Stephen Curry, PG, Golden State Warriors

Price: $10,400

On the other side of that game, the Warriors have a slate-high 117.0-point implied total.

The Houston Rockets rank an ugly 24th in defensive rating this season, and it doesn't get any better with Paul out of action. Their defensive rating is 5.7 points better in the 865 minutes with Paul on the court than in the 876 he hasn't played this year.

Stephen Curry is an up-and-down fantasy producer, but he's been putting up solid numbers recently. His last five games have seen him top 50 FanDuel points four times, and his eight games before that saw him top 60 FanDuel points three times.

Curry's inconsistency makes him a bit of a tough play in cash (especially if you want to pay up for Harden, which limits how much you can play other high-priced players), but his upside makes him a terrific tournament option.
