3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/7/17
Kemba Walker, PG, Charlotte Hornets
FanDuel Price: $8,900
Kemba Walker dealt with an illness at the end of last week that kept his numbers down, but prior to that, he enjoyed a four-game stretch in which he averaged 42.8 FanDuel points. Six days removed from the initial illness, it would seem that Walker will be all-systems-go tonight in a beautiful matchup against the Brooklyn Nets.
The Nets have allowed more FanDuel points to opposing point guards than any team by a wide margin, and have been especially porous defensively over their past eight games. During that time, opposing point guards have averaged 37 FanDuel points against Brooklyn, which is a significant increase from their combined 30.4 average for the rest of the season.
As a result of the awesome matchup, our projections have Walker scoring 37.1 FanDuel points, which is the second-highest among point guards and the third-highest of any position. He should have no trouble bouncing back against Brooklyn, and with just three games to choose from, he's one of the top plays at any position.
