Scrubs

Elfrid Payton (vs DET – $6,200 on DK; $6,200 on FD): Payton can be a triple double threat and this is certainly a good matchup for the Knicks. There should be plenty of offense in this game and Payton has rarely lacked for numbers. He’s an easy take at this price.

Robert Covington (vs ORL – $6,300 on DK; $6,200 on FD): Covington continues to do exactly what is asked of him and then some for the Rockets. Westbrook being back means there is less attention on him and he will also get his 3s and other scoring opportunities. Plus, being the big, he’ll get blocks and rebounds as well. He’s reliable with a high ceiling.

Norman Powell (at SAC – $6,600 on DK; $5,900 on FD): Powell continues to hum along and he remains at a great price given his overall production. The Kings are on an easy match up and its a back to back, which helps the Raptors. The Toronto offense ehsould have no issue and he’s been shooting the lights outs out.

Terrence Ross (at HOU – $5,800 on DK; $5,200 on FD): Speaking of guys who have been shooting the lights out and will get you buckets. Ross will get his fair share of threes in this game as the Magic will need them to keep some pace with the Rockets. He’s their best shooter and scoring won’t be an issue. He remains at a very good price given his scoring ceiling.

Trey Lyles (at CLE – $5,100 on DK; $5,200 on FD): No Aldridge means more opportunities for Lyles. He’ll have his hands full with all the bigs the Cavaliers can throw on the floor but it is a back to back for the Cavaliers. The circumstances are why Lyles is an easy take on Sunday.
