3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/9/17
Russell Westbrook is our top projected point scorer tonight in a matchup he should dominate against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Rudy Gobert, C, Utah Jazz

FanDuel Price: $8,000

Rudy Gobert double-doubled again Wednesday, which pushes his average line over his past 6 games to 13.7 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.7 blocks, and 36.9 FanDuel points. He'll look to maintain that streak in a matchup against the Dallas Mavericks.

A matchup with Dallas doesn't jump off the page for centers in terms of fantasy points, but there's reason to believe Gobert should dominate. For starters, Dallas has been the worst rebounding team in the league, posting a pathetic 46.2% rebounding rate. That mark is even worse with Andrew Bogut out of the lineup, dropping to 45.9%, per nbawowy.com.

They've also had no way to keep opponents out of the paint, allowing a 66.5% field goal percentage on shots from within three feet of the basket, the third-highest mark in the league. It should come as no surprise, then, that Gobert has abused Dallas in three matchups this season, averaging 43.3 FanDuel points, highlighted by a 27-point, 25-rebound performance against them just 10 games ago.

Dallas has no answer for Gobert, and he should have no trouble reaching value, even as the most expensive center on the slate. He is a viable play in all formats tonight.
