3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 2/25/19

Khris Middleton, SF/PF, Milwaukee Bucks

DraftKings Price: $6,300

If you're looking for a somewhat cheaper stud to use this evening, strongly consider the Milwaukee Bucks' Khris Middleton.

The Bucks will likely be without superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, which means that the rest of the team will need to step up in his absence. Middleton has regularly done that throughout his career, and this year hasn't been any difference.

Middleton has scored 35-plus DraftKings points in three of the four games he's played without Giannis this year. It would likely have been four of four, but the Bucks got out to a 13-point lead against the Cavs in the first quarter when Giannis didn't play on December 10, meaning Middleton didn't need to play his full complement of minutes.

We have him getting past that threshold once again tonight, projecting him for 38.6 DraftKings points. The equivalent 6.1 DraftKings points per $1,000 mean's he's projected to return a solid value as well.
