3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/3/17
DeMarcus Cousins is in a great spot tonight playing up in pace against the Nuggets. What other high-priced players should you target?

DeMarcus Cousins, C, Sacramento Kings

FanDuel Price: $11,200

With the Sacramento Kings playing at a much slower pace than they did last season, DeMarcus Cousins has suffered a drop in fantasy production. Fortunately, his salary has fallen a bit to reflect that.

Cousins is actually producing more efficient fantasy numbers this season, averaging a career-high 72.0 FanDuel points per 100 possessions, up significantly from the 66.6 he posted last season. When he is playing up in pace, like he will be on Tuesday against a Denver Nuggets team that ranks seventh in that category, he still has tremendous upside.

The Nuggets have been fairly stout against centers, but Cousins is the only true top-end fantasy player on the slate (and the only one priced above $10,000), and with this matchup being better than it may appear on the surface, his upside makes him a very strong play.
