3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 12/14/17
Bringing his high usage rate into a great matchup with the Nets, Kristaps Porzingis offers elite upside tonight. Which other high-priced players should be on your radar on Thursday?

Andre Drummond, C, Detroit Pistons

Price: $9,400

The work Andre Drummond has done on the glass this season has been ridiculous. He leads the league with in both rebounds per game (15.1) and total rebound rate (25.6%). In fact, that rebound rate is on pace to not only be a career-high, but to be the seventh-highest mark in NBA history. His 16 games of 15-plus rebounds are the most in the NBA, and there are only two other players with even half that many.

He has also expanded his offensive game, and his .564 true shooting percentage is his best since the 2013-14 season, while he's averaging 13.7 points and 3.8 assists -- by far a career-high -- per game.

The Atlanta Hawks are terrible on the boards, ranking bottom-three in total rebound rate this season, and they're also allowing a top-five field goal percentage in the restricted area, where 7.5 of Drummond's 9.9 field goal attempts per game have come from. They're giving up top-six fantasy numbers to both power forwards and centers, and make for an ideal matchup for Drummond.
