3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 3/7/18

Will Barton, SG/SF, Denver Nuggets

DraftKings Salary: $7,000

Perhaps the only team with a game script that can challenge Los Angeles tonight is the Denver Nuggets, who have the second-highest implied team total and less blowout risk. They host the Cleveland Cavaliers in the game with the highest over/under on the slate. The additional scoring opportunities should benefit Will Barton, who is averaging 21.4 points and 42.5 DraftKings points over his past five games.

Barton has been ridiculously consistent recently, hitting five-times value at his salary in 80% of his games over the past month. Only Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has hit five-times value at that high of a rate during that span.

Expect Barton to keep that streak going against the Cavs, who rank in the bottom-seven in DraftKings points allowed to both shooting guards and small forwards. With the role he has been playing and the advantageous game script, Barton is a safe play in all formats.
