3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/26/18

James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

Price: $11,100

This is the lowest salary James Harden has sported in over a month. It comes after he went off for 41 points (and 59.1 fantasy points) in his last game, giving him an average of 56.3 over his last four.

Like Westbrook, Harden (who leads the league in fantasy production this season) is never a guy whose ability to produce in a vacuum is in question, but the Utah Jazz are one of the toughest fantasy matchups around.

Harden's three games against Utah this year are a fairly small sample, but it's been very encouraging. He's averaging 54.6 FanDuel points per game in those contests (a shade above the 54.1 he's averaging on the year), which includes playing 36.1 minutes and scoring 37.0 points per game.

If he were priced up in that 12,000 range, there would be more room for concern, but numberFire's models project Harden for the slate's second-highest fantasy total. Even in a tough matchup, he shouldn't have too much trouble returning great value on a price tag this low.
