3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/1/19
Nikola Jokic offers elite upside in what projects to be a close, high-scoring game against the Rockets. What other high-priced players should be on your radar?

Rudy Gobert, C, Utah Jazz

Price: $9,200

If you're not paying up for Jokic, it's still worth going with a stud at the center spot tonight thanks to Rudy Gobert's elite matchup.

The Atlanta Hawks are 27th in defensive rating and 21st at rebound rate while leading the league in pace. They allow the most points, 13th-most rebounds and 7th-most blocks per game to their opponents.

No stranger to contributing in those areas, Gobert is averaging a career-high 15.0 points to go with 12.8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks (as well as career-highs with 2.2 assists and 0.9 steals) per game on the year.

His 41.5 FanDuel points per game and 1.31 FanDuel points per minute this season are also both career-bests, and he's been especially good recently.

Gobert's last nine games have seen him top 50 FanDuel points five times, with two games of at least 60 in that stretch. He has averaged 48.9 per game over those nine contests, and he's not likely to slow down against the Hawks.
