3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 4/9/18

Anthony Davis, PF/C, New Orleans Pelicans

DraftKings Salary: $11,600

If you're paying all the way up on DraftKings, Anthony Davis seems like the clear choice.

He comes at a $1,600 discount compared to his FanDuel price tag, and he has easily the best game script among the studs. While there is significant blowout risk for LeBron James against the New York Knicks and Russell Westbrook plays in the game with the second-lowest over/under on the slate, Davis' matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers has a slate-leading over/under of 226.5 points. No team has a higher implied team total than Davis' New Orleans Pelicans.

Davis heads into this one red-hot -- averaging 60.3 DraftKings points over the past week and fresh off of a road victory over the Golden State Warriors. He needs to ball out again tonight to help secure a playoff spot for the Pels, so another 60-burger could definitely be coming. He should thrive in an uptempo matchup against a Clippers team that has no answer for him defensively. He has averaged 67.3 DraftKings points in two games against the Clippers since DeMarcus Cousins went down, and he is a terrific play in all formats.
