3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 4/5/18

Donovan Mitchell, PG/SG, Utah Jazz

DraftKings Salary: $7,100

Donovan Mitchell has been a remarkably consistent fantasy performer in his rookie season, having scored at least 32 DraftKings points in 17 straight games. He has averaged 37.6 DraftKings points per game during that span, which increases to 39.0 when limited to the past two weeks.

Mitchell needs just 35.5 DraftKings points at this price tag, which makes him stand out as one of tonight's best per-dollar plays in a good spot against the Los Angeles Clippers. A win in this game would all but lock up homecourt advantage for the Jazz in the first round of the playoffs, so expect to see a full complement of minutes for Mitchell and the other Utah starters.

This is a huge pace-up game for Mitchell, as the Clippers have played at the league's sixth-quickest pace of play this season, in turn surrendering the ninth-most points per game to opponents. In a full-time role (his first meeting was in the fourth game of the season), Mitchell has averaged 39.4 DraftKings points in two games against Los Angeles. And that's a level of production that should be easily reproducable tonight. If spending up at guard, he is a viable option in all formats tonight.
