3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 2/1/19

Paul George, SF/PF, Oklahoma City Thunder

DraftKings Price: $9,900

Russell Westbrook is the higher-priced of the two Oklahoma City Thunder stars, and we project him for a big night, but Paul George is still below $10K and producing numbers worthy of a much larger price tag. En route to averaging 50.0 DK points a game George has 6 games over 50 in his last 10. He hasn't dipped below 43.25 while he has exceeded the 60-point mark twice in the last four.

PG-13's play hasn't gone unnoticed, as he was named an All-Star starter last week. But a matchup on the road against the Miami Heat could keep his ownership lower than it should be. OKC's team total (112.5) sits in the middle of tonight's 10 teams, and Miami ranks sixth in defensive rating (106.5) for the year. Even their pace is in the bottom six, per NBA Stats.

However, while George shoots a lower percentage on the road his usage jumps from 28.4% to 30.1% away from OKC, increasing his fantasy output by 2.2 DK points. And boosting his ceiling that much more, Miami allows a high number of rebounds (8.5 per game) to small forwards, ranking fourth-worst in that category and allowing 41.0 DK points per game to the position.

George is projected to be the fourth-highest fantasy scorer of the night. His projected 49.3 DK points would result in a value of 4.98 points per $1,000, making him the second-best point-per-dollar value above the $9K mark.
