Scrubs

Jalen Brunson (at IND – $6,000 on DK; $6,000 on FD): With Luka out, Brunson moves into the starting lineup and it starting to takeover. The opportunities are there for the Mavericks guards without Luka. If you don’t like Brunson, you can go with Wright and Hardaway. The matchup could be better but the circumstances are too good to pass up on.

Thomas Bryant (vs GS – $5,800 on DK; $5,800 on FD): Bryant continues to look like himself and put up numbers and I see no reason why that changes against the Warriors. The Warriors are weak against the position and Bryant is a guy who has played consistent since his minutes have returned to normal. He won’t hurt you and his ceiling is high.

Marquese Chriss (at WAS – $5,500 on DK; $5,500 on FD): Chriss has been consistent since moving to the starting lineup. He’s typically inconsistent overall but something seems to be clicking ofor him right now, so you may as well ride it while it’s hot. Especially with a matchup against the Wizards. Washington’s offense isn’t an issue, but there defense still leaves something to be desired.

Markelle Fultz (at CHA – $5,400 on DK; $5,400 on FD): Fultz has dropped off a bit since a hot stretch, but this matchup is too good to pass up on. The minutes and opportunities are still there, it’s just a matter of his shot falling once again and the Magic finding some kind of spark on offense. This is a matchup for him to re-establish himself.

Patrick Beverley (vs SA – $5,200 on DK; $5,200 on FD): Beverley is at a good price and his minutes are going up as he returns from injury. He’s a guy who can do a bit of everything and he’s obviously a pest on the court. He’s not going to hurt you at this salary but expect more given the matchup.
