3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/23/18
James Harden leads the league in fantasy scoring, and a weak Minnesota defense isn't likely to slow him down. Which other high-priced NBA players should be on your DFS radar on Friday?

Anthony Davis, C, New Orleans Pelicans

Price: $11,700

The only player out-scoring Harden over the past month is Anthony Davis, who is averaging 58.6 FanDuel points per game. That torrid pace comes as little surprise, with DeMarcus Cousins' absence leaving Brow carrying the New Orleans Pelicans.

In nine contests played without Boogie this season, Davis is averaging 59.6 FanDuel points in 37.0 minutes. His last three games include explosions for 91.4 and 78.5 FanDuel points (the 5th- and 11th-highest single-game fantasy scores for any player this season).

Those dominant numbers hold up over the larger sample of total minutes Davis has played with Cousins off the floor this year -- he boasts 32.9% usage rate, 16.2% assist rate, 18.7% rebound rate, and 1.69 FanDuel points per minute (per NBAWowy).

The Miami Heat are a rough matchup, but anywhere south of $12,000 is a bargain for Davis with the way he has produced without Cousins.
