Scrubs

Kendrick Nunn (at OKC – $6,200 on DK; $4,800 on FD): Nunn is coming off a monster scoring game and while the Thunder defense isn’t bad, their lack of paint protectors is going to hurt them in a big way. That’s where Nunn can take advantage and that’s why I like him in this matchup. If Adams and Noel end up playing, he’s a little less appealing.

Collin Sexton (at MEM – $6,000 on DK; $5,800 on FD): Sexton has played consistent basketball as of late and that’s a good sign for him and his value. It’s a great matchup against the Grizzlies and there should be enough offense in this game to go around. Garland is another option if you’re not as high on Sexton.

Norman Powell (vs WAS – $5,500 on DK; $4,800 on FD): Powell is back and playing great. The Raptors are getting healthy and that’s going to be a problem for other teams. Especially a team like the Wizards. Powell can be inconsistent which is worrying but he’s going to get the opportunities and it’s the right matchup for him.

Dwight Powell (vs POR – $5,100 on DK; $5,500 on FD): Powell has been playing very well with Porzingis out of the lineup. Maybe a little inconsistent but this is a matchup for him to take advantage of with this salary. The Blazers remain an inconsistent team and I wouldn’t trust them just off the Rockets victory.

Brandon Clarke (vs CLE – $4,900 on DK; $4,800 on FD): Clarke is one of the Grizzlies players you should target with his low salary. He has a good ceiling and gets the minutes and the opportunities. There’s plenty of good value in this matchup as the offense should be up for both teams. You can also look at Mike Muscala if Noel and Adams don’t play.
