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

Ben Simmons, PG/SF, Philadelphia 76ers

DraftKings Salary: $8,000

Ben Simmons put up a dud his last time out thanks to the blowout nature of the game, but he had averaged a strong 42.3 DraftKings points in the five contests prior to that. Similar to Davis, Simmons appears to be quite underpriced, coming in a full $1,000 cheaper than on FanDuel. Among players priced above $7,000, only Blake Griffin has hit five-times value at their respective price points more frequently than Simmons (59.38%). Only Andre Drummond has hit six-times value more often than Simmons (28.13%).

Our projections agree that he's too cheap, listing him as the second-best value among players priced above $7,000. They expect Simmons to excel in this spot against the Indiana Pacers, as he has done in two previous meetings with Indiana this season. He's averaged 46.3 DraftKings points in those matchups and has averaged 43.8 DraftKings points when playing at home this season. So, he should have no problem exceeding the 40 DraftKings points required of him today. Simmons is an interesting play in any format at this price point.
