3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/9/18
DeMar DeRozan, SG, Toronto Raptors
Price: $9,300
DeMar DeRozan isn't someone you'll likely want in your lineup if Kyle Lowry plays, but Lowry went down hard on his back last night and is being re-evaluated on Tuesday, leaving his status up in the air.
When DeRozan hasn't had to share the court with Lowry this year, he absolutely dominates the touches in the Toronto Raptors' offense, boasting a 42.1% usage and 19.7% assist rate with an average of 1.44 FanDuel points per minute.
A matchup with the Miami Heat is a rough one, which is a big reason why DeRozan's not a strong play if Lowry suits up. But even in a tough matchup, a usage rate north of 40% provides a ton of upside.
