Scrubs

Lou Williams (vs HOU – $5,900 on DK; $5,500 on FD): The stars will get the attention in this game, and rightfully so, but Lou coming off the bench is the X factor. The Rockets have no bench and Lou should be able to carve them up. He’s at the lower end of the salary scale but can provide more value than the top guys with his scoring ability.

Ben McLemore (at LAC – $4,500 on DK; $4,200 on FD): McLemore will continue to get shots in the Rockets system and he’s a guy who can swing a game like this with his outside shooting. He remains at a great price given the amount of shots he’s likely to get.

Joe Ingles (at ATL – $6,000 on DK; $5,600 on FD): Stack Jazz players. Ingles is under the salary line and continues to play well in recent outings. The Jazz offense should have no issue getting things going against the poor Hawks. Ingles will hit shots and chip in in other areas.

Dejounte Murray (vs BKN – $5,700 on DK; $6,600 on FD): Murray has been playing well since moving back into the starting lineup and he has a good matchup against the Nets. He’s looking more like himself after the injury last season and is earning more trust and playing time. He should be well over value.
