Jrue Holiday (at LAL, $7,200)
A lot of times we are asked if it is a good idea to actually roster bench players in a DFS lineup. The answer is simple, at least for me. I don’t care if a guy is coming off the bench or starting, all I care about is his playing time. Holiday has been coming off the bench for most of the season and especially over the last four games with Bryce Dejean-Jones in the starter’s role. Holiday is getting just about 30 minutes of court time during that span and has produced efficiently. He will most likely be matched up against D’Angelo Russell. Things could get ugly in the Staples Center.
Anthony Davis (at LAL, $10,000)
If you trust that the Brow can make it a full game without getting hurt, then you can trust that he has maximum upside in Thursday’s game in Los Angeles. If you are smart with your fake money and choose to roster some of the better value plays, sit back, relax, and watch the Brow eat some glass.
