3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/22/16

Jimmy Butler, SF, Chicago Bulls

FanDuel Price: $8,600

While the absence of Dwyane Wade inflated Butler's numbers a bit in his last game, he has really stepped up his fantasy production recently, with 40-plus FanDuel points in six of his last eight games, after only cracking that mark once in his first six games this season.

That production increase hasn't been a fluke either, as he owns a 29.5% usage rate over those last eight games, compared to a 24.5% to start the season. He has also played at least 38 minutes in four of his last five games and is all but locked in to a big workload on any given night.

He brings that workload into a solid matchup tonight, as the Chicago Bulls will be playing up in pace against a Denver Nuggets team that ranks 7th in pace compared to only 22nd for the Bulls this season. His minutes and usage rate are already solid, and being afforded a few more possessions than normal against an uptempo Denver team gives him a nice boost in value as well.
