NBA DFS: Studs, scrubs, and duds on DraftKings and FanDuel Jan. 30
Scrubs
Daniel Theis (vs GS – $6,100 on DK; $5,200 on FD): Theis has been playing consistent and now he gets a great matchup against the Warriors. He’s at a very good salary compared to some high salary guys who are less consistent and have worse matchups. He definitely won’t hurt you.
Michael Porter Jr. (vs UTA – $5,700 on DK; $4,900 on FD): Porter can be inconsistent but the ceiling is there and I love the matchup with the Jazz being on a back to back. Porter is the type of player who can swing these even matchups and that’s what I expecting him to do here.
Thomas Bryant (vs CHA – $5,200 on DK; $4,400 on FD): Bryant looked more like himself in the last game and that’s hopefully a good sign for his value moving forward. He remains at a reasonable salary which also helps. And the matchup is great as the Hornets are weak against the position. Trust that he’s back on point.
Landry Shamet (vs SAC – $5,000 on DK; $4,400 on FD): As long as Beverley remains out of the lineup, Shamet remains a good take. He’s at a great salary based on what he’s given you in Beverley’s absence. The matchup is great given that the Kings are on a back to back and aren’t all that good.
Malik Monk (at WAS – $4,700 on DK; $4,400 on FD): Monk isn’t the most trustworthy but the matchup is great and I have to believe that he won’t hurt you in this matchup. It’s the Wizards. Monk will get his shots and he’s shown a high ceiling. He’s a risk but again, he shouldn’t hurt you and a risk that could pay huge.
