NBA DFS: Studs, scrubs, and duds for March 7
Duds
Kevin Love (vs DEN – $7,800 on DK; $ on FD): I’ll be honest, there’s a lot to like overall on Saturday. Due to injuries, no one costs too much and there are plenty of great matchups between bad defensive teams or very good teams against not so good teams. Love does have a tough matchup and he has to fight for some numbers with the other forwards and Sexton.
Andrew Wiggins (vs PHI – $7,700 on DK; $ on FD): Curry’s return helps Wiggins and he’s not at a bad price. And I don’t trust the Sixers on the road. But Wiggins’ inconsistent is also a thing and there’s also a chance Curry just goes off and Wiggins gets thrown out of rhythm because he’s used to being more involved. He probably won’t hurt you, but I have ceiling concerns.
Ja Morant (vs ATL – $6,800 on DK; $ on FD): Morant has been too inconsistent as of late and while it’s a good matchup, there’s too much other guaranteed value on this night for me to trust him. The ceiling is high and there’s always a chance he has a monster game because the circumstances are good. But he’s certainly a risk.
Carmelo Anthony (vs SAC – $5,900 on DK; $ on FD): With the Blazers getting healthy, Carmelo is the mostly likely guy to suffer a bit. He can still contribute with rebounds and he’ll certainly get his shots but there are plenty of better options below him on this night.
