NBA DFS: Studs, scrubs, and duds December 2
Scrubs
Robin Lopez (vs NY – $4,400 on DK; $3,500 on FD): If Brook doesn’t play, Robin makes sense as he should get some of those minutes his brother typically gets. Ersan Ilyasova is another option in this spot as he does offer a more similar game to Brook with his outside shooting. It’s the Bucks against the Knicks, who are on a back to back, meaning there’s some good value with Milwaukee role players.
Miles Bridges (vs PHO – $5,500 on DK; $5,700 on FD): Bridges has a high ceiling and I’ll say it once again; the points should be high in this game. We’ll see multiple guys go above their value in this one and even though Bridges is a little on the high side when it comes to value salary, he’ll be worth a pick.
Khris Middleton (vs NY – $5,700 on DK; $6,400 on FD): The only thing holding Middleton back right now is a lack of minutes. But he’s still delivering even in those limited minutes and it should be an easy night at the office for Middleton given the matchup. The Knicks are better against the position than you may think. But they are still the Knicks.
Myles Turner (at MEM – $5,700 on DK; $6,700 on FD): Turner is at a great price on DK. He can be inconsistent and he may even be a little frustrated with the Pacers right now. But sometimes, that leads to a players best game of the season. The matchup is certainly a good one with the Grizzlies being on a back to back. Maybe a slight risk because things could go south, but he’s worth the risk on DraftKings.
Ky Bowman (at ATL – $5,100 on DK; $5,800 on FD): Another good price on DK. The Warriors can be all over the place as you never know who is going to step up on any given night. But I’m rocking with Bowman on Monday due to his scoring ability against an Atlanta team that can bleed points.
