3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/22/19
With a sharp drop in salary, Russell Westbrook is a top play despite his tough matchup on Friday. What other high-priced players should be on your radar?

Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Minnesota Timberwolves

Price: $10,800

After topping 60 FanDuel points four times in a seven game span, Karl-Anthony Towns cooled off some heading into the All-Star break. He didn't have a bad run, though, still topping 50 twice in his final five games, averaging 46.8 per game.

That stretch included three games decided by double-digit points and one in which he got into serious foul trouble, so the 32.8 minutes per game didn't help his production but also aren't especially concerning as we move forward.

This is a great spot for him to bounce back with some of that upside we saw earlier in the month, as he's taking on a New York Knicks team that owns the NBA's third-worst defensive rating and that allows the 10th-most FanDuel points per minute to opposing centers.

Only the fifth-most expensive player on the slate, our models have KAT going for the day's third-highest fantasy score.
