Duds

Hassan Whiteside (at IND – $8,800 on DK; $9,500 on FD): Whiteside won’t hurt you but McCollum offers a higher ceiling of the two. He’s good for a double double but the numbers aren’t high enough in either category. The blocks do help. He’s good guaranteed value if you’re playing a more risky lineup.

De’Aaron Fox (at OKC – $7,600 on DK; $7,500 on FD): Fox has been inconsistent and I’m not liking him against this Thunder defense. He’s gonna have to go up against Paul or Dort for the majority of the night and that’s tough sledding. Especially with the Kings overall level of play. There’s plenty of nice value below him that is more guaranteed.

Malcolm Brogdon (vs POR – $7,300 on DK; $5,900 on FD): Brogdon has been inconsistent and this hasn’t been a matchup he’s thrived against, which is concerning. The Pacers are in a weird spot right. Is and while the matchup is good I’m just worried about his overall consistency too much to trust him.

Next. DraftKings NBA picks February 27. dark

Andrew Wiggins (vs LAL – $7,200 on DK; $7,400 on FD): Wiggins might not hurt you at this price but there’s not much extra value there. And there is a chance he does hurt you because he’s Andrew Wiggins and running hot and cold runs in his basketball DNA.
