3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 3/12/18

Goran Dragic, PG, Miami Heat

DraftKings Salary: $6,300

Just one week ago, Goran Dragic found himself priced up to $7,800, which makes him seem like quite the value tonight. His play has fallen off a bit recently, but even with a few subpar performances, he is still averaging 32.1 DraftKings points in nine games since the All-Star break. At this price, Dragic needs just 31.5 DraftKings points, so he is someone we have to look at on a four-game slate.

He has two things really working for him in this one. For starters, Whiteside and Dwyane Wade are both set to miss this game, which should give Dragic a few additional looks on the offensive end. He's averaged 1.02 DraftKings points per minute with both off the floor, while his usage rate has risen by 1.1%. The second is game script, as the over/under is actually just a point and a half behind the slate-leader and has the least blowout risk of any. It is tough to feel confident paying all the way up for studs in games with huge spreads, which leaves Dragic as one of the few safe studs on the slate. The depleted price tag is just an added bonus.
