3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 12/26/17
Andre Drummond has owned the Pacers this season, and he gets another matchup with them tonight. Which other high-priced players are worth a look?

Andre Drummond, C, Detroit Pistons

DraftKings Salary: $9,300

Andre Drummond's price has risen $700 in anticipation of this matchup, which may make him more of a tournament-only target given the amount of minutes he has played recently. It has been nearly two weeks since Drummond has played 30 minutes in a contest, and that has made him tough to trust in cash games. His upside is through the roof in this matchup, though.

Drummond will face an Indiana Pacers frontcourt which he has dominated in his first three meetings this season. He's averaged 16.0 points and 16.3 rebounds in those games -- good for 47.3 DraftKings points per outing. That shouldn't come as much of a surprise, as Indiana ranks in the bottom 10 in both rebounding rate and DraftKings points allowed to opposing centers.

Myles Turner and company are especially bad at keeping opponents off of the offensive glass, as they rank second-to-last in defensive rebounding rate and have allowed the league's most points via putbacks. No player has scored more points on putbacks than Drummond over the past three seasons.

He has averaged 5.7 offensive rebounds in three meetings with Indiana and should continue to terrorize them on the glass. His upside is through the roof in this matchup -- just be aware of his floor, as well.
