3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/23/18

Chris Paul, PG, Houston Rockets

Price: $8,900

A cheaper way to attack the Wolves' weak defense and the Rockets' high implied total, Chris Paul is a lot easier to pair in a lineup with Davis than Harden would be.

While he doesn't see nearly as many ISO possessions as Harden does, Paul's 5.4 per game still rank fourth in the NBA. Harden will likely be hounded by a strong wing defender in Jimmy Butler, but Paul's isolations should come with a much better matchup, as Minnesota point guard Jeff Teague ranks only 72nd among 96 point guards in ESPN's defensive real plus-minus metric.

Paul hasn't been a consistent fantasy option lately, but his 42.3 FanDuel points per game over his last seven are only 2.2 points below five-times value on today's salary. numberFire's models have him as the best point-per-dollar fantasy value among players priced above $8,000 tonight.
