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

Nikola Jokic, C, Denver Nuggets

DraftKings Salary: $8,600

Simply, put -- Nikola Jokic is too cheap. He is averaging 52.1 DraftKings points over his past five games and has four 60-burgers over his past 10 games. His price tag is down a full $1,000 from where it was last week and requires just 43 DraftKings points of him to hit value (5 points per every $1,000 in salary).

Our projections love Jokic tonight. Not only does he stand out as the best point-per-dollar value among players priced above $5,000, but he is the highest-projected scorer on the entire slate. Considering there are six dudes priced above Jokic, he is incredibly appealing.

The Joker put up 53.25 DraftKings points the last time he faced the Sixers, and a repeat performance wouldn't be all that surprising. Philly has allowed the sixth-most points per possession against post-ups this season, and as we mentioned with Embiid, this game script is the best on the slate. Either of Embiid or Jokic could very well end up the highest scorer on the slate, but Jokic is the stronger play at a $800 discount. He is the top point-per-dollar stud on the board tonight, per our models.
