3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 12/14/18

Kevin Durant, SF, Golden State Warriors

Price: $10,000

A matchup with the Sacramento Kings puts the Golden State offense in a great spot for big scoring tonight, and their 121.5-point implied total is 2.75 points higher than any other team boasts on this slate.

The Kings have allowed the NBA's fourth-most points per game this season, and while all of the Warriors' scorers have big upside, a deeper look into the numbers makes Kevin Durant stand out.

While the Kings have allowed the sixth-highest field goal percentage in the NBA, they're holding opponents to the seventh-lowest three-point percentage. Only 27% of the made field goals they've allowed this year have come from three-point range, which is slightly below-average, ranking 16th.

53.7% of Curry's made field goals this year have come from downtown, while only 16.8% of Durant's have. KD leads the Warriors in fantasy production (49.8 FanDuel points per game to Curry's 44.7), and he also has a slight edge in usage over Curry (32.2% to 31.6%). This matchup should make the difference even wider than usual, and Durant is the Warrior you want in your lineups tonight.
