3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 10/31/17

Devin Booker, SG/SF, Phoenix Suns

DraftKings Salary: $7,900

Devin Booker has taken on a larger role for the Phoenix Suns since the Eric Bledsoe fiasco, averaging 39.25 DraftKings points on a 31% usage rate over his past three games. That shouldn't come as much of a surprise, as he was the main beneficiary when Bledsoe was off the floor last season. Since the start of last season, Booker has maintained a 32.1% usage rate with Bledsoe off the floor, per nbawowy.com.

It is also worth noting that he got in foul trouble early on in one of those games and played the Utah Jazz in another, yet is still averaging nearly 40 DraftKings points during that three-game sample size. In the one game he played a full complement of minutes against a league-average defense, Booker dropped 50.5 -- his second 50-plus DraftKings point performance this season.

Tonight's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets is far from a "league-average defense," as Brooklyn ranks 29th in defensive efficiency and the two teams rank first and second in pace of play. As a result, Vegas has the over/under for this one set at 231 points, which is nearly 20 points above the next-highest total. This should be a high-flying game with little defense being played, offering Booker the perfect environment in which to thrive. Last season, Booker placed sixth in transition scoring, ranking among some elite company. He has a huge ceiling tonight and is in play in all formats on a four-game slate.
