3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 12/5/18
John Wall, PG, Washington Wizards
Price: $9,400
Editor's Note: John Wall has since been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks due to personal reasons.
The Atlanta Hawks have been an outstanding fantasy matchup for point guards, allowing the second-most FanDuel points per 48 minutes to the position.
A deeper dive into their numbers makes that ranking unsurprising, as they own the league's 23rd-ranked defensive rating while playing at the fastest pace, giving up the most points, most assists and most steals per game to the position.
Of John Wall's 42.6 FanDuel points per game, 39.0 (92%) have come from points, assists and steals, so facing the team that is the most generous in the league in each of those categories obviously gives his value a big boost.
This game also has a slate-high 232.0 over/under, and the Washington Wizards' 118.0-point implied total is Wednesday's highest. Wall owns a team-high 29.2%, so he should be a big part of the offensive damage the Wizards are poised to do tonight.
