3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/22/19
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.
