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

Jamal Murray, PG/SG, Denver Nuggets

DraftKings Salary: $6,700

On the other side of that game, we find a streaking Nuggets squad that is fresh off of their fifth straight win. They have been led by Nikola Jokic and Will Barton, both of whom have seen their salary rise quite a bit over the past week. Jamal Murray has also been balling out, yet his price is lower than it was five games ago. He's averaged 34.0 DraftKings points in the last week and 35.4 over his past 10, so he should have no problem exceeding value at a price tag that requires 33.5 DraftKings points of him.

Murray has hit five-times value at this price in 61.5% of his games over the past month, which is the third-highest mark among players priced above $6,500 on this slate. This game also is taking place at the Pepsi Center, where Murray has averaged 4.3 more DraftKings points per game this season than he has on the road. If you want to get exposure to the Nuggets' studs but don't have the salary to pay all the way up for Jokic, Murray is your man.
