3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 3/27/19

Devin Booker, PG/SG, Phoenix Suns

DraftKings Price: $9,200

Last time we saw Devin Booker, he was racking up 59 points and going for 60 late in the Phoenix Suns' blowout loss to the Utah Jazz. He reached a season-high with 71.5 DraftKings points on a monster 49.5% -- yes, almost 50% -- usage rate. The 22-year-old knocked down 19 of 34 shots against the NBA's second-ranked defense, so if you're questioning his upside against a Washington Wizards team rated as the fourth-worst defense -- don't.

The Suns are even worse than the Wizards defensively, which has oddsmakers putting a slate-high 231 total on this one. The Suns' 114.5 implied total is third of all teams with them just two-point underdogs in what should be a close game out at Talking Stick Resort Arena.

At home, Booker has 3.3 fewer DraftKings points per game this season, but his usage is up to 34.2% this month, a 5.6% increase from February and 2.6% above his rate for the season. He's also accounted for a trio of double-doubles as he has assisted on 31.8% of made buckets and averaged 1.32 DraftKings points per minute, according to NBA Wowy.

Given the Suns' injuries, Booker will play at least 36 minutes and could potentially close in on 40. He checks in fourth in our projections, at 50.4 fantasy points, despite sitting fifth in price and $1,300 off the top guy on the board.
