NBA DFS: Studs, scrubs, and duds for November 1
Scrubs
Jeremy Lamb (vs. CLE – $5,600 on DK; $6,400 on FD): Lamb has played well thus far in Indiana and a game against the Cavaliers should yield another positive outcome. He’s at a great salary on DraftKings and with the Pacers needing guys to step up to offset the loss of Turner, Lamb is a candidate to do just that.
Spencer Dinwiddie (vs. HOU – $5,300 on DK; $5,900 on FD): As mentioned on the previous slide, the offense is going to be up in this one and that means Dinwiddie will be a contributor for the Nets side of things. Kyrie and Caris will steal the headlines but Dinwiddie is a game changer off the bench for the Nets. Expect a big night out of him.
Richaun Holmes (vs. UTA – $5,500 on DK; $6,500 on FD): The Kings are lacking frontcourt options and Holmes has proven himself to be consistent enough over the last couple of seasons. It’s a tough matchup, but he should get plenty of rebounds and flirt with a double-double. Salary is probably too high on FD but he’s a nice option on DK.
Tim Frazier (at CHI – $3,500 on DK; $3,500 on FD): This is about the circumstance if Rose is out as well. Frazier has proven in the past that he can have a big game and the timing seems right for that big game given the extra opportunities he could see and the opponent in front of him. Won’t hurt you at this salary either, but is less desirable if Rose plays.
Bojan Bogdanovic (at SAC – $5,400 on DK; $5,300 on FD): Bogdanovic had a rough last outing, but trust him to bounce back against a Kings squad that gives up points and in a matchup against his brother. Bojan always seems to have a little something extra against his brother.
