3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 1/29/18

Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Minnesota Timberwolves

DraftKings Salary: $9,600

Karl-Anthony Towns draws a terrific matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. It's really just a matter of whether or not the value on the rest of the slate will open up to pay all the way up for him. With appealing studs in the price range just below him, he may end up being a luxury more than necessity.

If you feel comfortable enough with your value plays to spend on Towns, you aren't likely to be disappointed. He draws a Hawks team that has allowed the fourth-most DraftKings points per game to opposing centers and has the fifth-worst rebounding rate. Towns heads into this game ranked fifth in rebounds per game and should take advantage of a weak Atlanta frontcourt.

Towns should also benefit from an advantageous game script, as his Minnesota Timberwolves have the highest implied team total on the slate in a game with the highest over/under. Our projections agree that he is one of the top players on the slate, and as long as this game remains competitive, Towns should crush the Hawks. He is a viable play in any format if you can fit him in.
