3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 4/5/19
Stephen Curry, PG, Golden State Warriors
Price: $9,400
There's huge blowout risk with Stephen Curry tonight, but a 16-point spread is a lot easier to stomach at $9,400 than it is at $12,000.
Curry has averaged only 29.1 minutes per game over his last three, but those were all games the Golden State Warriors won by at least 14 points, and he played only 4.6 fourth-quarter minutes in those three games combined.
This game doesn't even need to stay super close for Curry to be in line for increased minutes -- simply staying within about 30 points into the mid-fourth quarter should do the trick, while an actually close game would increase his ceiling even more.
Steph should also be in line for some huge efficiency tonight, blowout or not. Leading the Warriors with 19.6 field goal attempts per game (11.9 of which have been from downtown), a Golden State blowout often comes behind a hot shooting game from Curry.
The Cleveland Cavaliers also offer their opponents no shortage of efficiency. They give up the third-most FanDuel points per minute to opposing point guards while also allowing opponents to shoot the league's highest effective field goal percentage and the second-highest three-point percentage.
