3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 3/23/18

Stephen Curry, PG/SG, Golden State Warriors

DraftKings Salary: $10,600

Stephen Curry is listed as probable for tonight's game, which means we will get a chance to seem him operate completely independent of his supporting cast, as Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson are all out. Even without those three, the Golden State Warriors have the second-highest implied team total on the slate in a soft matchup against the Atlanta Hawks.

Curry has played only 49 minutes with all three off the floor this season, so obviously this is a small sample size. However, his numbers during that time are so ridiculous that they have to be mentioned. During that time, he has a 42.7% usage rate and a ludicrous 77 DraftKings points per 36-minutes. We do have a decent sample size of Curry's performance with Durant off the floor, during which he has a 40.9% usage rate and 1.80 DraftKings points per minute.

The offense should run completely through Curry, who needs 53 DraftKings points at this price. At 1.80 DraftKings points per minute, Curry would hit that mark in just under 30 minutes of action. As long as this game isn't over by halftime, he should have no issue hitting value against the Hawks. The blowout risk and potential for Golden State to monitor his minutes make it worth making a few hedge lineups, but otherwise, feel confident loading up on Curry tonight.
