3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 2/26/18

Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Minnesota Timberwolves

DraftKings Salary: $9,900

Karl-Anthony Towns could be a forgotten man tonight after he burned the masses on both Friday and Saturday of last week. This slate is full of appealing center options, and most people will be inclined to spend up on the Phoenix-New Orleans game. Other top studs such as Russell Westbrook ($11,800) and James Harden ($11,100) are also in matchups they have dominated in the past, so they may garner big ownership, as well.

Hopefully recency bias keeps people off of KAT tonight, because he could be a game-changing contrarian play if his ownership is down.

While Towns has been in a funk recently, you couldn't draw up a much better get-right spot than a clash against the Sacramento Kings. Sacramento has allowed the fifth-most DraftKings points to opposing centers this season, and Towns has decimated their defense in two meetings. He's averaged 63 DraftKings points against them this campaign, which brings his per-game average up to 57.7 DK points over his past four matchups with Sacramento.

Towns should be the focal point of the Minnesota Timberwolves' offense as his usage rate is up 2.3% with Jimmy Butler off the floor, while his DraftKings points per minute is up to 1.29.

Davis is definitely the preferred former Kentucky Wildcat in cash games tonight, but do not overlook Towns in tournaments.
