3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 10/24/18

Kevin Love, PF/C, Cleveland Cavaliers

DraftKings Price: $8,800

Although Kevin Love hasn't been a fantasy stud for a few years, I think it's safe to say he's back in that tier. To date, he's averaging 46.02 DraftKings points -- an 11.64-point improvement over last year and his highest per-game output since his last year in Minnesota (52.43 DK points). He's doing so on a 28.8% usage rate and 18.7 field goal attempts despite converting at just a 30.4% field goal percentage.

Given that Love has shot at least 41.9% every season since 2013-14, his scoring production is bound to go up. And if he's getting the same 9.3 free throw attempts a night, his ceiling could be a lot higher than it's been to start the year. After all, the rebounds -- 14.3 per game on a 21.6% rate -- are there, along with the minutes (35.7) and assists (4.0).

Facing a Brooklyn Nets team ranked ranked 23rd in defensive rating (115.0) and 14th in points allowed per game (14th) -- at home, nonetheless -- boosts Love's already high odds of turning in a big double-double.

At his current price, Love is our highest projected point-per-dollar value (5.32 points per $1,000) of any player priced above $8K. Get in on him before his price more accurately reflects his fantasy ceiling.
