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

John Wall, PG, Washington Wizards

DraftKings Price: $9,800

While he'll be hard-pressed to match the incendiary performance he put on the Lakers the other night, John Wall certainly has the best possible matchup to go for a repeat.

Wall dropped 40 points, 14 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks, 3 steals, and 79.5 DraftKings points in Sunday's win over LA. Not only was it his highest total of the season, it marked the best DFS performance of his career, besting his previous high (set on January 16, 2016) by a mere 0.25 points.

His opponent tonight is the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks may have a league-worst 6-23 record, but four of those wins have come at home, where they lose by an average of "only" 8.8 points, compared to 12.3 on the road (hey, little victories, Atlanta!). As such, Vegas expects this game to be relatively close, making the Wizards just 4.5-point favorites.

That bodes well for Wall's playing time, obviously, which is even more exciting when you consider that the Hawks are giving up the most DraftKings points per game to opposing point guards this season, according to FantasyPros. While Wall's inconsistency at this price can lead to pulling hairs out of your head, the matchup lines up for him to have another solid performance.
