3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 12/14/16
James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets
FanDuel Price: $11,700
Both the Houston Rockets and Sacramento Kings have been playing with more pace recently than their season-long numbers indicate, and over the past month, Houston ranks 7th while the Kings rank 14th. Combining this with their shaky defenses -- the Rockets rank 21st in defenisve rating and the Kings rank 17th -- makes this game very appealing.
James Harden has had a tremendous fantasy season, only posting fewer than 40 FanDuel points in 1 of his 25 games, while cracking the 50-point mark 17 times -- second-most in the NBA.
A big part of that consistency comes from his well-rounded production, averaging 28.1 points, a league-leading 11.6 assists and 7.6 rebounds per game. He also has plenty of upside, with 6 games of at least 60 FanDuel points, and we project him as the top fantasy scorer for Wednesday.
