3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 11/30/17

Jusuf Nurkic, C, Portland Trail Blazers

DraftKings Salary: $6,700

DraftKings has made it hard for us to play Jusuf Nurkic this season, as the big fella tends to always seem a bit overpriced. However, he's strung together some impressive performances lately, averaging 40.3 DraftKings with a ceiling of 63.25 and a floor of 31.25 over his past four games. That is plenty at a price tag that requires 33.5 DraftKings points of him.

He will attempt to keep his recent hot streak going against the Milwaukee Bucks, who have struggled against opposing bigs this season. Milwaukee ranks 26th in rebounding rate and has no answer for Nurkic. He double-doubled and piled up 37.5 DraftKings points in his only game against Milwaukee as a member of the Portland Trail Blazers last year, which he followed up with a 41.8 DraftKings point performance against the Bucks in their first meeting this season.

Nurkic is tough to trust in cash games, even on a five-game slate. You're probably best served going with DeAndre Jordan or paying down for one of the fill-in centers today in cash games. However, Nurkic should have no trouble exceeding value in this matchup and is the most exciting dollar-for-dollar tournament center on the slate.
