3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 2/26/19

Kyrie Irving, PG, Boston Celtics

DraftKings Price: $8,800

If you are looking for a stud outside of the Denver-OKC game, you should strongly consider using Kyrie Irving, who has been completely dominant in the Boston Celtics' past two games against the Toronto Raptors, both of which were wins for Boston.

Irving put up 43 points and 11 assists against the Raptors in a 123-116 victory on November 11. He followed that up with a 27-point, 18-dime outing when the two teams met last month. Those games were good for 71.5 and 63.8 DraftKings points, respectively.

He was rather muted in the first meeting of the season (37.0 DraftKings points), which came in the Celtics' second game of the year. Irving struggled that month, however, no matter the opponent. He averaged just 32.8 DraftKings points per game in seven October contests. He has averaged at least 45.4 DraftKings points per game in each month since.

Tonight's game is expected to be a relatively high-scoring clash as the total is set at 226.5 points, implying that there will be plenty of fantasy potential here. Our models think so, as well, projecting Irving for 46.5 DraftKings points.
