Scrubs

Aron Baynes (vs MEM – $4,900 on DK; $5,400 on FD): Baynes is back and the only real concern is minutes restriction. He was playing excellent before the injury and the Grizzlies are weak against the position. The restriction is worrisome, but Baynes can do a lot in a limited amount of time and his salary isn’t one that is going to cripple you. He’s worth the small risk given the upside.

Harrison Barnes (vs OKC – $5,900 on DK; $5,900 on FD): Barnes is a guy that typically plays very well against the Thunder. As does Buddy Hield if you’re looking for another player at a higher salary. The Kings are playing very well right now and though the Thunder have potentially turned things around, Barnes is going to get his opportunities. I trust my Thunder killers to be Thunder killers.

Jabari Parker (at CHI – $6,100 on DK; $6,300 on FD): Parker always seems to play well against the Bulls. And he’s played well all season on the offensive end, which is certainly an encouraging sign. The Bulls offer absolutely nothing and Parker is a double-double threat with his rebounding and scoring. Expect the scoring to be up in this one.

RJ Barrett (at GS – $5,700 on DK; $6,400 on FD): There’s some very good value in this game because neither team has many high salary players and someone has to get numbers for both teams. Barrett has shown a good ceiling and this should be a game where the offense is up a bit. I’m singling out Barrett because I like his scoring, but don’t be afraid to look at Marcus Morris, Draymond Green, or Eric Paschall (if he plays). All are available around the same salary.

Ben McLemore (at CLE – $5,400 on DK; $5,000 on FD): I’m going to keep taking Ben McLemore because he’s going to keep shooting the ball and the threes help in a big way, especially on DK. The matchups remain favorable, not only because they are weak defenses but also because of the way the Rockets offense functions. McLemore should be in for another strong night.
