3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 11/9/18

Kemba Walker, PG, Charlotte Hornets

DraftKings Price: $9,400

Eight years into a well-respected career, Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker is finally breaking out. He is averaging a remarkable 28.1 points this season, a six-point jump from last year and 4.9 more than his career high set two years ago. That mark is second in the league to only Stephen Curry.

As much as we'd like to give credit all to Kemba, he has benefited tremendously from new head coach James Borrego's system. The former San Antonio Spurs assistant coach has emphasized fast play, quick decision-making, and shooting from deep. It's no wonder that Kemba is making a career-high 4.2 threes on 10.4 tries, 2.8 more than he's taken on average before this year.

Tonight he faces a Philadelphia 76ers defense who allowed him to score 37 points (60 DraftKings points) when they met on October 27 this year. What's remarkable about that number is that he did it by hitting only 11-of-31 from the floor and a pathetic (for him....I'd hit zero....well, maybe one) 3-of-15 from deep.

We have him projected as the second-highest scoring point guard on the slate tonight, behind only his opponent Ben Simmons. If those threes start dropping, then he could leave Simmons in his wake.
