NBA DFS – Studs, Scrubs, & Duds (Dec 7)
Scrubs
Jae Crowder (at UTA – $5,500 on DK; $5,700 on FD): Crowder has been good against his former team this season and has been consistent for the majority of the season. At this price, he is unlike to hurt you very much. It’s always nice to have some guaranteed value with a good ceiling, which is what Crowder offers.
Ben McLemore (vs PHO – $4,900 on DK; $4,500 on FD): McLeMore can be inconsistent but you know he’s going to get shots and he has two good playmakers to set him up. The offense should be up in a big way against the Suns because it’s a great offense against the Suns.
Cameron Johnson (at HOU – $4,100 on DK; $4,100 on FD): Johnson is a very inconsistent player but the Rockets are weak against the position and one of these lower salary guys are going to outplay their salary in a big way on this slow night with less guaranteed value. Johnson has shown a high ceiling and he’s my sneaky pick to surprise a lot of people on Saturday.
Jeremy Lamb (at NY – $5,800 on DK; $6,300 on FD): Once again, stack against the Knicks. Don’t get caught up in the coach firing boost. It works for a lot of teams. But the Knicks always defy logic. Lamb is a guarantee value player with a high ceiling given his potential and the matchup.
