NBA DFS – Studs, scrubs, and duds Nov. 15
Scrubs
Al Horford (at OKC – $6,100 on DK; $7,000 on FD): As a Thunder fan, I know my Thunder killers. And Al Horford is definitely a Thunder killer. Even with Embiid, Horford will get rebounds and scoring numbers, while contributing in other ways. He’ll hit plenty of shots, come up with a defensive play or two, and be a double-double threat with his rebounding.
Tyson Chandler (vs IND – $4,000 on DK; $3,800 on FD): Capela isn’t going to play, which means Chandler will draw the start. And his salary hasn’t exactly increased, so take advantage of the circumstances. He’s not going to hurt you at this salary and he’ll easily come up with rebounds while getting easy points off of Harden drives.
Jonathan Isaac (vs SA – $6,000 on DK; $7,100 on FD): It’s a high price on FD but the price is good on DK. Isaac can be inconsistent option but the Spurs are weak against the position and Isaac does have big game potential. This feels like a big game for him, but there is a certain risk factor involved due to his overall inconsistency.
Jaren Jackson Jr (vs UTA – $5,500 on DK; $6,900 on FD): It’s a tough matchup as the Jazz are great against the position. But the salary is too good to pass up on when it comes to DK. Triple J gets plenty of minutes and is a big impact player on the Grizzlies next to Morant. The matchup will scare some people away but the DK salary and his ceiling is a worthy risk.
Enes Kanter (at GS – $4,900 on DK; $5,200 on FD): Kanter looks to be back in the lineup without any restrictions and as long as he gets minutes, numbers are rarely an issue for him. He should get plenty of minutes against this Warriors squad given that this Warriors offense isn’t the Warriors offense we’re used to. They are also very weak against the position.
