Scrubs

Shake Milton (vs DET – $6,200 on DK; $ on FD): Milton has been fairly consistent despite the rising salary. The concern is that if Embiid does play in this game, Milton will see less opportunities. Though it will open up the floor for him a bit. It’s a great matchup against a weak Detroit team, which certainly helps.

Duncan Robinson (vs CHA – $6,000 on DK; $ on FD): Robinson has been shooting the lights out as of late. Will it end? Maybe. But it’s a great matchup against the Hornets, who aren’t good as a team and who aren’t good against the position. If Butler doesn’t end up playing then he’ll continue to get more opportunities from the field.

Buddy Hield (vs NO – $5,400 on DK; $ on FD): Hield has settled at a nice salary and is a fairly consistent option option now that he’s coming off the bench. He also typically plays very well against his former team. It’s a big game for both teams and I think the offense will be up given the way both teams typically like to play.

Bruce Brown (at PHI – $5,200 on DK; $ on FD): Brown has been a solid option for the price and the Pistons need something from the position with all the injuries. If the Sixers don’t have Embiid then there should be plenty of offense in this game. Brown can do a bit of everything and won’t hurt you at this price.

Cam Reddish (vs NY – $4,900 on DK; $ on FD): Reddish is as up and down as they come, but it’s a great matchup and with the injuries to the Hawks, Reddish should keep getting more of an opportunity. Production hasn’t been an issue. Minutes have been an issue. If he can earn playing time and stay on the floor, then he’s an easy take. But there is a risk factor.
