3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/10/17

Goran Dragic, PG, Miami Heat

FanDuel Price: $8,100

Goran Dragic has really upped his game for the Miami Heat recently, averaging 39.2 FanDuel points over his past eight games, including 82.9 in two games against the Brooklyn Nets, who he faces on Friday.

Those numbers should come as no surprise, as Brooklyn ranks 27th in defensive efficiency and has had the worst defense against point guards this season. As a result, Miami is projected to outscore their season average by nearly 11 points, which is the largest increase any team is expected to see.

Miami also might be without Dion Waiters, who has averaged more than 16 field goal attempts over his past 10 games. Per nbawowy.com, Dragic has maintained a 28.5% usage rate with Waiters off the floor, as opposed to 24.6% with him. He's also seen a slight increase in fantasy production without Waiters, averaging 1.09 FanDuel points per minute without Waiters, as opposed to 1.01 with him.

The only thing that could Dragic from reaching value is a Miami blowout. However, Miami is on the second half of a back-to-back and this is a road game, so there's reason for optimism that the Nets can keep it close.
