3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 11/15/18

Jamal Murray, PG/SG, Denver Nuggets

DraftKings Price: $6,500

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray should not be counted on as a three-point specialist. The third-year player is hitting just 27.7% of his shots from deep, more than a 10% dropoff from last year. That's been one of his only weak spots in the 2018-19 season, however.

Murray's 17.8 points, 4.1 boards, and 3.8 dimes per game are all career highs. He put up 48 points 10 days ago but has since scored between 14 and 16 points in each of his subsequent games. Hopefully a matchup against a porous Atlanta Hawks defense will get the scoring flowing once again.

The Hawks are giving up an average of 52.77 DraftKings points to opposing point guards, according to FantasyPros. That's the second-worst mark in the league, which isn't all that surprising for a team who gives up 117.7 points per game, the most in the league.

Murray enters tonight's game with a mid-range salary of $6,500, a number that looks very enticing given our projection of 32.6 DraftKings points. If he can find his shooting stroke again, we have his upside in the high 50s for this evening's tilt.
