3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 2/15/18

Eric Bledsoe, PG/SG, Milwaukee Bucks

DraftKings Salary: $7,100

If going with a balanced lineup construction tonight, Eric Bledsoe should find his way into some of your rosters, especially if you are going the fade-Giannis route. With both Malcolm Brogdon and Matthew Dellavedova out for the Milwaukee Bucks, Bledsoe has averaged 33 minutes and 40.6 DraftKings points over his past five games. He has hit his salary-implied total at today's cost in each of those games, so you should feel quite comfortable rostering him in an advantageous matchup against the Denver Nuggets.

Denver has allowed the fifth-most DraftKings points per game to opposing point guards this season and had no answer for Bledsoe last year. His three most recent meetings with the Nuggets yielded a 54.5-DraftKings-point average -- highlighted by a 63-DraftKings-point effort the last time he faced them. Obviously, take those numbers with a grain of salt, because they took place while Bledsoe was a member of the Phoenix Suns. However, it is quite clear that he can find success in this matchup.

Given the way he has played recently, along with the extended playing time he is receiving, Bledsoe profiles as one of the strongest plays on the entire slate. He is a viable play in any format.
