3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/9/18
Averaging massive numbers since DeMarcus Cousins went down, Anthony Davis boasts elite upside against the 76ers tonight. What other high-priced players should be on your radar on Friday?

Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Minnesota Timberwolves

Price: $9,400

Sitting 19th in rebound rate and 26th in defensive rating, the Chicago Bulls tend to stand out as a promising fantasy matchup for bigs. They have also really struggled defending the post and allow the league's seventh-most points per possession on post-up plays, making this an especially good spot for Karl-Anthony Towns, who gets plenty of offensive looks down low.

A shade over 20% of Towns' offensive possessions are post-ups, and another 21% come as the roll man in pick-and-roll sets -- something the Bulls rank bottom-five at defending.

KAT has double-doubled in 19 of his last 20 games, and while his fantasy production isn't always consistent, he has notched at least 47 FanDuel points (5.0 per $1,000 of salary today) in three of his last seven games.

His minutes are down a bit recently with the Timberwolves having taken part in a few blowouts, but today's seven-point spread isn't especially concerning, and we can expect a full workload for Towns tonight.
