3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 10/24/17
DeMarcus Cousins boasts a big 35.0% usage rate this season, giving him elite upside tonight against Portland. Which other high-priced NBA players should be on your radar for Tuesday's daily fantasy basketball contests?

DeMarcus Cousins, C, New Orleans Pelicans

Price: $11,400

It doesn't look like there's any reason to be concerned about whether or not the New Orleans Pelicans can support two elite fantasy producers in the frontcourt.

Not only are DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis both averaging better than 50 fantasy points per game this season, but they're also each averaging more than 35 minutes per game with usage rates over 30%.

While Davis is playing more minutes and doing better work on the glass, Cousins looks to have the higher offensive upside. He's also available at a significantly lower price point tonight.

His 35.0% usage rate ranks third in the NBA (minimum of 20 minutes played), and that has come with marks above 32.5% in each game. Even in sort of a tough matchup against Jusuf Nurkic, that workload gives him a ton of upside, especially with the rest of the Portland frontcourt being much weaker on the defensive end.
