3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/2/17
Kawhi Leonard is producing some of the best offensive numbers of his career and has a good matchup against the 76ers tonight. Which other high-priced players should you target for Thursday's NBA DFS contests?

Kawhi Leonard, SF, San Antonio Spurs

FanDuel Price: $10,100

Kawhi Leonard is having the best offensive season of his career, averaging a career-high 25.6 points and 3.2 assists while also sporting personal bests in both usage rate (30.4%) and true shooting percentage (62.3%).

His offensive production has been especially solid recently, and his 28.6 points per game in January were his most in any month this season. As if that all wasn't enough, he's topped 50 FanDuel points in 5 of his last 9 games.

He's not likely to slow down much against the Philadelphia 76ers, who have struggled on defense when Joel Embiid has been out of the lineup this season.

Philly's defensive rating drops from 106.4 in games with him to 112.6 without him -- a mark that would rank 28th in the league. Embiid didn't travel with the team on Wednesday and will likely miss tonight's game. Leonard should do some serious damage on offense against one of the league's weakest defensive units here.
