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

Steph Curry, PG, Golden State Warriors

Price: $10,400

Steph Curry doesn't need a great matchup to be a threat for huge fantasy production, but he has one tonight, and that will always have him in play as one of the top studs on the slate.

The Warriors' game against New York has the highest over/under of the night at 221.5, and as 15.5-point favorites, the Warriors' 118.5 implied total is also the highest mark.

New York ranks 19th with a 107.6 Defensive Efficiency on the year, and their struggles have been especially evident against point guards. Jose Calderon, who is likely to start at the point for the Knicks tonight, ranks 12th on the team with a 109 Defensive Rating, and the Knicks are giving up the 12th-most fantasy points to opposing point guards, their worst mark against any position.

Over the past month, Curry is averaging 49.2 FanDuel points per game and posting a league-high 33.0 points as well as 6.1 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game. He also has a huge 34.2 percent Usage Rate in that span, the third-highest among players averaging 10-plus minutes.

Our projections have Curry with the second-highest fantasy total of the night, but he should have no trouble dismantling the Knicks, and there's a very real chance he rides this favorable matchup to the top score on the slate.
