3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 10/27/17

LaMarcus Aldridge, PF/C, San Antonio Spurs

DraftKings Salary: $8,200

For as great of a spot as Porzingis is in, LaMarcus Aldridge might acutally be in a better one. He has maintained a strong 29.6% usage rate this season with Kawhi Leonard out of the lineup, averaging 46.1 DraftKings points in 36.3 minutes per game. He needs just 41 DraftKings points to reach five-times his salary implied value at this price, a feat he has accomplished in three of his four games thus far.

He should also benefit from the matchup against the Orlando Magic, who allowed more points in the post than any team last season. Aldridge is one of the league's premier post scorers, and he has had no problem exploiting this matchup in the past, averaging 22 points on 63% shooting over the past two seasons. Given that he has upped his scoring from 17.3 points per game last season to 26 without Kawhi, it is scary to think what he could do in this matchup. The Magic are a volatile team, so a potential blowout is always in play, but with San Antonio only listed as 5.5 point favorites, Aldridge is a safe option in any format.
