Scrubs

Montrezl Harrell (at SA – $6,400 on DK; $ on FD): Harrell should have his way against the lack of Spurs defense with their frontcourt. The Clippers will have plenty of energy after the Houston game and Lou Williams will probably be on a mission as well. A strong performance by Williams helps Harrell as their pick-and-roll game can be unstoppable at times. He’s at a great price on FD as he’s below the salary line.

Derrick Rose (vs CHI – $6,300 on DK; $ on FD): Rose has been playing great and with Kennard out of the lineup, is getting more opportunities at the top point guard option. This should be another big game for Rose see as the Bulls offer very little in terms of defense. He’s just over the salary line on DraftKings, but he’s below the line on FD and is a great option on that platform.

Dejounte Murray (vs LAC – $6,000 on DK; $ on FD): Murray is just a better option than DeRozan and maybe even Aldridge at the moment. He’s looking healthier with each game. The matchup isn’t great because the Spurs aren’t a good team and the Clippers will be especially feisty after the loss to Houston. But Murray is going to get the opportunities and is at a great salary compared to some of his teammates.

Brandon Clarke (vs SAC – $5,800 on DK; $ on FD): Clarke has proven himself to be a solid option coming off the bench. He has good scoring potential and chips in with some rebounds as well. The Kings are a tough matchup but with the Grizzlies being on a back to back, the energy off the bench will be huge. Dillon Brooks is another option for the Grizzlies with his potential.

Tomas Satoransky (at DET – $5,200 on DK; $ on FD): Satoransky has been fantastic in recent outings, is at a great salary, and has a great matchup against the Pistons. This almost feels like a trap given his recent play and salary. The Bulls aren’t exactly a good team but Satoransky provides strong numbers for them.
