Scrubs

DeAndre’ Bembry (vs. MIA – $4,700 on DK; $4,700 on FD): The Hawks guards will have to step up with Trae Young out of the lineup. Bembry is going to get his shot and is at a good enough salary to where, even if he doesn’t have the big game you would hope, he also shouldn’t hurt you.

Bryn Forbes (at LAC – $4,100 on DK; $4,400 on FD): Forbes provides great value at this salary as he’s a consistent player who always gets minutes. The Clippers are on a back-to-back, which should help as well. Forbes is a nice salary saver who is going to get you value if nothing else.

Will Barton (at NO – $5,000 on DK; $5,900 on FD): Barton can be inconsistent, but he does have a high ceiling and he is playing possibly the worst defense in the league. He’s at a great salary on DraftKings and he will definitely get his scoring opportunities. Look for Barton to be well above his salary given the offense.

Jaxson Hayes (vs. DEN – $3,500 on DK; $3,800 on FD): Hayes saw time against the Warriors and should see time against the Nuggets if Derrick Favors isn’t able to play. If Favors can play, there are still some cheap frontcourt options on the Pelicans. They will need to keep their frontcourt fresh against the talent Denver can throw out there.

Kendrick Nunn (at ATL – $5,600 on DK; $5,800 on FD): It comes down to Nunn or Herro. Herro had the bigger game last time out, but Nunn is going to play more guaranteed minutes, which is why I would still lean towards him. Herro may have the slightly higher ceiling with his bench role and ability to get hot, but Nunn is the more reliable option.
