3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 10/25/18

Nikola Vucevic, C, Orlando Magic

DraftKings Price: $7,800

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic may not have the name recognition of some of the other centers in the league, but he is certainly playing like he belongs in the consideration for best at his position.

Through four games, Vucevic is putting up a solid 1.5 DraftKings points per minute. He has produced a triple-double and double-double in his past two games, and his 45.6 DraftKings points per game ranks sixth among all eligible centers on DraftKings (second if you include center-only eligible players).

He gets a very favorable opponent tonight in the Portland Trail Blazers. He's faced the Blazers 10 times while with Orlando. He's scored at least 30 DraftKings points in all of those games, at least 40 in eight of them, and at least 50 in three of his past seven head-to-head matchups.

Our models have him projected for 36.3 DraftKings points tonight, but as his history against the Blazers suggests, you should probably take that as a floor. If you're looking to pivot away from guys like Nikola Jokic and Blake Griffin, Vooch is one of the first places you should look.
