3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 3/28/18

Kemba Walker, PG, Charlotte Hornets

DraftKings Salary: $8,500

Thanks to their recent winning streak, the Charlotte Hornets still cling to a sliver of hope of making the playoffs, so we should expect a full complement of minutes for Kemba Walker and company tonight. That is great news considering how juicy the game script in this one is. Walker's Hornets have the highest implied team total among teams with a single-digit spread, and the over/under in this one is the highest on the slate.

Charlotte's 113.8-point implied team total is 6 points above their season scoring average. As for Walker, he is red-hot heading into this one, averaging 30.0 actual points and 47.4 DraftKings points over his past five games. He should take full advantage of the additional scoring opportunities that comes with playing in a game with such a high total.

Walker also should benefit from a matchup against a Cleveland Cavaliers squad playing their second game in as many nights. On top of tired legs, the Cavs rank 29th in defensive efficiency on the year and have surrendered top-five DraftKings production to opposing point guards. They have no answer for Walker, making him a viable play in all formats.
