3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target for 10/26/16

James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

FanDuel Price: $11,200

James Harden will be running the point in Mike D'Antoni's offense for the Houston Rockets, and he looks poised to once again be the top fantasy shooting guard in the league.

He posted a big 32.4% usage rate last season -- ranking 4th among players that played at least 10 minutes per game -- and while that mark is high enough that it would be hard to increase, Harden playing point guard on the offensive end will go a long way to keeping the ball in his hands and giving him every fantasy opportunity he can handle.

He played a crazy 38.1 minutes per game last season, but even if his minutes dip this year, his efficiency will keep his fantasy value from falling too far. His 1.2 FanDuel points per minute were good for 6th among players with at least 100 minutes on the year.

He is in an especially good spot tonight against the Los Angeles Lakers. The game has a massive 222.5 over-under, and the Lakers could not stop guards last season, allowing the second-most fantasy points to point guards as well as the most points to shooting guards.
