3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 2/27/18

Eric Bledsoe, PG/SG, Milwaukee Bucks

DraftKings Salary: $7,300

While Malcolm Brogdon and Matthew Dellavedova continue to rehab injuries, Eric Bledsoe continues to play all the minutes he can handle for the Milwaukee Bucks, which has made him a very appealing target on a night-to-night basis. He's averaged 41.6 DraftKings points in 34.6 minutes per game over his past eight, which is plenty at a price tag that requires 36.5 DraftKings points of him to reach his salary-implied total. He's been remarkably consistent, too, with his lowest point total during that stretch being 35.25 DraftKings points.

On top of that, Bledsoe has fared well in this matchup, averaging 38.8 DraftKings points in three games against the Washington Wizards this season. Those all came against John Wall, whose explosiveness makes him much more capable of matching up with Bledsoe than Tomas Satoransky, Wall's replacement.

Hopefully all the attention paid to the Nuggets-Clippers game will keep Bledsoe's ownership subdued. Many will gravitate towards the likes of Lou Williams ($7,200), Will Barton ($7,100), Jamal Murray ($6,600), and Gary Harris ($6,000). Don't forget about Bledsoe, though, as he has displayed both the floor and ceiling to make him a great play at this price point.
