NBA DFS: Studs, scrubs, and duds for November 13
Scrubs
Patrick Beverley (at HOU – $5,500 on DK; $5,000 on FD): This is a Patrick Beverley game. He’s going up against a good team with two All Star players, one of which is Westbrook. Beverley will have his fingerprints all over this game, contributing in all areas.
Josh Richardson (at ORL – $5,200 on DK; $6,400 on FD): It’s a back-to-back for the Sixers, which is a concern. And they played the Cavaliers closer than they would have liked. And the Magic have a stout defense. But Richardson is at a good salary, especially on DK, and with Harris struggling, Richardson is a guy who can continue to step up.
Jaren Jackson Jr. (at CHA – $4,800 on DK; $7,000 on FD): Triple J has been inconsistent but his salary is way too low for the minutes and opportunities he’s given. The matchup helps as well as the Hornets aren’t exactly a great team. He’s too good to pass up at this salary.
Austin Rivers (vs LAC – $3,700 on DK; $3,500 on FD): With Eric Gordon out, someone will have to carry the scoring load behind the two stars. And Rivers is the guy who can step up and carry that load. He’s a scorer who can hit shots and pick up assists. He’s not going to hurt you at this price either.
Chris Boucher (at POR – $4,300 on DK; $6,500 on FD): Boucher has stepped up with the injuries to the Raptors frontcourt and he gets a great matchup against the Blazers banged up frontcourt, which doesn’t seem to exist right now. He’ll be a double-double threat in this game.
