Scrubs

Lou Williams (at WAS – $6,200 on DK; $6,800 on FD): Williams slips in under the salary line on DK. He’s struggled recently, but going against the Wizards is never a bad idea. Expect him and Harrell to have a big outing in this one as they get going against the Wizards bench.

Ish Smith (vs LAC – $5,000 on DK; $4,600 on FD): Smith has been great since moving into the starting role. The Clippers can be a tough matchup when they are on their game but they are very weak against the position. Offense has never been an issue for the Wizards so expect this one to be a high scoring affair.

Marc Gasol (at PHI – $4,600 on DK; $5,800 on FD): Gasol is a consistent option if nothing else. He’s not going to hurt you, especially on DK. He’s going to log good minutes against Embiid and he can do a little bit of everything on the floor. He’s guaranteed value and the potential for a bigger game is there.

Tyler Herro (vs CHI – $5,200 on DK; $4,600 on FD): Herro and Nunn are around the same value and both offer good things. Nunn is more consistent but Herro has the higher ceiling. The Heat offense should have no issue against the Bulls and multiple guys will be able to chip in. I prefer Herro’s ceiling in this one.

Tim Hardaway Jr (vs SAC – $4,800 on DK; $4,700 on FD): Hardaway Jr is one of the more inconsistent players in the league but this is a matchup that I’m feeling. The offense will definitely be up and Hardaway Jr rarely lacks for opportunities. He’s down right now, but his lower salary works to your favor and he’ll be able to come up with a strong outing. Admittedly, he is a risk.
