3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 4/6/18

Josh Jackson, SG/SF, Phoenix Suns

DraftKings Salary: $7,500

With Devin Booker and T.J. Warren sidelined, Josh Jackson has picked up the slack for the Phoenix Suns, and has turned into a reliable fantasy contributor on a nightly basis. He has at least 30.0 DraftKings points in every game over the past three weeks and is averaging 38.5 DraftKings points during that span. He needs 37.5 DraftKings points at this salary, but with Booker and Warren unlikely to play tonight, expect Jackson to push for that type of a total again.

In addition to an expanded role, Jackson has a soft matchup on his side tonight, as he faces a New Orleans squad that's given up the second-most points per game to opponents this season. If that wasn't enough, these two teams are tied for first in pace of play, so there should be plenty of transition scoring opportunities for Jackson to use his athleticism and make the most of.

On the year, Jackson has averaged 17.0 points and 33.4 DraftKings points in two games against New Orleans, despite being limited to less than 30 minutes in both games. Given his 35-plus minute role without Warren and Booker, Jackson should have no problem exceeding value in this spot.
