Scrubs

Danilo Gallinari (at IND – $6,400 on DK; $6,400 on FD): Gallinari is coming off a poor shooting night but still does enough to get you at least value. It’s a tough matchup but it’s hard to see Gallinari struggling in a similar manner for two straight games. With a lowered salary, expect a bounce back performance.

TJ Warren (vs OKC – $5,700 on DK; $6,100 on FD): Warren can be inconsistent but he always does well against the Thunder. And we know Warren has big scoring potential. With OKC focusing on Sabonis and Brogdon, look for things to open up a bit with Warren.

Kendrick Nunn (vs DET – $4,700 on DK; $5,000 on FD): Nunn’s hot start appears to be over but this lesser salary plays to your advantage. The Pistons are on a back-to-back and continue to be a mediocre team. If there’s a game where Nunn can find his rhythm again, this will be the one. If he doesn’t get it done here, then things might be catching up to him already.

Dwight Howard (at PHO – $4,300 on DK; $4,700 on FD): If Davis doesn’t play, Howard should get some extra time in the frontcourt. You can also look at Kyle Kuzma, who hasn’t really gotten on track this season but certainly has the position and is at a good salary. Howard isn’t always the most consistent option, but the circumstances could play in his favor.

Kent Bazemore (at SAC – $4,700 on DK; $4,400 on FD): The same for Bazemore, who could once again benefit from an injury to Rodney Hood. He played well in the last game as the starter and another start against a matchup like Sacramento should bode well for him. Even off the bench, he’s at a good enough salary to where he shouldn’t hurt you too much.
