3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 3/20/18

Jrue Holiday, PG/SG, New Orleans Pelicans

DraftKings Salary: $8,200

Jrue Holiday put up a disappointing line from a fantasy perspective in his most recent game, but that isn't at all surprising if you consider the matchup against the Celtics and the blowout nature of the game. Really, blowouts have been the only thing that have been able to keep Holiday down as he has averaged 48.6 DraftKings points in the 13 games over his past 15 in which his minutes have not been negatively impacted by blowouts.

That type of production would make Holiday an auto-play at this price tag, but unfortunately, there is a chance this game turns into a blowout. The New Orleans Pelicans are favored by 9.0 points over the tanking Dallas Mavericks, who are without Dennis Smith and Wesley Matthews and could be missing Jose Juan Barea, as well.

If this game does stay close, Holiday should crush value. Dallas was already allowing the eighth-most DraftKings points per game to opposing point guards, and their injury-riddled backcourt should have a tough time defending Holiday. This game has the second-highest over/under, and the Pels have the second-highest implied team total. As long as Dallas can keep it competitive, Holiday should exceed value once again.
