NBA DFS: Studs, scrubs, and duds for March 1
Scrubs
Harry Giles III (vs DET – $5,600 on DK; $5,000 on FD): Giles can be inconsistent with his big games but he’s at a great salary given the opponent. He does have a high overall ceiling and I love the matchup against the Pistons. He won’t hurt you at this salary and has a high ceiling.
Norman Powell (at DEN – $5,100 on DK; $4,800 on FD): Powell isn’t the most consistent option and I’m not in love with this game but he’s at a good salary, has been playing well lately, and can be the swing guy in this matchup. I don’t like the top salary guys in this game but there are a couple of guys who offer nice value.
Shabazz Napier (at GS – $4,700 on DK; $4,700 on FD): Napier can be hit and miss and might not be the most trustworthy option, but he does have a high ceiling and a great matchup in front of him against the Warriors. The Wizards are going to score points and Napier certainly has the ability to get hot at any moment.
Jerami Grant (vs TOR – $4,500 on DK; $4,800 on FD): Grant has been great in the last two games and he’s at a great price given his contributions. This is a game I’m cold on because of the matchup but Grant is at a price where he can over deliver in a big way and is a guy that can step up in this matchup.
