3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 12/4/17

DeMarcus Cousins, C, New Orleans Pelicans

Price: $11,000

Anthony Davis has been ruled out tonight for the New Orleans Pelicans, and as always, that gives DeMarcus Cousins some massive fantasy value.

Boogie has played two games without Davis this season, averaging 39.0 minutes and 15.5 rebounds per game with an absurd 39.3% usage rate sans AD -- compared to 35.3 minutes and 12.0 rebounds per game and a 33.1% usage rate in games in which Davis has played. Brow has also played fewer than 20 minutes twice this season, and Boogie played at least 39 minutes in each of those games, as well.

If you're looking for an even bigger sample size before jamming Cousins into all of your lineups, Cousins has played 299 minutes with Davis off the floor this season, and he's sporting a 37.4% usage rate, 21.2% rebound rate and averaging a huge 1.59 FanDuel points per minute in that split.

The Golden State Warriors don't represent a particularly good matchup for Cousins, but priced at only $11,000 with Davis out, there aren't any matchups that are worrying enough to take Boogie out of play in this situation.
