3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/7/19
It's a rare thing to see Anthony Davis without the slate's highest salary. Is that enough to make him a top play against Memphis?

Nikola Vucevic, C, Orlando Magic

Price: $9,700

Nikola Vucevic cooled down a bit in December, but he's bounced back in a big way lately, with his last six games including performances of 53.9, 59.8 and 72.8 FanDuel points. Just three games before that stretch, he had another game with 59.8, as well.

It's always concerning to see a guy slump after opening a season on a career-best pace. There's a chance that his first couple months were just running hot, and that he's back down to the same level we've seen before. With this recent resurgence, though, we don't need to have those concerns about Vooch.

Even playing only 30.9 minutes per game, Vucevic is notching career-best marks in all of points (20.2), rebounds (12.0), assists (3.7) and combined blocks and steals (2.2) per game. This has him averaging 44.8 FanDuel points per game on the year while his previous career high was only 37.8. His 1.45 FanDuel points per minute are the eighth-most in the NBA (minimum 250 minutes played).

Vucevic draws a great matchup tonight, taking on a Sacramento Kings team that allows top-10 fantasy efficiency to opposing centers while ranking 26th in rebound rate and 24th in defensive rating.
