3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 2/21/19

Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

DraftKings Price: $8,600

Before going too far, let me first point out that Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard is available for tonight's game against the Brooklyn Nets. There was some question surrounding an ankle tweak, but that is no longer an issue.

Lillard, who is coming off an 18-point, 6-rebounds, 5-dime, 2-steal performance in the All-Star Game, will look to start the second "half" of the season on the right note. The matchup is aligned for that to happen.

While the former Weber State star's history against the Nets is fairly strong overall, it's been even stronger when playing them away from the cozy confines of the Moda Center. Lillard has scored at least 48.0 DraftKings points in three of his past four away games against the Nets, which includes two games of at least 57.0 DraftKings points.

Tonight's game has a total set at 231.0 points, which is, somewhat amazingly, just the third-highest total of the six-game slate. Regardless, it sets the scene for a fantasy-friendly game, and Dame's dime game could take a step forward with the offensive-minded Enes Kanter ready to go down low for the Blazers tonight. We project Lillard to finish with 43.0 DraftKings points tonight, but don't be surprised if he blows past that.
