3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/3/17

James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

Price: $10,900

James Harden has shown a very reliable floor, with 40-plus FanDuel points in seven of nine games (and 39.8 in one of those other two). That has come with a big workload, averaging 36.1 minutes with a 35.0% usage rate and a 48.7% assist rate. While Chris Paul is sidelined, Harden is going to have to continue commanding a huge portion of the Houston offense.

That should mean big things tonight, as the Rockets boast a solid 110.75-point implied total against the Atlanta Hawks.

The Hawks are playing at a top-10 pace while also ranking below average in defensive rating, allowing above-average fantasy production to opponents at both guard positions.

Harden hasn't flashed his massive fantasy ceiling yet, but only one NBA player has more performances of 70-plus fantasy points over the last three seasons than Harden does. Playing a massive role on offense in a good matchup gives him the potential to hit his ceiling, while he also continues to offer one of the highest floors around.
