3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 11/1/17
Kyle Lowry will look to continue his hot streak against a Denver team who has trouble stopping point guards.

DeMarcus Cousins, PF/C, New Orleans Pelicans

DraftKings Salary: $11,400

Following a dud from Giannis Antetokounmpo last night, DeMarcus Cousins is now the league leader in DraftKings scoring at 63.3 points per game. He'll look to build on that tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Minnesota has been dreadful on the defensive end this season, ranking dead last in defensive efficiency. They have been subpar on the glass as well, ranking 23rd in rebounding rate. Cousins is also likely to draw the defense of Karl-Anthony Towns, with Taj Gibson taking Anthony Davis. Gibson is the far superior defender of the two, as Towns ranked dead last among 60 qualified centers in defensive real plus-minus.

Both Cousins and Davis are fine plays in this tilt, but the individual matchups likely make Boogie the stronger play. He's viable in all formats.
