3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/28/17
John Wall is in a great spot in what should be a fast-paced, high-scoring matchup with the Warriors. Which other high-priced players should you target?

Jimmy Butler, SF, Chicago Bulls

FanDuel Price: $9,300

The Denver Nuggets own the league's worst defensive rating in February, checking in with an ugly clip of 116.0. They also own the worst mark in the new year (116.6) and on the season (113.2). Any way you cut it, the Nuggets are playing terrible defense.

Jimmy Butler, on the other hand, has been producing very well lately. He has at least 40 FanDuel points in 8 of his last 10 games, with a pair of games above 50 in that span. He has averaged 16.7 field goal attempts per game this season, but that volume has really picked up recently as Butler has averaged 20 shots per game over his last three.

Denver ranks 24th against small forwards from a fantasy standpoint this season, and that coupled with his high-volume ways make Butler a great play tonight.
