3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 1/11/18

DeMar DeRozan, SG/SF, Toronto Raptors

DraftKings Salary: $8,800

Much was written about DeMar DeRozan's 43.1% usage rate and 1.5 DraftKings points per minute marks with Kyle Lowry off the court his last time out, but with both Lowry and Ibaka sidelined, those numbers grow to even more preposterous levels. In such instances, DeRozan boasts a 44.5% usage rate and 1.61 DraftKings points per minute -- efficiency marks that likely cannot be replicated over a full 35-minute workload, but are still worth making note of.

We don't have official word that Lowry is out tonight, but it doesn't sound like he is going to play. If he sits, it will be hard to justify passing on DeRozan in a high-scoring game against a Cavs squad that has allowed the third-most DraftKings points per game to opposing shooting guards and the second-most to small forwards.

He needs 44 DraftKings points to hit value at this price tag, which he has been exceeding with regularity lately, even with Lowry in the lineup. DeRozan has averaged 51.9 DraftKings points on 24 shot attempts over his past five games and is a very strong bet to hit value at this price tag. Give him a long look in any format.
