3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/11/19
James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets
Price: $12,400
James Harden is coming off one of his worst fantasy performances of the year, as Sunday's 30.0 FanDuel points were his second-lowest in any game this season.
The fact that 30 fantasy points is a complete collapse by Harden's standards is a testament to his floor, though. He's fallen below 40.0 only four times and below 45.0 only 11 times in 62 games on the year. Of course, you don't pay $12,000 for Harden because of his odds of giving you 45 fantasy points. His upside has been as promising as ever, even with Chris Paul back in the lineup, as he's topped 70 FanDuel points twice in his last 13 games, which includes a season-high 92.4 only five games ago.
Harden also draws a great matchup tonight against the Charlotte Hornets, who boast a bottom-10 defensive rating. They allow top-12 fantasy efficiency to opponents at both point guard and shooting guard, so Harden shouldn't have much trouble bouncing back here.
