3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 12/5/17

Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

DraftKings Salary: $9,400

Damian Lillard was priced up pretty sharply for this game, but that shouldn't come as much of a surprise given the way he has performed recently. Lillard has averaged 46.3 DraftKings points over his past five games, with two 50-plus point performances mixed in there.

He should be able to carry that success into this matchup against the Washington Wizards, who have struggled against opposing point guards since the injury to John Wall. Some of the performances they've allowed during that time include 41.25 DraftKings points to Alec Burks, 30.5 to Tyus Jones, 66 to Ben Simmons, and 46 to Lillard a little over a week ago.

With Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder in a tough spot against the Utah Jazz and the Toronto Raptors in a game with tons of blowout potential, Lillard is the safest point-per-dollar stud on the slate. He is viable in all formats on this three-gamer.
