3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 1/28/19

Al Horford, PF/C, Boston Celtics

DraftKings Price: $6,400

Boston Celtics center Al Horford scored just 16.0 DraftKings points in a mere 20 minutes during a 109-102 loss to the Nets on January 14, a game in which the Nets were up 24 heading into the fourth quarter. It was an embarrassing loss for the Celtics, one from which they and Horford will seek revenge for when the two teams face off again tonight.

That game was an aberration for Horford, who has otherwise dominated the Nets. He's scored at least 33.8 DraftKings points in each of his other seven games against Brooklyn whilst in a Celtics uni, putting up averages of 14.3 points, 8.0 boards, 5.0 assists, 2.0 blocks, and 37.3 DraftKings points per game during that time.

We project him and the Celtics to bounce back from that loss a fortnight ago. We have Horford projected for 35.9 DraftKings points. Not only is that the 12th-highest projected total of the night, but the equivalent 5.61 DraftKings points per $1,000 makes Horford our eighth-highest projected value play to boot.
