3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/22/17
LeBron James offers elite upside in a phenomenal matchup against the Nets tonight. What other high-priced players should be on your radar in daily fantasy?

James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

Price: $11,600

James Harden has been on fire over the last few weeks, topping 54 FanDuel points in each of his last seven games (something he did only three times in his first 10 games this season), averaging a massive 65.7 per game in that span -- by far the most in the NBA in that time.

The return of Chris Paul hasn't hurt his value either, and he has games of 67.9 and 54.5 FanDuel points with usage rates of 40.1% and 32.7% since Paul returned.

Even with Paul back, Harden is also spending plenty of time at the point (he's the only real point guard on the team besides Paul), and that makes tonight's matchup really appealing, with the Denver Nuggets allowing the league's second-most FanDuel points per game to opposing point guards.

The Nuggets also rank below-average in defensive rating, and are likely to get worse without Paul Millsap (wrist), who the Nuggets have a defensive rating 3.6 points better with on the floor than off. This leave's Houston with the day's second-highest implied total, at 118.0.
