The Beautiful Blend of Paul George

We may not have the slightest idea what happens to Paul George this summer, but for the time being, he’s all in with the Thunder and he’s doing his thing as a top-25 FanDuel producer this season.

Over the last week of hoops in particular, George has been a top-15 producer at 48 FanDuel points per game. He’s hit at least five-times value in 4 of his last 6 games, including a nearly eight-times value explosion against the Warriors, and a six-times value game against the Grizzlies.

George is having a career year from three -- knocking down 43 percent from beyond the arc -- and trails only James Harden in made three-pointers this season. Combine that with his more than 2 steals a night, and George offers up this beautiful blend of fantasy goodness where he’s extremely effective at two of FanDuel’s most valuable categories.

In his nine games so far during the month of February, George has made 40 treys and snatched 21 steals, which works out to 20 FanDuel points per game on just those two categories alone.

He may be on the higher end of salaries, but George has shown he’s well worth the cost more times than not.
