3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/28/16
Pau Gasol, C, Chicago Bulls
Price: $8,600
Pau Gasol is a bit of a risky play tonight, with his minutes potentially being limited due to some lingering injuries. With that being said, he has an incredible matchup, and has the potential to put up huge numbers, even with limited minutes.
Gasol is sporting an 18.1 percent Total Rebound Rate on the season, which is the second-highest of his career, while also pulling down a career-high 12.5 boards per 36 minutes. He has also been scoring well, putting up 18.9 points per 36, which is a bit above his career average.
The Hawks are a terrific matchup for Gasol here. They rank 27th in Defensive Rebound Rate and dead last in Offensive Rebound Rate and are giving up the 8th-most fantasy points per game to opposing centers.
He grabbed 17 rebounds in the Bulls' last meeting with Atlanta, and with Rebound Rate numbers leaning so heavily in his favor, he has big fantasy potential even with a minutes limit. If he does end up getting bigger playing time, his upside is massive.
