NBA DFS: Studs, scrubs, and duds on DraftKings and FanDuel Jan. 15

Scrubs

TJ Warren (at MIN – $5,800 on DK; $5,500 on FD): The Minnesota defense is dreadful. If Towns is back, that will help but there’s no telling how he’ll play in his first game back and defense has never been his strong suit. Warren is a scorer by nature and always gets the opportunities in the Pacers offense.

Enes Kanter (vs DET – $5,700 on DK; $5,500 on FD): Whether he’s starting or coming off the bench, Kanter will be productive as long as he starts. And defense is less of an issue against a weak squad like the Pistons. The Pistons are also very weak against the position, which certainly helps. He’s always a double double threat, he won’t hurt you, and the ceiling is high.

Davis Bertans (at CHI – $5,500 on DK; $5,000 on FD): Bertans has been consistent since returning and we know he’s ready to explode for a big game at any moment. The Bulls are weak against the position and the more Bertans gets back to form, the better he’ll be. He’s another guy that won’t hurt you and has big potential.

Dwight Howard (vs ORL – $5,500 on DK; $5,700 on FD): Howard is inconsistent but he’s coming off two great games, which should certainly be a big boost for his confidence and trust. And if Davis doesn’t play, that will boost him a bit more. Throw in the fact that he’s playing Orlando, the former team he seems to have the most ill will against, and things are looking good for Howard.

Jerami Grant (vs CHA – $5,000 on DK; $4,000 on FD): Grant has been a bit up and down during his starts with the Nuggets but he’s going to get the minutes and opportunities and he’s at a great salary. This is also a matchup worth taking advantage of as the Hornets are not a good defensive team and Grant can do a bit of everything.
