3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 1/18/19

Jrue Holiday, PG, New Orleans Saints

DraftKings Price: $8,000

Yes, I am aware that there is more than one game on the slate tonight. The Pelicans/Blazers game, however, is filled with studs, and there is one more that needs to be talked about here.

That player is, of course, guard Jrue Holiday. Jrue is quietly putting together the best season of his career. His 20.8 points, 4.6 boards, 8.2 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.7 triples per game are all personal bests. Despite his and Anthony Davis' best efforts, however, the Pelicans are still three games under .500 and out of the playoff picture in the Western Conference.

They'll look to get a win tonight against the fourth-ranked Blazers, a team against whom Jrue has had success recently. He's topped 40 DraftKings points each of the past three times he's faced the Blazers in the regular season, and he also lit them up for 27.8 points, 4.0 boards, and 6.5 assists when the Pelicans swept the Blazers in last year's playoffs.

We have Jrue projected for 41.8 DraftKings points tonight with upside for 58.7 if he can put it all together.
