Duds

Nikola Jokic (at DAL – $9,700 on DK; $ on FD): Jokic just hasn’t played very well in recent games and going up against the Mavericks doesn’t seem like the best recipe. The Mavericks are good against the position but really this is about how poorly Jokic has played as of late. I need to see more before trusting him.

Tobias Harris (vs DET – $8,500 on DK; $ on FD): Harris has been a tad inconsistent but the opportunities will be there for him if Embiid doesn’t end up playing. If Embiid is back, I’d stay away from Harris at this price and I’d definitely stay away from Al Horford at his price. If Embiid is out, Harris isn’t a bad option, I just find more value elsewhere.

Zion Williamson (at SAC – $7,800 on DK; $ on FD): The ceiling is high for Zion but he has leveled out and his teammates in New Orleans are offering more value at the moment. There’s nothing wrong with him, I’d just like to see a little bit more in terms of overall numbers. I’d trust Ingram or Lonzo over him right now.

Rudy Gobert (at OKC – $7,500 on DK; $ on FD): Gobert has been abysmal as of late and it’s a tough matchup against the Thunder. He typically plays very well against them but I trust scorers against OKC more than I trust guys who need other people to get him involved in order to produce. His price has dropped enough to where he might not hurt you, but I wouldn’t trust him for a big game.

Terry Rozier (at MIA – $6,900 on DK; $ on FD): This really comes down to Rozier and Graham. It’s a tough matchup and I don’t think both will be in for a big game. They’re at a similar price and I like Graham to have a stronger outing than Rozier. The ceiling is high for Rozier, but so is the floor.
