3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/8/17
Nikola Jokic, PF, Denver Nuggets
FanDuel Price: $10,100
After a couple disappointing games following the All-Star break, Nikola Jokic has bounced back with at least 45 FanDuel points in each of his last three, posting two triple-doubles and averaging 49.9 FanDuel points during that stretch.
He hasn't been playing especially big minutes -- he's averaging only 31.8 over those three games -- but he ranks ninth with 1.3 FanDuel points per minute (min. 200 minutes) this season. You don't need huge minutes out of Jokic to get big fantasy production.
The Nuggets will be hosting the Wizards, who are on the second half of a back-to-back. That should make this matchup a little beat easier on Jokic than it would normally be, while Washington has already been allowing top-five fantasy production to opposing power forwards.
Jokic did miss Monday's game with an illness, and is listed as questionable for tonight, so make sure you check on his status closer to tip-off before locking him into your lineup.
