3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 12/16/16
Blake Griffin, PF, Los Angeles Clippers
FanDuel Price: $8,900
Blake Griffin is having a solid fantasy season so far, averaging 21.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 4.7 assists -- good for 39.6 FanDuel points per game.
His matchup may not look great on the surface, as the Miami Heat play with a slow pace and solid defense, but are in the top-10 for rebounds allowed per game to opponents, while also allowing the ninth-highest field goal percentage on shots from between 3 and 10 feet from the basket -- where nearly 20% of Griffin's field goal attempts have come from.
With this sneaky-good matchup, we have Griffin projected as the fourth-highest fantasy scorer of the day, making him a steal at $8,900.
