3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 3/11/19

Kevin Love, PF/C, Cleveland Cavaliers

DraftKings Price: $7,700

The Cleveland Cavaliers may be a dumpster fire this season, but don't blame forward/center Kevin Love for their woes. The Cavs are battling the New York Knicks and Phoenix Suns for the worst record in the league, but they are an astounding 5-4 (hey, any winning record is astounding when your team is 34-games below .500) when Love has played since he returned in February.

Love was understandably eased back into action after a months-long hiatus, but he's now up to speed and has played more than 30 minutes in back-to-back contests and at least 28 in each of his past five. He has five double-doubles in his past seven games, quickly reminding people why he's one of the preeminent fantasy players when healthy.

Love gets a tough matchup tonight against the Toronto Raptors, but if the Cavs have any hope of pulling off an upset, it's Love who will need to step up again, especially with Larry Nance Jr. out with a rib bruise.

In a Cavs uniform, Love has scored at least 38.5 DraftKings points (a value of 5.0 points per $1,000) nine of the past 11 times he's faced the Toronto. We project him to make it 10 of 12, pegging him for 43.0 DraftKings points tonight.
