Top star players, best value picks, and guys you should stay a way from on November 26 in NBA DFS on DraftKings and FanDuel.

Welcome to Studs, Scrubs, and Duds; FanSided’s NBA DFS lineup helper.

Here’s what’s on the slate for tonight:

8:30 p.m. ET: LA Clippers at Dallas
9 p.m. ET: Washington at Denver

How this works:

Studs: Top high salary picks that you can build your lineup around.
Scrubs: Value players looking for a big night or consistent options to help fill out your lineup.
Duds: Players to avoid given their high salary and/or poor matchup.

Five players are picked on each slide, positions are not applicable, and both DraftKings and FanDuel salaries are listed.

Studs

Kawhi Leonard (at DAL – $8,800 on DK; $10,200 on FD): There aren’t many options to choose from on Tuesday. Of the two LA stars, I prefer Kawhi to PG. Granted, Kawhi is going to cost you more than PG, but he’ll be worth it in this matchup. A double-double is a possibility and he can chip in with defense.

Luka Doncic (vs LAC – $11,400 on DK; $12,500 on FD): There’s no stopping Luka, but if there is a team that can stop Luka, it would be the team with two defensive studs and Patrick Beverley. But I’m not buying it. Luka is on an absolute roll and despite the Clippers defense, I’m going with Luka no matter the price.

Davis Bertans (at DEN – $5,200 on DK; $6,000 on FD): The Wizards only have one high salary player and that’s Bradley Beal. I’m not feeling Beal on Tuesday due to the matchup. There’s some good value in the Washington depth. And Bertans has been a consistent option at a good price. He’s worth a spot on your roster.

Jamal Murray (vs WAS – $7,400 on DK; $7,800 on FD): Stack Nuggets on this night. They have the best matchup on the night given the lack of defense the Wizards usually employ. Jokic will probably have a big night, but we’ll get to him later. I love Murray’s value in this game as he’s a big time scorer who can put up plenty of points and assists in this one.
