3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 3/12/18
Marc Gasol is in a great spot against the Milwaukee Bucks tonight. Which other high-priced NBA players should you be targeting for Monday's DFS contests?

Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

DraftKings Salary: $9,300

Damian Lillard's matchup against the Miami Heat isn't exactly ideal, but he has been playing so well lately that he is still firmly in play on a four-game slate. Lillard has averaged 47.5 DraftKings points over his past five games and 49.6 over his past 10, so he should definitely be on your radar at a price tag that requires just 46.5 DraftKings points of him to hit value.

While Miami is a strong defensive team, they will be without their rim protector, as Hassan Whiteside has already been ruled out. That's good news for Lillard, as 43% of his made shots have come from within nine feet of the rim. It is also worth noting that Lillard dropped 49 actual points on Goran Dragic and the Heat last year, so he can still find success, even in a pace-down matchup like this.

This game actually has the closest spread of any on the slate, and Lillard is clearly the top target in the game. He is one of the safest studs you can target and is worth a look in any format.
