3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/19/19

Kevin Durant, SF, Golden State Warriors

Price: $9,500

Getting a Warriors game that projects to be close also creates plenty of appeal on the Golden State side, as we're generally dealing with plenty of blowout risk with their top players.

Combining that with a matchup against the Timberwolves, who rank only 24th in defensive rating on the year, makes tonight an especially good time to look at some Warriors.

Despite injuries and blowouts, Kevin Durant has averaged 34.2 minutes per game over his last five. If we expand our view back to his last 12 games, that average jumps to 35.6 per game. Averaging an elite 1.31 FanDuel points per minute on the year, that kind of playing time should immediately catch your eye when he's this cheap.

He hasn't quite been producing at that clip lately, which is part of what's keeping his cost down, but Boogie's absence positions him well to see a bounce-back in efficiency. Durant's averaging only 1.10 FanDuel points per minute with Cousins on the floor this season, compared to 1.34 with Cousins off.
