3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/16/17

Kevin Durant, SF, Golden State Warriors

Price: $10,500

Even with Stephen Curry (thigh) likely back in the Golden State Warriors' lineup today, Kevin Durant is the star to target against the Boston Celtics.

The Dubs boast the slate's second-highest implied total, and there should be plenty of scoring and fantasy production to go around -- even against a strong Celtics defense. The key is identifying who that production is going to come from.

Durant is less reliant on the three-point shot for his fantasy production than Curry (with 36.4% of his field goal attempts coming from downtown compared to a huge 57.6% for Curry), and that could make a difference tonight.

Boston is allowing the league's fifth-fewest three-point attempts per 100 possessions and the fourth-lowest three-point percentage, leaving them allowing the second-fewest made three-pointers per 100 possessions and the fewest per game.

Durant has a slightly lower usage rate than Curry (27.6% versus 28.7%), but he's playing more minutes per game (34.3 versus 32.3). With the Celtics' ability to take away the three-pointer, it would be no surprise to see Durant also see higher usage tonight, giving him the kind of volume that makes him likely to be the team's top fantasy producer.
