3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 1/15/18

Kristaps Porzingis, PF/C, New York Knicks

DraftKings Salary: $8,300

The New York Knicks have a pace-up game tonight as they take on a Brooklyn Nets team that has allowed the fifth-most points per game this season while also ranking dead last in DraftKings points per game allowed to power forwards. That's great news for Kristaps Porzingis, who has averaged 44.5 DraftKings points over his past four games.

He's played very well against this Nets team in their two previous meetings, putting up 49.75 DraftKings points against them his first time out and racking up 23 DraftKings points in his first 16 minutes the last time out. Unfortunately, he was forced to leave that game with an injury. If he sees his usual minutes tonight, he should smash in this spot.

In addition to struggling against power forwards, Brooklyn ranks last in points allowed from 10-to-19 feet, an area of the floor Porzingis thrives in. No player has scored more mid-range points than him, who should get whatever he wants in this matchup. He is a strong play in any format.
