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

Steph Curry, PG, Golden State Warriors

Price: $11,000

The last time the Warriors and the Thunder faced off, we were treated to one of the best games of the season and, more importantly for fantasy purposes, a high-scoring game. Even their first meeting in February, which didn't go to overtime, saw the teams score 224 combined points.

We can expect another high scoring affair tonight, and that makes it a great game to target in daily fantasy. These are the two highest scoring teams in the league in terms of points per game, and the Thunder rank 10th in the league in pace while the Warriors rank 2nd, meaning this is likely to be the most fast-paced game of the night.

Steph Curry is putting together one of the greatest offensive seasons of all time, and that's predictably leading to huge fantasy numbers. He leads the league with 55.2 FanDuel points per game over the past month, and he has as many games with above 60 fantasy points in that span as with below 50. Over that month he's averaging an absurd 36.7 points as well as 7.3 assists and 5.6 rebounds per game. His 35.4 percent Usage Rate is the second highest among players seeing at least 15 minutes per game in that month.

Despite their meltdown last night, Oklahoma City is one of the top teams in the West, and one of the few that are strong enough to threaten to force a close game with the Warriors. That's always encouraging for Curry, who tends to sit out for entire fourth quarters in blowouts.

Oklahoma City is giving up top-10 fantasy production to opponents at both guard positions, and our numbers project Curry to put up the highest fantasy score of the night.
