3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/6/18

Kemba Walker, PG, Charlotte Hornets

Price: $9,200

Kemba Walker is getting a ton of volume to open the year.

His 31.9% usage rate ranks top-10 in the NBA (minimum 20 minutes played) and is also a career-high by over 2.5%. Even though his playing time is down slightly (to 33.2 minutes per game), this usage has him averaging career-highs in both field goal attempts (20.3) and 3-point attempts (10.4), which he has converted to a career-best 28.0 points per game. To add to that scoring, his 5.8 assists per game are the second-most of his career.

It's not just by his own standards that Kemba has been putting up strong numbers either, as he ranks fifth in the NBA in scoring, second in field goal attempts and second in 3-point attempts per game. He also finds himself in a terrific matchup tonight, taking on the Hawks.

Atlanta has played at the league's second-fastest pace and rank bottom-10 in defensive rating on the season. This combination has them allowing the NBA's third-most points, sixth-most field goals and most 3-pointers made, as well as the second-most assists per game to their opponents.
