NBA DFS: Studs, scrubs, and duds November 24
Duds
Kawhi Leonard (vs NO – $10,200 on DK; $9,800 on FD): Kawhi will get his numbers but I have my doubts on him being the top scorer on the night. The matchup is great, but it also means the Clippers will get contributions from everyone, meaning Kawhi won’t have to do as much. There’s simply better value below him given his salary.
Brandon Ingram (at LAC – $8,400 on DK; $9,500 on FD): It’s a tough matchup for Ingram as he is going to see a lot of Kawhi and George. He’s been playing great and he can do a bit of everything but I’m liking Holiday more on the Pelicans on Sunday.
Devin Booker (at DEN – $8,300 on DK; $8,200 on FD): It’s a back to back for Booker and a tough matchup as well. The Nuggets defense is very good and Booker isn’t going to have much room to operate, especially if Rubio remains out of the lineup. There’s better value before Booker with better matchups.
Julius Randle (vs BKN – $7,100 on DK; $8,000 on FD): The good news for Randle is that it’s a good matchup. The bad news is that the Knicks are on a back to back and Randle just hasn’t provided the big games you need out of him at this price. He will likely be around value, which is the good news. But you need more for the salary.
DeAndre Jordan (at NY – $4,800 on DK; $5,400 on FD): Jordan isn’t exactly getting the minutes right now and you can’t make an impact from the bench. It’s a good matchup as the Knicks are the Knicks. But Jordan just isn’t offering much value at this point, especially at this price.
