3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 1/30/19

Myles Turner, C, Indiana Pacers

DraftKings Price: $6,900

Defending centers started as a huge struggle for the Washington Wizards to start the season. They were abysmal, letting opposing bigs take them down at will. Things have changed recently, however. Over their past seven games, no other team has given up fewer points to opposing centers than they have. That could change tonight when they are forced to take on Myles Turner, who has proven himself to be a Balrog (I don't need to spell out the phrase wizard killer, do I?).

In two games against Washington this year, Turner has put up averages of 22.0 points, 14.5 boards, 1.5 assists, 3.5 blocks, 1.0 steals, 1.5 triples, and 52.4 DraftKings points in 35.2 minutes per game. Yes, averages can sometimes mask poor performances, but not in this case, as Turner's scored at least 49.25 DraftKings points in each contest.

While we only have him currently projected for 30.4 DraftKings points, our models have his upside at a whopping 58.0 points, which is well within the realm of possibility given his destruction of Washington this season. In addition to his upside, few people will be focused on using him tonight, making him a solid low-ownership, high-upside option in tournaments.
