3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 10/27/16
Chris Paul opens the season with a great matchup against Portland. What other high-priced players should be in your lineup tonight?

DeMarcus Cousins, C, Sacramento Kings

FanDuel Price: $9,800

DeMarcus Cousins had his minutes somewhat limited last night, only playing 25 as the Sacramento Kings took a 19-point lead into half time and didn't need to lean heavily on their superstar center.

While the Spurs are still a great defensive team, replacing Tim Duncan with Pau Gasol is a big defensive downgrade at center, meaning this matchup isn't as bad for Cousins as it may look on the surface.

He also tends to see the kind of volume to overcome tough matchups for fantasy purposes. Last season, he led the NBA with a with a 35.2% usage rate, while he attempted fewer than 10 field goals only four times in 65 games. He ranked third in the NBA with 47.7 FanDuel points per game last year, and you can generally count on him to get his numbers regardless of matchup.
