3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/11/19

James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

Price: $13,300

If you've been looking for reasons to fade James Harden, you can probably use his appearance on the injury report as an excuse not to pay up for him today. He's dealing with only a sore shoulder, though, and he's listed as probable after the Houston Rockets got a day off on Sunday, so we shouldn't be too concerned.

His recent numbers don't need much introduction. What started off as a hot streak is now up to a 29-game run of absurd production. Since December 13, Harden has averaged 41.8 points, 7.7 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 38.5 minutes per game. That's good for 66.8 FanDuel points per game.

He's dropped at least 30 real-world points in each of those 29 games. The next-longest streak of games with 30-plus points since the 1960's is 16. Nobody except Wilt Chamberlain has ever had a streak of at least 29 games.

The Dallas Mavericks own the NBA's 10th-best rebound rate, but at the deadline, they moved DeAndre Jordan, who ranks third among all centers in ESPN's Defensive Real Plus-Minus metric, as well as Wesley Matthews, who ranked above-average at the shooting guard slot.

While Harden is all but matchup-proof at this point, it certainly doesn't hurt his prospects for tonight that Dallas' defense could be on the decline.
