3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 2/15/18
On a two-game slate, Karl-Anthony Towns stands out as an elite play, and he has a superb matchup against the Lakers.

Julius Randle, PF/C, Los Angeles Lakers

DraftKings Salary: $6,700

Julius Randle has seen his price drop $700 since last night's game, which just pushes him even further into elite territory tonight. With Larry Nance Jr. out of town, Randle has averaged 34.4 DraftKings points and (more importantly) 32 minutes per game. Randle has played at least 30 minutes just 11 times this season. In those 10 games, he has averaged 41.1 DraftKings points, which clearly exceeds his salary-implied projection of 33.5 at today's price.

Our projections have Randle at 32.1 minutes and 35.3 DraftKings points, which would make him the second-best value on the entire slate. The matchup against Taj Gibson isn't ideal, but Randle has averaged 30.1 DraftKings points in just 23.4 minutes per game in two previous meetings with the 'Wolves this season. With more minutes at his disposal, Randle should have no issue exceeding value at this price tag.
