3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/3/17
Isaiah Thomas, PG, Boston Celtics
FanDuel Price: $10,500
Isaiah Thomas' offensive output has been absolutely absurd lately. He's averaging a league-high 33.7 points per game over the past month, which is 3.6 more than any other player. He has at least 35 real-world points in 9 of his 15 games in that span, and he is coming off of back-to-back games with at least 40. He's also averaging 6.9 assists per game in that span and has a hefty 35.2% usage rate in 36.3 minutes per game.
He brings those huge numbers into a great matchup today against the Los Angeles Lakers, who will be in a tough spot on the road on the second half of a back-to-back.
The Lakers have allowed top-six fantasy production to point guards this season. They have also played at a top-10 pace this season while ranking only 29th in defensive rating, and they really haven't shown anything to indicate that they might be able to slow down Thomas' roll here.
