3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/28/19

Paul George, SF, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $11,300

A common theme lately -- Russell Westbrook being in play means Paul George is too.

The big implied total and the relatively solid matchup against an Embiid-less Sixers team stands to benefit PG13, as well. In addition to being worse on D sans Embiid, the Sixers' team rebound rate is also 4.5 percentage points lower when Embiid is on the bench. Boban Marjanovic is also out, and that leaves the Sixers with no active players who own a season-long rebound rate above 15.0%.

George has posted Westbrook-esque consistency over his last 15 games. He has only one game with fewer than 40 FanDuel points in that span, and he has eclipsed 60 fantasy points in seven of the 15 while falling below 55 only six times.

The high implied total makes his 28.6 points and 4.3 assists per game easy to like, and he also has a good shot to outperform his season-average of 8.1 rebounds per game in this spot. For an added bonus, his 2.3 steals per game are tops in the NBA, and Philly allows opponents the seventh-most steals per game on the year.
