3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/26/18
Back to a full workload, James Harden has massive upside against a weak New Orleans defense tonight. Which other high-priced NBA players should be on your DFS radar?

Victor Oladipo, SG, Indiana Pacers

Price: $9,900

On the other side of the Cavs/Pacers matchup, which has a solid 221.5-point over/under, Cleveland's defensive struggles have been very real. They rank last in defensive rating this season (109.9) and have been especially bad over the last month (113.6).

They're a below-average transition defense and allow the league's most points per isolation possession by a huge margin, making them a particularly good matchup for Victor Oladipo, who ranks third in field goal attempts per game in transition. He doesn't do a ton of work in isolation, though he does rank in the top-30 in isolation possessions per game. He has been very efficient in those looks, scoring in the 87.5th percentile, per NBA.com.

Dipo isn't a guy that racks up big peripheral numbers -- he relies primarily on his scoring for fantasy points -- and while that often leaves him with a lower floor than most players in his price range, a matchup with a Cavs team that allows opponents the fifth-most points per game leaves him with a huge ceiling.
