Scrubs

Troy Brown Jr. (vs ATL – $6,600 on DK; $5,700 on FD): You can go with Brown or McRae in this spot. Both will continue to get the opportunities with Beal out of the lineup and as mentioned above, this is a game where there should be plenty of offense given how both teams play. Brown has been playing consistent ball in recent games and he’s at a great salary given his ceiling.

Davis Bertans (vs ATL – $5,900 on DK; $5,100 on FD): Bertans is back and he’s back with a great matchup. There is a possibility of rust but I’m not buying it in this matchup. Bertans is the most reliable option with Beal being out and he’s going to get the shots as these two teams combine for plenty of offense.

Taurean Prince (vs MIA – $5,300 on DK; $5,000 on FD): Prince is playing consistent basketball as of late and can do a bit of everything. The Heat can be a tough matchup with their overall level of defense but they’re below average against the position. Things aren’t going well for the Nets but Prince has picked up some slack that Dinwiddie hasn’t been able to carry as of late.

Alex Len (at WAS – $5,200 on DK; $4,900 on FD): Len doesn’t always get the most minutes but he’s still a double double threat and he’s up against the Wizards. This feels like an easy double double for Len and maybe he earns a bit more playing time simply due to the matchup. He’s not going to hurt you and his ceiling is high.

Goran Dragic (at BKN – $5,800 on DK; $5,100 on FD): You can go with Dragic or Fultz in this position. They’re at a similar price and the matchup is great for both of them. Both have a high ceiling but I prefer Dragic just because he’s coming off the bench and can really take advantage of the matchup. But Fultz is will most likely deliver as well.
