NBA DFS: Studs, scrubs, and duds on DraftKings and FanDuel Jan. 24

Scrubs

Dennis Schroder (vs ATL – $6,500 on DK; $5,700 on FD): Schroder continues to role and he has a great matchup against a weak Hawks team. They bleed points without Trae on the court so if Trae doesn’t play, that’s even better for OKC overall. There’s some good value with OKC depending on how injuries shake out given the defense in front of them. And it’s still a semi-revenge game for Schroder due to his previous Atlanta stint.

Tyler Herro (vs LAC – $4,600 on DK; $4,400 on FD): Injuries could lead to more opportunities for Herro, who has proven a high ceiling given his overall shooting. It’s a tough matchup, especially with Kawhi back in the lineup, but Herro is at a price that won’t hurt you and if Nunn and others end up missing this game, he’ll be afford more opportunities.

Norman Powell (at NY – $5,800 on DK; $4,900 on FD): Powell has been fantastic for the Raptors since returning from injury and there’s no reason to think he’ll be slowing down now against the Knicks. It doesn’t look like his shooting is going to fall off, though it is concerning that he does rely heavily on his scoring. But scoring should not be a problem in this game.

Eric Paschall (vs IND – $5,300 on DK; $4,000 on FD): Paschall continues to deliver strong numbers for the Warriors and though this is a difficult matchup because the Pacers can really lock in, someone has to get numbers for the Warriors. And Paschall is at a good salary given his overall ceiling and what he brings to the table.

Jeff Teague (at OKC – $4,800 on DK; $4,400 on FD): If Trae Young is out, that opens up more opportunities for Teague. He does have a high ceiling and typically plays well against the Thunder, at least during his days on the Timberwolves. If Young ends up playing, then that’s enough reason to avoid Teague on Friday. But if Young is out, you can go with Teague.
