3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 2/6/18

Marc Gasol, C, Memphis Grizzlies

DraftKings Salary: $8,700

Marc Gasol has been producing at a high level for the short-handed Memphis Grizzlies -- averaging 44.2 DraftKings points over his past five games. He has averaged an incredibly efficient 1.34 DraftKings points per minute during that time, which is near his season-long average with Tyreke Evans off the floor. Gasol has a 31.6% usage rate sans Evans, and the offense should continue to flow through him tonight against the Atlanta Hawks.

Even with Dewayne Dedmon back, the Hawks have struggled against opposing posts. They've allowed the 3rd-most DraftKings points per game to opposing centers and rank 27th in rebounding rate. They've also allowed the fifth-highest field goal percentage on post up plays this season -- an area where Gasol thrives.

Gasol's role in the offense keeps his floor high enough to make him a viable cash-game option, even at an elevated price tag, and the matchup against Atlanta offers him the upside to be an exciting tournament play, too. Don't let the low implied total for Memphis keep you off of Gasol -- he is a strong play in any format.
