3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/9/17
Jimmy Butler has been on fire with Rajon Rondo out of the rotation. Which other high-priced players should be on your radar on Monday?

Jimmy Butler, SF, Chicago Bulls

FanDuel Price: $9,600

Carter-Williams entering the starting lineup has also had a big impact on Jimmy Butler, who has taken on an increased role in the offense, with a 33.3% usage rate in 39.7 minutes per game over his last four.

His fantasy production has been outstanding in that stretch, with games of 47.4, 81.4, 41.2 and 63.5 FanDuel points (58.4 per game). His price tag hasn't caught up with this increased role and production yet, and while he won't remain a 60-fantasy point per game player (even Westbrook only averages 57.8), he's well-positioned to continue as an elite producer moving forward.

The Bulls will be playing way up in pace against the Oklahoma City Thunder, and with his big minutes and usage rate, the additional pace gives Butler a nice bump in fantasy value.
