3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/13/18

James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

FanDuel Price: $11,300

James Harden gets a mouthwatering matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. They rank 24th in defensive rating, and they have given up at least 106 points in four straight games -- a span that encompasses bouts versus the Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Pelicans and a then-struggling Cleveland Cavaliers team (even though the Cavs game went to overtime, Cleveland scored 129 in regulation).

As you might expect given the rosy situation, the Houston Rockets boast the day's top implied total (112.25), and the game has the slate's highest over/under (222.0). Over the last four weeks, the 'Wolves have surrendered the fifth-most FanDuel points per game to shooting guards and the fourth-most to point guards. Yes, please.

Our models project Harden for 51.9 FanDuel points, and he's gone for at least 47 FanDuel points in 9 of his last 10 games.
