3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/15/16

Paul George, SF, Indiana Pacers

Price: $8,700

Paul George's fantasy numbers took a steep fall in December, but they have increased every month since then. Over the past month, he's averaging 40.5 FanDuel points per game, putting up 23.4 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game. He's also sporting a big 31.0 percent Usage Rate.

The Celtics are a strong defensive team, ranking third in Defensive Efficiency, but that doesn't stop George from being a great play tonight.

Both of these teams rank in the top 10 in Pace, making efficiency less important, given the high number of possessions and shots we'll see. Due largely in part to that fast pace, Boston also allows the fifth-most rebounds per game to opponents. These numbers have led Boston to give up the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing small forwards and the 5th-most to power forwards on the year.

George is an adept rebounder with a big Usage Rate, and with all the possessions he's going to see tonight, he's in for a big fantasy game, regardless of Boston's strong defense.
