3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 1/10/18

Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Minnesota Timberwolves

DraftKings Salary: $8,900

Karl-Anthony Towns comes into this game $700 cheaper than his price on FanDuel, with a price tag that requires just 44.5 DraftKings points of him to hit value. He's averaging 47.5 DraftKings points over the past 10 days, and he draws a matchup against Steven Adams and a Oklahoma City Thunder team that he has destroyed over the past couple seasons. Towns has a 50.7-DraftKings-point average in three games against OKC this season, which gives him an average of 51.9 in his five most-recent meetings with the Thunder.

The Wolves have the sixth-highest implied team total on this 11-game slate, and the highest among teams that don't have at least a five-point spread. Vegas expects this game to remain competitive, which should give Towns every opportunity to take advantage of a Thunder squad playing on tired legs after battling with the Portland Trail Blazers last night.
