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

Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Minnesota Timberwolves

DraftKings Price: $10,200

There are just two (healthy) players with five-figure salaries on tonight's slate: Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook and Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns. Both are in fantasy-friendly matchups tonight with totals set at 233.5 and 229.5 points, respectively, and there are plenty of ways in which you could get both to fit in your lineups tonight.

If you want to take a chance on the likely lesser-owned player, then you'll want to roster Towns. The fourth-year player has been as dominant as ever this season, putting up 22.5 points, 12.3 boards, 3.0 assists, 1.9 blocks, and 1.7 triples per game.

He's in the midst of one of his best fantasy stretches of the season, scoring 55 or more DraftKings points in 7 of his past 10 games, and he gets a matchup tonight against a team he's already twice destroyed this season.

The Wolves head to the Staples Center to take on the Los Angeles Lakers. The teams have met thrice this season with Towns topping 60 DraftKings points in two of those games. He's double-doubled in 12 of his 14 career meetings against the Lakers.

We have him projected for 56.8 DraftKings points tonight, which is not only the second-highest projected total of the night (Westbrook), but the equivalent 5.57 points per $1,000 represents one of the biggest values on the slate.
