Duds

Spencer Dinwiddie (vs ATL – $7,500 on DK; $7,400 on FD): The return of Kyrie means not so great things for Dinwiddie. He’ll see less opportunities as the primary scorer and creator, thus lowering his value. His price will drop in the coming days and weeks as Kyrie re-establishes himself as the top guy. But for right now it remains too high.

LaMarcus Aldridge (at TOR – $7,300 on DK; $7,400 on FD): With DeRozan taking over more as a scorer, Aldridge has taken a bit of a backseat. He’s simply not giving you enough right now and even though the Raptors are banged up, they still play hard and Ibaka can make like difficult on him in the post and other offensive situations. There is more guaranteed value below him on this night.

Jamal Murray (vs LAC – $6,400 on DK; $6,700 on FD): Murray is an inconsistent option and now he’s running into a tough matchup against the Clippers. This game has all the makings of a defensive struggle and Murray is likely to suffer because of it due to the matchups he’s going to see. There is better value below him in this one.

Lou Williams (at DEN – $6,500 on DK; $6,400 on FD): Much like Murray, Lou has a high ceiling. But given the nature of this matchup, he will have plenty of attention on him with George likely out of the lineup as well. There are simply better matchups on Sunday where more value is guaranteed. This game is too defensive minded for me.

DraftKings NBA picks January 12. dark. Next

Draymond Green (at MEM – $5,100 on DK; $5,800 on FD): Draymond’s salary has lowered as he’s been disappointing this year without the Splash Brothers by his side. But even still, I’m not a fan of him in this game. I like the guys on the Warriors who are going to score and Draymond isn’t really going to score. Find value elsewhere on the Warriors.
