Scrubs

Buddy Hield (at OKC – $6,100 on DK; $5,900 on FD): Hield had a rough outing last time against the Thunder and has been inconsistent coming off the bench but he’s typically a Thunder killer. And I do like him coming off the bench against OKC as well. Trust the matchup in this one and take him with confidence.

Damion Lee (vs LAL – $5,400 on DK; $5,800 on FD): If Draymond doesn’t play then it’ll boost the value of Paschall and Lee. Lee has been more consistent as of late, which is why I like him. It’s a tough matchup but someone has to get numbers and guys have shown to rise up against good teams. At least for a couple of quarters.

Myles Turner (vs POR – $5,200 on DK; $6,000 on FD): Turner is inconsistent but it’s an excellent matchup and he’s feasted on the Blazers in the past. They have no frontcourt options that can deal with Turner and Sabonis. Sorry, Whiteside. He won’t hurt you at this price and the ceiling is high.

Alex Caruso (at GS – $3,400 on DK; $3,700 on FD): With LeBron out, opportunities will open up for others on the Lakers. And they’re all at a good price given that they’re not star players. Caruso is inconsistent but he’ll get the minutes and he’s shown he can score and run the offense. He’s a low risk high reward player.
