3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 3/8/19

Paul George, SF/PF, Oklahoma City Thunder

DraftKings Price: $9,700

Paul George has not been shooting the ball well recently, at least from the floor. Over his past four games -- including last night's overtime win over the Portland Trail Blazers -- George has hit just 26-of-91 shots for a paltry 28.6% field goal percentage.

His free throw shooting, on the other hand, has not been affected. Over that same span, George has hit 34-of-39 (87.2%) from the charity stripe, including a career-best 17 last night. His aggressiveness in getting to the line and his ability to rack up boards and steals has helped compensate for his poor shooting, having helped him to 65.0 DraftKings points on Thursday.

George is averaging career bests in points (28.6), rebounds (8.10, assists (4.2), and steals (2.3) this year. He'd be a near shoo-in for MVP in many years, though it will be hard to happen this season with the numbers Harden and Giannis Antetokounmpo are putting up.

He's faced the Los Angeles Clippers, tonight's opponent, three times this season and has scored at least 57.25 DraftKings points in each of his past two against them. He'll have a chance to stuff the stat sheet once more tonight in a game with a total set at 237 points, the highest on the slate. We project him to score 50.4 DraftKings points when all is said and done.
