3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/28/18
Dwight Howard, C, Charlotte Hornets
Price: $8,700
Dwight Howard isn't a super consistent fantasy producer, but he has flashed the kind of ceiling we'd expect from a higher-priced player. He has posted at least 59.9 FanDuel points in three of his last eight games, while maxing out at 63.5 during that span.
Howard has had a few quiet games during that stretch, which has served to keep his salary down for the time being. On the other hand, his shaky floor gets a boost from the big minutes he has played over his last few games, having logged at least 33.5 in each of his last three (averaging 34.5 per).
The Cleveland Cavaliers also make for a terrific matchup, ranking 29th in defensive rating and 24th in rebound rate while playing at a top-12 pace since the All-Star break. They're not likely to slow Dwight down much, and while the increased minutes and favorable matchup tell us that he is at least worth consideration in cash games, his huge upside means he's an especially strong tournament play.
