3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 12/27/17

Jimmy Butler, SG, Minnesota Timberwolves

DraftKings Salary: $8,000

For whatever reason, DraftKings' pricing algorithm really doesn't believe in the Minnesota Timberwolves, because Jimmy Butler and Karl-Anthony Towns continue to be extremely underpriced. Butler comes in $900 cheaper than he is listed on FanDuel, while Towns' FanDuel salary is a whopping $1,800 more expensive than his DraftKings price tag ($8,700). Both DraftKings prices are laughable, and both studs are worth targeting in what should be a high-scoring and competitive game against the Denver Nuggets.

Butler needs just 40 DraftKings points to reach five-times his salary-implied total at this price tag, which is a feat he has accomplished in 10 of his past 12 games. He has averaged 45.5 DraftKings points during that stretch. The individual matchup against Gary Harris is far from ideal, but it shouldn't keep you off of Butler at this price tag either. Both Butler and KAT are in play in any format and are viable stacking partners as well.
