3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 12/20/18

DeAndre Jordan, C, Dallas Mavericks

Price: $7,200

Revenge game narrative aside, the Clippers make for a pretty good matchup for DeAndre Jordan tonight.

Their 16th-ranked rebound rate is second-worst on the slate, and they allow the league's fifth-most fantasy points per minute to opposing centers. The 1.21 per minute they allow at the five is the most that any team on the slate allows to opponents at any position.

Jordan has a reasonable floor for this price-point, topping 30 FanDuel points in four of his last six games, with no fewer than 25 in that stretch. What is really appealing on a short slate, though, is his upside.

Jordan's last nine games include four with at least 40 FanDuel points, with three of those four including 45-plus. That's better than six-times value on today's salary, and in a plus matchup he's a big threat to show off that upside again on Thursday.
