3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 11/12/18

Paul George, SF/PF, Oklahoma City Thunder

DraftKings Price: $9,700

After scoring at least 49.75 DraftKings points in three of his past four games, Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Paul George's salary has rocketed to a season-high $9,700. That should not stop you from using him tonight when his team hosts the Phoenix Suns at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Russell Westbrook is listed as out for tonight's game, which means George should once again shoulder much of the offensive load. When Westbrook is out, George's usage rate jumps from 25.6% to 33.1%. Nor surprisingly, his DraftKings output increases from 39.5 points to 47.2 points.

George's scoring output is on par with his last few seasons, but his 7.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game are both career highs, as is his league-leading 2.75 steals per game.

We have George projected for 42.7 DraftKings points this evening with upside for 58.2. In a likely fast-paced game against the Phoenix Suns, his fantasy production should come early and often.
