3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 11/13/18

James Harden, PG/SG, Houston Rockets

DraftKings Price: $10,500

While it may be tempting to use Golden State Warriors small forward Kevin Durant after his 71.25 DraftKings points outburst, so, too, will a lot of other people. Instead of following the crowd, why not look elsewhere for someone to stabilize your lineup?

Durant has a cake matchup against the Atlanta Hawks, but that could come back to hurt his fantasy potential as the Warriors have a shot at blowing them out, which means Durant has a solid chance of getting rest in the fourth quarter. As such, if you want to pivot, consider Houston Rockets guard James Harden.

Harden is coming off a 40-point (65.75 DraftKings points) effort against the Indiana Pacers. The Rockets will need that type of effort again as they are likely to use a thin rotation, with eight players when they take on the Denver Nuggets at the Pepsi Center.

Harden, as it so happens, loves to face Denver, especially in Colorado. He has scored at least 64 DraftKings points in four of his past six games against them, including both away games in that span.

We have him projected as the highest DraftKings scorer of the night. That includes Durant, and you get Harden at a $700 discount.
