3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/24/17

Kristaps Porzingis, PF, New York Knicks

Price: $9,300

Kristaps Porzingis hasn't been posting consistently big fantasy numbers recently, but his usage has been really encouraging.

He has attempted at least 19 field goals in five of his last six games (including at least 20 in four of those). Porzingis' usage rate in that time sits at 32.7%, and while he's only averaging 22.7 points per game in that span, his 38.3% field goal percentage in those games (compared to a 46.7% overall this season and .441 over his career) means that we can expect improved efficiency moving forward. All that gives him huge scoring upside while he's seeing so much volume.

Porzingis finds himself in a great matchup tonight as he is taking on an Atlanta Hawks team that has allowed the seventh-most FanDuel points per game to power forwards.

The Hawks rank 27th in rebound rate, which should be a boon for the Zinger, who doesn't usually do a ton of damage on the boards (though his 12.7% rebound rate is up from last season).

Defensively, Atlanta also ranks in the bottom five in defensive rating, and the Hawks are also allowing a top-five field goal percentage in the 10-to-14 foot range, where Porzingis leads the league in field goal attempts per game. This is a great spot for Porzingis to regain some efficiency on the offensive end, and that gives him some massive upside.
