Scrubs

Kendrick Nunn (vs MIN – $6,100 on DK; $4,900 on FD): I’m a little torn between Nunn and Dragic but ultimately settled on Nunn. It’s a good matchup for Miami and if Butler and possibly Adebayo are out then that will open up plenty of opportunities. Dragic might be slightly safer but I like Nunn’s ceiling.

RJ Barrett (at CHA – $6,000 on DK; $4,800 on FD): Barrett has been inconsistent for most of the season but he’s shown flashes of brilliance and I look for him to continue some strong play post break. The Knicks are in development mode and Barrett is their top priority. It’s a good matchup and he should be in for a strong scoring night.

Terrence Ross (at ATL – $5,400 on DK; $5,100 on FD): Ross has been playing well as of late and he has a great matchup against the Hawks, who are extremely weak against the position. He’s streaky but when he’s hit he’s hit and he’s certainly hot right now. Keep rolling with him, especially with this matchup.

Josh Richardson (at CLE – $5,200 on DK; $5,100 on FD): Once again, with Simmons out, other Sixers will have to step up. And Richardson played well in the last game. This is another easy matchup for the Sixers and Richardson is one of their better scorers and creators. He remains at a good price given the circumstances and opportunities.

Moritz Wagner (vs BKN – $4,500 on DK; $3,900 on FD): If Bertans doesn’t play it’ll open up more opportunities for everyone on the Wizards, especially Wagner given he provides similar role. Hachimira is also in play here but he costs more. This should be a high scoring affair with good value on the Wizards.
