3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 12/21/18

Nikola Vucevic, C, Orlando Magic

Price: $9,000

After missing one game, Nikola Vucevic will be back in action tonight against the Chicago Bulls.

Even before we take into account his matchup, Vooch's price tag feels way too low tonight. At $9,000, he needs only 45.0 FanDuel points to return 5.0 per $1,000. That's something he has done in three of his last five games, as well as 7 of his last 10, 13 of his last 15 and 18 of his 29 games on the year. He's averaging 48.0 per game over his last 10 and 44.1 on the year, and in a neutral matchup this price tag would already put him in play.

The Bulls aren't a neutral matchup though. They rank 19th in the NBA in defensive rating and a lowly 28th in rebound rate, allowing their opponents to average the league's 10th-most points and most rebounds per game. They allow the third-most fantasy points per minute to opposing centers, and Vucevic should feast in this one.
