3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 4/11/18

Jimmy Butler, SG/SF, Minnesota Timberwolves

DraftKings Salary: $7,400

We're going back to the Minnesota game to close things out here. DraftKings pricing hasn't quite caught up with the return of Jimmy Butler yet, thanks in large part to limited minutes in his first two games back. His teammates are still priced up as if he were out, while Butler himself is far too cheap for the role he will likely play tonight.

He played just 23 minutes in each of his first two games back, but those both ended up being blowouts. With the season on the line, expect to see Butler push for 30-plus minutes. Considering his 1.11 DraftKings point per minute average, Butler should need just 33 minutes to hit value (37 DraftKings points) at this price tag. Our projections expect Butler to play 37 minutes and put up 43 DraftKings points, which would be more than enough at this price tag.

There's some risk involved, as Butler may not play the minutes we expect here. Considering the fact that his coach is Tom Thibodeau, it seems unlikely that Butler's minute load remains low if this crucial game remains competitive. Load up on Jimmy Buckets in tournaments at this bargain price tag.
