3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 2/8/18
Kyrie Irving is in a great spot for production against the Washington Wizards. Which other high-priced NBA players are worth considering in Thursday's DFS contests?

Kyrie Irving, PG, Boston Celtics

DraftKings Salary: $7,900

According to our projections, Kyrie Irving stands out as the best value among any player priced above $7,000 today on DraftKings. This is just the second time all season we have seen Irving priced below $8,000, with the last time coming on December 12th against the Memphis Grizzlies. He has a much more advantageous matchup this time, as he faces a Washington Wizards squad that will be playing their third game in four days.

Irving played just 22 minutes in his first game back from a quad issue, thanks in large part to the blowout nature of the game. Prior to that, he had hit five-times value (39.5 DraftKings points) at this price tag in six straight games and 9 of his past 12. That type of consistency is exactly what we are looking for in cash games. On a slate full of uncertainty, Irving is one of the safest plays on the board.
