3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/21/19
Emerging from the All-Star break, James Harden's production should pick up again with a plus matchup against the Lakers. What other high-priced players should be on your radar on Thursday?

James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

Price: $12,600

James Harden's fantasy value had started to lose some luster as we entered the All-Star break. He went four consecutive games without hitting 70 FanDuel points -- it's no wonder his salary plunged by $1,400.

Priced like your run-of-the-mill stud instead of a slate-breaking monster, Harden's numbers from those last four games (51.7, 43.9, 61.1 and 51.0 FanDuel points) hold up just fine, especially when you consider two of those games were blowouts of 16 points or more, which both saw him play fewer than 36 minutes.

Harden's last 30 games still have him averaging 38.6 minutes and putting up an absurd 65.7 FanDuel points per game, and a four-game skid should absolutely not sour you on him -- especially when it's caused such a steep drop in price.

Tonight's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers is an appealing one, too, as the Lakers allow the NBA's second-most FanDuel points per minute to shooting guards.
