NBA DFS: Studs, scrubs, and duds for March 5
Scrubs
Eric Paschall (vs TOR – $5,800 on DK; $5,100 on FD): Paschall has looked better in recent outings and though this is a tough matchup, his ability to do a bit of everything is certainly helpful. The minutes are going to be there for him and the Warriors just don’t have too many great and consistent options. For now, Paschall is one of them.
PJ Washington (vs DEN – $5,500 on DK; $5,500 on FD): Washington has been playing consistent and just finds a way to be around value either with his scoring or rebounding. He’ll even chip in defensively. It’s not a great matchup but he’s at a good price and the Hornets need something out of this position. Washington has been the guy to deliver.
Harry Giles III (vs PHI – $5,400 on DK; $5,000 on FD): The Sixers have been dreadful against the position as of late and if Embiid is out once again, Giles will have an easier time. He’s been a consistent option with his rebounding and scoring and that shouldn’t change with this matchup. He should easily hit value but expect more given the circumstances.
Furkan Korkmaz (at SAC – $4,500 on DK; $4,100 on FD): Korkmaz might not be the most consistent option but he’s going to get the minutes and with the Sixers desperate for anyone to score, Korkmaz can give them buckets. There’s some good value in this game with the injuries as multiple guys will have the opportunity to step up in what should be a game with plenty of offense.
