the slate). He's a terrific play in all formats.
