3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 2/13/18

Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Minnesota Timberwolves

DraftKings Salary: $9,200

Karl-Anthony Towns has several things working in his favor tonight as the Minnesota Timberwolves face off with the Houston Rockets. For starters, this game has the highest over/under (222 points) on the slate, with the Wolves carrying the fourth-highest implied team total. It is also a home game for Towns, who has played much better in his home environment this season. He's averaged 47 DraftKings points at home, where he's averaged 5 free throw attempts per game, as opposed to 3.8 foul shots and 41.5 DraftKings points on the road.

He also draws a Rockets team that he has terrorized in the past. He put up 62.5 DraftKings points in his first meeting with them this season, which is actually down from the ridiculous 66.2 DraftKings points he averaged in four games against Houston last season.

The Rockets have been strong against centers, but clearly have no answer for Towns on the defensive end. He's averaging 46.4 DraftKings points (50.2 if you take away a foul-riddled game against the Chicago Bulls) over his past five games, which is exactly what he needs to hit five-times his salary-implied value at this price tag. He should have no issue being productive in this matchup and is a terrific play in any format.
