3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/28/18
Russell Westbrook has a massive ceiling against a weak Dallas defense tonight. Which other high-priced NBA players should be on your DFS radar for Wednesday's contests?

Kevin Durant, SF, Golden State Warriors

Price: $9,800

Kevin Durant hasn't been bad since the All-Star break, but his production has been pretty tame -- he's scored between 41 and 44 FanDuel points in each of his three games. You don't have to look much further to see some of his upside, though, as he went off for 69.4 FanDuel points in his final game before the break.

This short stretch of quiet games has his price tag way down tonight, as this is the first time he has been below $10,000 since the third game of the season.

The Washington Wizards haven't been a great fantasy matchup this season, except at the small forward spot. They allow below-average fantasy numbers at the four other positions, but top-five numbers at small forward.

This is largely thanks to what has been some pretty shaky defense from Otto Porter, who has allowed the third-most points per possession in isolation among the 84 players that have defended at least 50 such possessions on the year. He also ranks in only the 34th percentile in defensive efficiency against pick-and-roll ball handlers.

Over 30% of Durant's offensive possessions this season have come on those plays, meaning he should have no trouble working Porter on the offensive end in this one.
