3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 1/12/18

John Wall, PG, Washington Wizards

DraftKings Salary: $9,400

The training wheels seem to have finally come off for John Wall. He's played 42 minutes in consecutive games, which gives him three games with 40-plus in his past five. During that span, he's averaged 52.3 DraftKings points, which is obviously plenty to pay off a salary that requires just 47 of him to reach value.

The matchup is also ideal, as Wall takes on a Orlando Magic team that ranks 27th in defensive efficiency and has allowed the 4th-most DraftKings points per game to opposing point guards. The Wizards' implied team total is eight points higher than their season scoring average, as they have the third-highest implied team total on the slate. There is some blowout risk in this one -- Washington is favored by 10.5 points -- but if Orlando can keep this one close, Wall is almost certain to put up a big total.
