NBA DFS: Studs, scrubs, and duds for November 26
Scrubs
Lou Williams (at DAL – $6,300 on DK; $7,200 on FD): Lou is slightly over the salary line on DraftKings but we’re going to ignore our usual rules due to the slow night. You can also look towards Montrezl Harrell, who is coming off a big game and has the great chemistry with Lou coming off the bench. And that’s why I like Lou in this game. He should be able to carve up the Dallas bench unit, which on the whole isn’t great.
Dorian Finney-Smith (vs LAC – $4,400 on DK; $4,400 on FD): There’s not a ton to like with the Dallas role players as the majority of them are inconsistent. But Finney-Smith is the one guy who brings some consistency to the team and at this price, is a safe bet. He’s not going to hurt you at this salary and should get you value if nothing else.
Paul Millsap (vs WAS – $5,400 on DK; $6,600 on FD): Stack Nuggets. Millsap has been extremely inconsistent so if you’re looking for a well-priced option who isn’t going to hurt you and, like Finney-Smith, will get you value if nothing else, Millsap is your guy. His ceiling is also much higher because he is a double-double threat.
Will Barton (vs WAS – $6,100 on DK; $6,700 on FD): One more time. Stack. Nuggets. Barton isn’t as consistent as Millsap, but if you want to spend the extra $100 on FanDuel over Millsap, Barton does have the higher ceiling of the two. I prefer Millsap on DK due to the salary and consistency, but Barton’s ceiling, combined with a low risk given the match up, makes him attractive.
