4 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/2/16

James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

Price: $10,700

Despite the Rockets' struggles this year, James Harden has proven himself to once again be one of the best fantasy players in the league.

He averaged 50.6 FanDuel points per game in February, going above 50 in 6 of his 10 games, and averaging 31.5 points, 6.9 assists and 6.5 rebounds per game. He also leads the league with eight games of 60-plus FanDuel points on the season, and his upside in any game is huge.

The Houston/New Orleans game is a good one to target for daily fantasy purposes tonight. There should be plenty of possessions to go around, with Houston ranking 7th and New Orleans 11th in Pace, and scoring will come easily, with both teams ranking in the bottom five in Defensive Efficiency.

Harden is at least worth consideration regardless of matchup at this point, but in a game that offers so much fantasy appeal, and against a Pelicans team that is giving up the sixth most fantasy points to opposing shooting guards, he offers what might be the most upside of any player on the slate.
