3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/29/16

James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

Price: $11,000

LeBron James is getting the night off tonight for rest, and that means the Cavaliers defense is a lot less of a worrisome matchup than it normally is. James is one of the best defenders on the team, with a 103 Defensive Rating, and while the sample size is a very small three games, the team's Defensive Rating in games without him this season has been 108.9, compared to their usual 103.7.

In addition to that, James Harden appears to be matchup-proof lately. In the month of March, he's the only player in the league averaging over 50 FanDuel points per game, posting 51.5. He leads the league with 29.0 points per game, while adding 9.7 assists and 6.6 rebounds.

He also sees every opportunity to produce that he can possibly handle. He leads the league with 39.0 minutes per game on the month, and his 33.1 percent Usage Rate is the second-highest among players seeing at least 10 minutes per game. With these ridiculous numbers, he'd be in play even if LeBron was in the lineup, but against a thinned out Cavs defense, he's an outstanding fantasy option
