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

Kyle Lowry, PG, Toronto Raptors

DraftKings Price: $7,200

Normally a player who commands a much higher salary, Kyle Lowry's DraftKings price sits at just $7,200 heading into tonight's contest against the Golden State Warriors. It's not surprising given his recent play.

Heading into last night's game, Lowry had scored a combined 15 points in his past four games. That's a terrible number for any player, let alone one of the premier point guards in the league. He seemed to find his mojo again last night, however, putting up 21 points, 7 assists, and 5 boards in a rout over the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Raptors will need him to at least match that type of output tonight if they want to have a chance against the Warriors, especially if Kawhi Leonard is forced to sit with a hip injury.

The matchup has been a fruitful one for Lowry in the recent past. He's scored at least 38 DraftKings points in each of his past six meetings with the reigning champs, including 46 when they met earlier this year.

We have him projected for 39.6 DraftKings points tonight. The resulting 5.5 DraftKings points per $1,000 is the fourth-highest projected value of any point guard on the slate, regardless of price.
