Scrubs

Jarrett Allen (at MIN – $6,200 on DK; $6,000 on FD): It’s a great matchup for Allen, especially if Towns remains out of the lineup. Allen is an inconsistent option but he’s shown the ability to have a big game. There’s a lack of top depth options on a slow night but Allen has a matchup worth taking advantage of and has proven that he can be a double double guy and then some.

Derrick Rose (at UTA – $6,300 on DK; $5,900 on FD): Rose continues to put up big numbers and with Kennard remaining out of the lineup, Rose will continue to run the show in Detroit. The Jazz are a tough matchup overall but they are not great against the position. The Pistons are all over the place as a team but Rose has been a big brightspot for them on multiple levels.

Goran Dragic (at WAS – $5,200 on DK; $5,300 on FD): Stack Miami players on this night. They are an excellent team going up against a defense that will give them little to no resistance. Nunn and Herro might provide a slightly higher ceiling and are at a better price. But Dragic has proven to be a consistent option and he has a relatively high ceiling as well.

Evan Fournier (vs ATL – $6,000 on DK; $5,500 on FD): This is a fantastic matchup for the Magic and one they should easily take advantage of. Fournier can be inconsistent but he has a high ceiling and can do a bit of everything. If nothing else, he’s going to at least get you value. But expect plenty more given the matchup.

Isaiah Thomas (vs MIA – $5,400 on DK; $4,700 on FD): Thomas returned to the lineup and picked up where he left off. If Beal doesn’t end up playing, Thomas becomes their best offensive player with Bertans also out of the lineup. It’s a tough matchup with Miami’s defense but they are weaker against the position than you might imagine.
