Hi there! I’m Glen but I go by Blande and you can find me on twitter as @DfsBlande. I’m a contributor and coach over here at the DFS Army.
Welcome to another edition of 6th Men on this five-game slate. There is so much value in starting lineups tonight that it’s hard to find solid plays off the bench. As a result, most of the plays we will look at tonight are more suited as drop-score candidates. Let’s take a look at what we are dealing with.
6th MEN
PG – Alex Caruso ($4,200): After a few superb games, Caruso has put up a string of underwhelming performances. He gets a chance tonight to get things back on the right track. With LBJ out and Josh Hart likely out as well, Caruso will play over 30 minutes here. He is cheap enough and has the upside to pay off his price in Hybrid/GPP lineups. He is drop-score viable too.
SG – Antonio Blakeney ($3,500): The Bulls have a lot of value to pick from today. Antonio Blakeney will play around 30 minutes tonight off the bench. He is min-priced and if his production yesterday was any indication, he can make the most of his minutes. He makes for a nice lower-owned drop-score play.
SF – Jabari Parker ($6,500): I’ll keep touting Jabari Parker. The spot is an excellent one for him and with Trevor Ariza out, he will play upwards of 30 minutes. Parker has 45+ upside here tonight and makes for an excellent play in all formats.
PF – Richaun Holmes ($4,000): With all the injuries the Suns are dealing with, Holmes has a chance to play 25 minutes tonight. He will be fired up too, after being ejected after just 9 minutes last game. The spot is excellent for him, and as a high ppm guy, he has 40+ upside here. He is an excellent drop-score candidate today.
C – Cristiano Felicio ($3,600): Felicio has played 20, 25, and 21 minutes over his last three games. With all the injuries the Bulls are dealing with, it’s possible he ends up playing 25-30 minutes tonight, especially if the game gets out of hand. At just 3.6k, he makes for a nice drop-score candidate with upside in this matchup.
Honorable Mentions:
Brandon Sampson ($3,500), Jae Crowder ($5,200), Jeff Green ($4,400), Zach Collins ($4,900)
These are your 6th Men of the day. Good luck out there Army!
