3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 1/24/19

Paul George, SF/PF, Oklahoma City Thunder

DraftKings Price: $9,600

While many will obviously look to Westbrook tonight, another Thunder player has been playing as nearly as high of a fantasy level of late. That player? Albert Einstein. The German physicist-turned NBA star has written the perfect formula for roundball trajectories, and it has been particularly evident from beyond the arc.

Einstein -- aka Paul George -- is averaging a career best 3.4 triples per game this season. He's dropped five or more treys 4 times in his past 10 games, and the last time he didn't have at least two was all the way back on November 28.

George's 27.0 points are 3.3 more than his previous best, and he's performing at his acme in other facets of his game, averaging personal bests in boards (7.9), and steals (2.3). Those 2.3 swipes are the second-best rate in the league (Westbrook is first).

The Thunder face a familiar foe in the New Orleans Pelicans tonight, a team that George has scored 52 or more DraftKings points against in both previous meetings this season. Our models have him close to that output again, projecting him for 50.7 DraftKings points, third-highest on the slate.
