3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 11/9/17
After a night off, Joel Embiid is rested and ready to make some noise against the Sacramento Kings. Which other high-end players could amp up your DraftKings roster?

LeBron James, SF/PF, Cleveland Cavaliers

DraftKings Salary: $10,800

Rightfully so, LeBron James' price jumped to $11,600 after his 92.25 DraftKings point performance. He then went out and topped 55 DraftKings points in back-to-back games, yet his price has dropped to $10,800 for this contest. At this price tag, Bron needs just 54 DraftKings points to reach value. He has reached that total in every game this month, a stretch during which he has averaged 67.4 DraftKings points.

He'll look to extend that streak in tonight's matchup against the Houston Rockets, which has the highest over/under (228 points) on the slate by a wide margin. The Rockets have some pesky wing defenders, but the same could be said for a Washington Wizards team that nearly allowed 100 DraftKings points to James last week. At this point, LeBron is simply matchup proof.

With news that Derrick Rose will be out tonight, James could be looking at an even higher usage rate. Amazingly, Rose ranked second on the Cleveland Cavaliers in usage (25.8%), so his absence will open up more looks for James and Kevin Love ($7,400), who are two of the strongest stud plays on the slate.
