3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 3/29/19
Nikola Jokic is coming off an underwhelming performance but looks poised to bounce back on Friday night.

Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

DraftKings Price: $10,100

To those of you who used Damian Lillard on Wednesday night, you have my condolences. The Portland Trail Blazers All-Star point guard simply didn't need to do much as his team broke out to a big lead and romped to a 118-98 victory over the Chicago Bulls. Tonight's game should be much closer and help you forget his rare poor fantasy outing.

The third-place Blazers have an away game against the surprisingly difficult Atlanta Hawks, a team who has won three straight, including wins over the Philadelphia 76ers and Utah Jazz, both of whom were running at full capacity.

Dame missed the first time these teams played this season back on January 26; teammate C.J. McCollum took advantage of his absence and recorded his first career triple-double. Tonight, it will be C.J. on the sideline and Dame ready to pounce, something he has done regularly when McCollum has been absent.

Before that 29.0-DraftKings-point debacle against the Bulls, Dame had scored 63.5, 65.25, 50.0, and 62.0 DraftKings points with McCollum on the sidelines nursing a knee injury. He'll certainly have the opportunity to bust out again, as tonight's game against the Hawks has the Blazers as just three-point favorites with a 233.5 total, the highest on the slate.

Don't let his recent outing fool you -- it's Dame Time.
