Scrubs

Derrick Rose (vs SA – $5,400 on DK; $5,700 on FD): Rose has been good more often that not in the last week. This is a mess of a matchup as neither team can figure out how good they are and this could either be an offensive explosion game or outright ugly basketball. Rose should get you value if nothing else and has a high ceiling.

Markelle Fultz (vs GS – $5,300 on DK; $5,600 on FD): Fultz has been nothing if not consistent as of late, which is the good news. The better news is that he’s up against the Warriors, who are extremely weak at the position. This should be an easy game for Fultz to produce big given his overall ability and the matchup.

JJ Redick (vs OKC – $5,300 on DK; $5,400 on FD): I also like Jaxson Hayes to have a bounce back performance against the Thunder given that the Pelicans are at home and the Thunder don’t play well on the road. But I like Redick’s shooting in this matchup and believe he’ll have a strong night from the field.

Royce O’Neale (at TOR – $4,200 on DK; $3,900 on FD): O’Neale had a rough game against Indiana, but otherwise has played well. As mentioned earlier, while the Raptors have a strong defense, they aren’t good against the position. And O’Neale plays a big role off the Utah bench. He’s at a price where he’s unlikely to hurt you and can hit big.

Marquese Chriss (at ORL – $4,900 on DK; $5,300 on FD): You never quite know what you’re getting out of the Warriors on a night to night basis, but Chriss has been very consistent for them over the last couple of weeks and this is a great matchup with Vucevic being out of the lineup. Like Fultz and Rose, he’s a guy that will almost certainly get you value and has the opportunity to hit huge.
