Duds

James Harden (vs ORL – $11,300 on DK; $11,000 on FD): Harden might not even play in this game, so obviously that makes it easy to stay away from him. If he does play, he also played 45 minutes last night and Westbrook is back to carry the load. So, there isn’t much reason to take Harden at this price when there are plenty of better option below him.

Bradley Beal (vs MIA – $10,300 on DK; $10,100 on FD): Beal has been just average in terms of value as of late and you certainly need a bit more from him. This will be a tough matchup to pull more from him because Miami is solid against the position, though they have slipped overall as of late. Still, there’s better value below Beal given the circumstances.

Pascal Siakam (at SAC – $8,800 on DK; $8,100 on FD): Siakam probably won’t hurt you because he’s very good and mostly consistent. But the Kings are good against the position and the Raptors continue to get it done by committee. There’s better value on his own team on Sunday.

De’Aaron Fox (vs TOR – $7,700 on DK; $7,900 on FD): Fox has been fairly consistent as of late but its a back to back and a tough matchup against the Raptors. The scoring might take a dip and if the scoring dips, he doesn’t always do enough in other categories to make up that value.

Myles Turner (at DAL – $5,500 on DK; $6,200 on FD): Turner has come back down to earth a bit and it’s a tough match against the Mavericks. His salary remains a tad too high on FD given the value that is available below him. The lack of consistency and no guarantee of a high ceiling is why you should look elsewhere.
