NBA DFS: Studs, scrubs, and duds for November 3rd
Scrubs
Kendrick Nunn (vs. HOU – $ on DK; $6,200 on FD): Nunn has continued to play consistent basketball and as mentioned on the previous slide, I’m not buying the Rockets defense for nay reason. Nunn should be able to keep up his scoring pace while chipping in in other categories.
PJ Tucker (at MIA – $ on DK; $6,000 on FD): Tucker has been the most consistent role player for the Rockets and the addition of Westbrook has benefitted him as he’s great at shooting from the corner and Westbrook is great at driving and finding the guy in the corner. Tucker should continue to be a consistent threat for the Rockets.
Dwight Howard (at SA – $ on DK; $4,900 on FD): The Spurs have not done well against the position this season and Howard is playing his best basketball in forever. He’s not putting up the flashy numbers we saw in his prime, but he’s making the right play, he’s at a good salary, and he’s already earned the trust of his teammates. I like him more than guys like Kleber and Sexton.
Delon Wright (at CLE – $ on DK; $5,700 on FD): This largely depends on the status of Luka. If he’s unable to play, the guards are going to see more run for the Mavericks. Wright has shown that he can have a big game, but has struggled with his consistency. He’s a slight risk because of his consistency, but the circumstances could be too good to pass up on.
Ivica Zubac (vs UTA – $ on DK; $4,400 on FD): Zubac doesn’t play the most consistent minutes, but he had a good game in limited minutes against the Jazz on Oct. 30 and will be needed more often than usual to combat the size of Rudy Gobert. He won’t hurt you much at this salary and I fully expect him to be over value.
