3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 12/26/18

Nikola Vucevic, C, Orlando Magic

DraftKings Price: $8,900

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic is coming off of perhaps his worst game of the season. He hit just 3-of-12 shots and finished with 8 points and 7 boards across 29 minutes in a blowout loss to the Miami Heat. The good thing is, however, that he gets a stellar matchup to try and bounce back to his dominant form this evening.

The Magic host the Phoenix Suns tonight in a game the Magic are expected to win by five. Vucevic destroyed the Suns earlier this year, finishing with 25 points, 15 boards, 3 assists, a steal, and a block in a 53.75 DraftKings point effort. It was the fourth time in the past five games against them that he's scored at least 46.75 DraftKings points.

The Suns are giving up the second-most DraftKings points per game to opposing centers this year, according to FantasyPros. Coupled with Vooch's past performances against Phoenix, it's no wonder that we project him to have a solid game tonight. Our models have him scoring 45.5 DraftKings points tonight, making him the third-highest projected scorer of the evening.
