3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/26/19

Nikola Jokic, C, Denver Nuggets

Price: $11,000

On the other side of that matchup, the Nuggets' 120.25-point implied total is the slate's highest. A matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder and their third-ranked defensive rating is never going to be an exciting spot, but on a short slate, one that oddsmakers expect to offer a dearth of scoring, that becomes far less concerning than usual. That's especially true since oddsmakers have OKC implied to concede the most points on the slate.

Nikola Jokic is having a career year, averaging career-high clips in all of points (20.4), rebounds (10.8), assists (7.7) and combined steals and blocks (2.0) per game. That has translated to big fantasy numbers as he's averaging 47.7 FanDuel points per game on the year, and he has topped 50 fantasy points in four of his last six games.

Despite that recent success, his salary has fallen by $400 tonight -- likely thanks to the matchup with the Thunder. Getting Jokic at a discount on a slate where the matchup isn't much of a concern leaves him well under-priced.
