3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/30/18

Ben Simmons, PF, Philadelphia 76ers

Price: $9,600

With Joel Embiid (head) on the sidelines, Ben Simmons stands to see an increase in fantasy value over the remainder of the regular season. The 76ers' star rookie has already put up some solid fantasy numbers in recent games, averaging 45.9 FanDuel points per game over his last seven -- and that has come while playing only 31.3 minutes per game and sporting a low 17.5% usage rate.

In the 11 games he has played without Embiid this year, Simmons has averaged 34.5 minutes per game, and looking at all the minutes played with Embiid off the floor in Philadelphia, Simmons' 25.9% usage rate is a team-high. Already in good fantasy form, a significant increase in workload should mean big things tonight and moving forward.

Simmons also has the benefit of drawing a plus matchup tonight, taking on an Atlanta Hawks team that ranks bottom-10 in defensive rating, bottom-10 in rebound rate and top-3 in pace since the All-Star break.
