3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 11/7/17
After being limited in a blowout over the weekend, Nikola Jokic is primed to rebound against the Nets. Which other studs should you be considering for Tuesday's NBA DFS action.

Nikola Jokic, C, Denver Nuggets

DraftKings Salary: $8,500

The Denver Nuggets found themselves trailing the Golden State Warriors by 27 points heading into the third quarter of their most recent game, so head coach Michael Malone elected to pull his starters, resulting in just 19 minutes of action for Nikola Jokic. He had been flat-out dominant prior to that, though, averaging 49.2 DraftKings points over his previous five games -- his lowest DraftKings point total during that span was 46.75. That's still is plenty at this price point, which requires 42.5 DraftKings points from Jokic to reach five-times value.

He should have no problem getting back to that form tonight, as his Nuggets boast a slate-leading implied team total of 121.25 points. That should come as no surprise -- they face a Brooklyn Nets squad ranked first in pace of play and 24th in defensive efficiency. They've also been crushed on the glass, ranking just 25th in rebounding rate.

The only thing that can keep Jokic from paying off his salary is a blowout, as Denver is favored by 11.5 points in this one.
