3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/2/17
James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets
FanDuel Price: $12,000
James Harden is coming off of a couple of down games, but those were both blowouts, and you shouldn't let them scare you off his huge upside tonight.
He hasn't quite been Russell Westbrook with his triple-doubles, but he's averaging 28.4 points, a league-high 11.5 assists and 8.2 rebounds in 36.4 minutes per game. The Beard also owns a strong 34.0% usage, 12.5% total rebound rate and 51.5% assist rate -- all career highs.
He brings that production into a solid matchup tonight. The Atlanta Hawks have played at an above-average pace this season, and while they have been solid on the defensive end (ranking fifth in defensive rating), they have allowed top-10 fantasy production to opponents at both guard positions.
Our models also project Harden as the top fantasy scorer on the slate.
