3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/17/18

Stephen Curry, PG, Golden State Warriors

Price: $9,800

A more budget-friendly stud, Stephen Curry is also in a great spot against Chicago.

The Bulls have allowed the 5th-most FanDuel points per game to opposing point guards this season while sitting only 25th in defensive rating, and they're particularly weak in the areas Curry excels. They allow an above-average three-point percentage and the fifth-most made three-pointers per game, along with ranking in the bottom-half of the league in defending shooters coming off screens.

Curry ranks second with 9.8 three-point attempts per game and averages the league's third-most field goal attempts per game when coming off screens. Like with Westbrook, there's some blowout risk here (the Warriors are nine-point favorites), but Curry has been very consistent recently, not scoring fewer than 40 FanDuel points in any of his last 10 games while averaging 49.6 per game in that span. That represents better than 5.0 points per $1,000 of salary at tonight's price.
