3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 2/2/18

Khris Middleton, SG/SF, Milwaukee Bucks

DraftKings Salary: $7,300

Khris Middleton also seems quite underpriced, especially considering the current state of the Milwaukee Bucks. Milwaukee will almost certainly be without Malcolm Brogdon, who left last night's game on crutches. Eric Bledsoe was doubtful heading into last night's game and was ruled out well before lock, so his status is in doubt as well. To top it all off, Giannis Antetokounmpo said he twisted his ankle pretty badly in the fourth quarter of last night's game and was having trouble putting weight on it.

So, Milwaukee could be without their top-three options not named Khris, which would leave Middleton to carry the load offensively against the New York Knicks. He's only played 122 minutes with all three of Brogdon, Bledsoe, and Antetokounmpo off the court, but he posted a ridiculous 39.4% usage rate in that time. Luckily, Jabari Parker will return in limited fashion, so New York won't be able to completely game plan around stopping Middleton.

Keep a close eye on the injury news for the Bucks, because Middleton is worth a look in either format if just two of the three sit out. If all three are sidelined, he becomes a near must-play at this price tag.
