3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 2/28/19

Nikola Jokic, C, Denver Nuggets

DraftKings Price: $10,000

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic is having a monster year. His 20.7 points, 10.7 boards, 7.7 assists, and 1.4 steals per game--all career highs--are the biggest reason that the Nuggets sit just 0.5 games back from the Golden State Warriors in the race for the number one playoff seed in the Western Conference.

As good as he's been all season, he's thrived even more when he's been at home. He's averaging 53.9 DraftKings points per game at home this season compared to 46.7 on the road, a pretty dramatic split. He's been even better at home this month, putting up a ridiculous 58.1 DraftKings points across five home contests.

He'll have a tough matchup tonight when the team hosts Rudy Gobert and the Utah Jazz, but that hasn't stopped him from putting up big numbers before. He put up 69.75 DraftKings points when the teams last met in January, posting 28 points and 21 boards.

While we don't have him projected to put up such massive numbers tonight, we do project him to put up a very respectable 52.5 DraftKings points, which is the fifth-highest projected score of the night.
