3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/26/19

Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Minnesota Timberwolves

Price: $11,600

It's not always advisable to go after players whose salary is increasing steeply, but it's hard to ignore what Karl-Anthony Towns has done since the All-Star break.

One of only two players out-scoring Giannis in fantasy in that stretch, he's put up 56.9 FanDuel points in 33.0 minutes per game, averaging 31.4 points and 14.7 boards. He has better than 60 FanDuel points in 6 of those 13 games, with fewer than 45 in only one.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been eliminated from playoff contention, but even being all but eliminated, they've given Towns at least 33 minutes of run in each of the last three games, so it doesn't look like they're going to dial his playing time back too much (for now).

He also gets a solid matchup tonight against the Los Angeles Clippers, who rank a middling 18th in defensive rating and 15th in rebound rate on the year, allowing top-three fantasy efficiency to opposing centers.
