3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 10/30/17
James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets
Price: $11,000
James Harden's value takes a slight hit now that Trevor Ariza is back in the lineup playing big minutes, but his price tag is pretty tame tonight in a matchup with a Philadelphia 76ers team that is allowing top-12 fantasy production to opposing point guards -- a role Harden is filling while Chris Paul remains on the shelf.
Harden hasn't been playing especially big minutes, but 34.7 per game are perfectly swell, especially with efficiency numbers like his. His 33.8% usage rate is good for sixth in the NBA (min. 50 minutes played), while his elite 50.6% assist rate is right in line with what he posted last season.
The Sixers sit bottom-10 in defensive rating. Combining that with their top-11 pace means they continue to allow plenty of fantasy production.
