3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/8/18

Paul George, SF, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $8,600

Paul George is another guy who could benefit in a big way from injury news tonight, as Russell Westbrook is questionable. The Oklahoma City Thunder don't have a ton of incentive to play him unless he's definitely 100% with a soft matchup against a short-handed Los Angeles Lakers, who the Thunder have outscored by 57 points in their three meetings this season.

With Westbrook off the floor, George's usage rate jumps from 23.9% to 34.7% and his FanDuel points per minute go from 1.01 to 1.18.

And even if Westbrook does play, George still offers plenty of value. He has at least 50 FanDuel points in three of his last six games, averaging 46.5 per game (better than five-times value on today's salary) in that stretch. The Lakers aren't likely to slow him down, either -- they're allowing top-seven fantasy production to opponents at both forward spots.
