3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/15/18

Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

Price: $9,700

Damian Lillard ranks fifth in the NBA with 36.8 minutes per game over the past month, while his 33.5% usage rate in that span ranks fourth in the NBA.

That huge workload has been a boon for his fantasy consistency. He's topped 50 FanDuel points in 5 of his 10 games in that stretch, and he's posted two of his five highest single-game fantasy scores of the year.

That workload should continue to mean big things tonight in a matchup with the Cavaliers. Cleveland has played uptempo basketball since the All-Star break. In that time, they rank sixth in pace, and their 107.4 defensive rating ranks in the middle of the pack.

This matchup is also particularly good for Dame. He leads the NBA in pick-and-roll possessions per game, while the Cavs have been the league's worst team defending the pick and roll this season.
