3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 3/7/19

Paul George, SF/PF, Oklahoma City Thunder

DraftKings Price: $9,700

Westbrook is averaging 61.1 DraftKings points per game against Portland this year. "That's cute," says teammate Paul George.

George, in his second year with the Thunder, is averaging a ridiculous 68.8 DraftKings points against Portland in their three meetings this season. Yes, it's a number boosted heavily by an 88.5-DraftKings-point effort in their last meeting, but don't let that mask the fact that he's scored at least 53.0 DraftKings points in all three games against the Blazers this season.

PG has scored at least 36 real-world points in each of his meetings with Portland this campaign and is averaging 40.0 points, 9.3 boards, 5.3 assists, 2.7 steals, and 5.3 triples per game against them. To put that last number into perspective, Stephen Curry averages 5.2 made threes per game; George's 3.9 threes per game for the season overall ranks third behind only Curry and James Harden.

George is coming off of a poor game, his first outing after missing three games due to a shoulder injury. He showed some rust by shooting just 8-for-25 from the floor. On the bright side, he played a full complement of minutes, so he should be good to go for tonight's contest.

We currently project PG for 49.7 DraftKings points, which would return a value of a touch more than 5.1 points per $1,000.
