3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/8/17

Isaiah Thomas, PG, Boston Celtics

FanDuel Price: $10,400

Isaiah Thomas has actually "disappointed" in his past two games, averaging just 41.9 FanDuel points. That might not seem like a disappointment, but after he averaged 52.5 FanDuel points in the five previous games, it is a slight disappointment

Tonight, he will take on the Sacramento Kings team that didn't believe in him, basically giving him away after watching him average 20.3 points and 6.3 assists for them. You might be of the thought process that revenge narratives aren't a thing, but Thomas has averaged 43.7 FanDuel points in three games against the Kings over the past two seasons.

Even if you don't believe in revenge games, this is a beautiful matchup for one of the league's elite scorers. Sacramento ranks 26th in defensive rating and has allowed the 10th-most FanDuel points per game to opposing point guards. Starting point guard Darren Collison ranks 70th among point guards in defensive real plus-minus.

Sacramento has also really struggled to defend the three-point line, giving up the second-most threes per game. Thomas has scored 32.1 percent of his total points from behind the arc this season, and he has averaged 10.2 three-point attempts per game since January 1st. For some reference, Stephen Curry leads the NBA this season with 9.9 three-point attempts per game.

Thomas should be able to produce in this one, with the only real concern being blowout potential with DeMarcus Cousins suspended.
