3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 12/5/17

Devin Booker, SG/SF, Phoenix Suns

DraftKings Salary: $8,000

On the other side of the ball, we have Devin Booker, who is playing about as well as anyone on this slate. He's averaged 48.9 DraftKings points over the past week, and if you remove a blowout loss in which he played just 27 minutes, he's averaged 56.3 during that time.

He has a 36.6% usage rate during that span, which is up to an absurd 38.9% mark over his past two games. In those games, Booker has averaged 42 actual points on 30.5 shot attempts. With Phoenix playing their fifth game of this road trip on the back end of a back-to-back, the blowout risk cannot be ignored. However, if they keep this game close, it will likely be on the back of Booker. The Raptors have allowed the eighth-most DraftKings points per game to opposing shooting guards, so the potential for a huge game is certainly there for Booker. If constructing multiple tournament lineups on this small slate, you have to get some exposure to Booker.
