3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/15/17
James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets
FanDuel Price: $12,000
After a short stretch of somewhat disappointing fantasy performances, at least by his standards, James Harden bounced back in a big way in his last outing, posting a 38-point triple-double and racking up 66.5 fantasy points on Sunday.
Even during his little slump, workload was never an issue. He has averaged 35.8 minutes per game with a 32.1% usage rate since the All-Star break. There's little reason to worry about Harden, whose per-game average of 53.5 FanDuel points ranks second in the NBA.
He draws an outstanding matchup tonight against the Los Angeles Lakers, who rank dead last in defensive rating over the past month while playing at the league's second-fastest pace. Our models project Harden as the top fantasy scorer on Wednesday's 10-game slate.
