3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 4/4/19

Jimmy Butler, SG, Philadelphia 76ers

Price: $8,100

At a reasonable price, Jimmy Butler is easy enough to pair with either of the first two studs, and he still offers a solid floor and great ceiling.

Like Giannis, his minutes should be safe in this game. Seven of his last nine games having been decided by fewer than 13 points, and Butler has averaged 35.5 minutes per game in that span. He's fallen below 30 FanDuel points only once (29.8) in that stretch, averaging 39.2 per game -- not far off the 40.5 that would represent five-times value on today's salary.

While the return of Joel Embiid could reduce Butler's usage some, he's actually been a slightly more efficient fantasy producer on a per-minute basis when Embiid suits up.

Also like Giannis, Butler's matchup isn't great tonight, but on such a short, blowout-prone slate, the workload he stands to see in what should be a close game more than makes up for it.
