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

Kevin Durant, SF/PF, Golden State Warriors

DraftKings Price: $8,700

While Booker's price is up, Kevin Durant's has taken a downturn in the last handful of games. Less than a week ago, he was listed at $9,100 before dipping down to $8,900 in his last game, one in which he hit just five of six shot attempts for 14 points. However, his 11 assists helped to salvage the day for 39.75 DraftKings points.

The decrease comes ahead of a matchup with the Grizzlies, who present a pace-down game at face value. But Memphis -- last on the year in pace -- is up to 20th in the month of March, averaging 99.43 possessions a game, 1.21 below the Warriors' average in the same time. They've allowed 121.7 points per game in the last six (albeit with two overtime games), so don't be shocked by the Dubs' 113.5 total.

Not only is KD cheaper than Stephen Curry, but, according to FantasyPros, the Grizz give up 20.1 points and 39.7 DraftKings points to small forwards, and Durant is not your average guy. The hope is that he comes out aggressive after laying low on Sunday, creating an opportunity to get value from him at this price and at potentially lower ownership.

At forward, Paul George is projected for 8.8 more DraftKings points, but Durant will run you $1,200 less for a ceiling of 60-plus. He's a superb tournament play tonight.
