3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 2/8/18

Dennis Schroder, PG, Atlanta Hawks

DraftKings Salary: $7,300

The biggest concern for Dennis Schroder this season has been inconsistent playing time, but that hasn't been an issue recently. The Atlanta Hawks needed just 25 minutes of him their last time out, but that game was wrapped up by halftime. In more competitive scenarios prior to that, he had topped 30 minutes in four consecutive games.

With a very efficient 1.11 DraftKings points per minute, Schroder would need just under 33 minutes to reach the 36.5 DraftKings point mark required at this price tag. That isn't even taking into consideration the fact that this matchup could provide a big boost to his per-minute production. Schroder faces off with an Orlando Magic team ranked dead last against point guards that has allowed him to average over 40 DraftKings points in two previous meetings.

Schroder isn't someone we normally like to target in cash games, but this game is expected to be one of the few competitive ones on the slate and he should have no issue exploiting Orlando's inept defense. He is a viable play in any format.
