3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 3/2/18

Blake Griffin, PF/C, Detroit Pistons

DraftKings Salary: $7,400

Blake Griffin also heads into tonight's slate at a steep discount as he was priced all the way up to $9,800 prior to the All-Star Break. He also has been a victim of blowouts, as all four of the Detroit Pistons post-break games have had at least a 15-point differential heading into the fourth quarter. He's also been quite inefficient during that time, shooting 37.3% from the field and averaging an uncharacteristic 0.80 DraftKings points per minute over that span.

His recent inconsistency makes him more of a tournament play than cash-game lock, but he is a very interesting buy-low candidate in tournaments. Griffin needs 37 DraftKings points to hit value at this price tag, a clip he hit in seven of his eight games with the Pistons prior to the All-Star Break.

This is a logical spot for a bounce-back, too, as Griffin gets an up-tempo matchup against the Magic, who rank 29th in rebounding rate and have given up top-10 DraftKings production to both power forwards and centers. Our projections love him, too, giving him an identical value score to DeRozan. Be sure to get some exposure to Griffin if building multiple tournament lineups tonight.
