3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 11/13/18

Chris Paul, PG, Houston Rockets

DraftKings Price: $8,300

Well, it's only a three-game slate, so why not stick to the same one? The game between the Rockets and Nuggets is likely to be the highest-scoring game of the night.

Over the past three seasons, the teams have averaged a combined 228.9 points when they've met, scoring no fewer than 214. That should bode well for Rockets point guard Chris Paul, who has had no trouble piling up the fake points when meeting Denver in the recent past.

Paul has scored at least 40 DraftKings points in 11 of his past 14 contests against the Nuggets. With no Stephen Curry tonight and Kemba Walker going for a hefty $9,700, that type of output looks very inviting, especially for a relative bargain of $8,300.

The Rockets are going to be very thin tonight. In their last game they had a rotation of just eight players, and that could be the case once again this evening. If the game is close, Paul should see close to 40 minutes this evening, giving him plenty of time to fill the stat sheet.

We project him for 41.1 DraftKings points this evening with much higher upside if the conditions are right. That's just 1.8 points lower than our projections for Kemba, which means that, dollar-for-dollar, Chris Paul is the high-priced point guard you want to target.
