3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 12/8/16
Gordon Hayward, SF, Utah Jazz
FanDuel Price: $8,100
Editor's note: Gordon Hayward has been ruled out for tonight's game.
George Hill and Rodney Hood are both out tonight for the Utah Jazz, leaving a ton of opportunity available for Gordon Hayward.
Hayward has a strong 29% usage rate in 35.8 minutes per game on the year, while averaging 37.3 FanDuel points per game. His usage rate hasn't seen a jump with Hill and Hood off the floor this season, but his fantasy efficiency has gone way up, seeing a jump from his usual 1.04 FanDuel points per minute to a strong 1.20 per minute in the 262 minutes he has played with that pair off the floor this season (per NBAWowy).
The Jazz will be playing way up in pace tonight against the Golden State Warriors, affording Hayward a few more possessions than we would usually expect him to see, making this an especially good spot for him.
