Scrubs

Alec Burks (vs NO – $5,400 on DK; $5,500 on FD): This is a matchup where there’s plenty of value across the board as the offense should be up on both sides. And each team has role players that can get hot at any moment. Burks is that guy for the Warriors. And someone like Josh Hart can be that guy for the Pelicans if you want to look his way as well.

Steven Adams (vs PHO – $6,100 on DK; $6,300 on FD): Adams typically plays well against the Suns and he’s doing more and more this season. He’s a low key double-double threat and has been chipping in with assists this season. I think he has big scoring potential in this game given the matchup and his ability on the roll. He should be nicely above value.

Dillon Brooks (at CLE – $4,900 on DK; $5,000 on FD): Brooks has shown a high ceiling this season and even though there is a lack on consistency throughout the Grizzlies, you can rarely go wrong in a matchup against the Cavaliers. The Grizzlies have some nice value players due to their overall lack of top end talent and this is a matchup to take advantage of.

Tyler Herro (vs NY – $5,100 on DK; $4,900 on FD): Herro has played consistent ball in recent games and now he gets the Knicks. The Knicks aren’t terrible against the position but they’re also the Knicks. Herro has shown that he can also chip in with rebounds and assists even if he’s not scorching hot from the field. His salary is fantastic as well.

OG Anunoby (vs WAS – $5,600 on DK; $5,700 on FD): The loss of Gasol and Siakam and potentially no VanVleet and Powell will continue to open up opportunities for OG. And this is a matchup where the extra opportunities will mean extra points. The Raptors will have no issues putting up big numbers against the Wizards and OG is at a good salary for his scoring and double double potential.
