3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 3/6/18

Kemba Walker, PG, Charlotte Hornets

DraftKings Salary: $7,600

Kemba Walker stands out as one of the most underpriced players on the slate, needing just 38 DraftKings points to reach five-times value at this salary. He has done that in 54.8% of his games this season, which is the second-highest mark among players price above $7,000 today. He's hit it in a ridiculous 72.7% of his games over the past month, which is a higher frequency than any player priced above $7,000.

He's averaged 39 DraftKings points in six games since returning from the All-Star break and now gets a home matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers have been solid defensively, but have struggled against the pick and roll. They've allowed the fifth-highest points per possession to opposing pick-and-roll ball handlers, which is great news for Walker. Nobody runs that play like Kemba, who leads the league in points scored out of the pick-and-roll for the third straight season.

Walker put up 43.25 DraftKings points in his first meeting with Philly and could certainly be in store for another big game at home. He is our top projected value and a viable play in all formats at this price tag.
