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 six-game slate. This slate is lacking on bench power. There are very few options off the bench with the potential to break the slate tonight. That said, there are a handful of choices to keep in mind when building your lineups. Let’s take a look at these options.
6th MEN
PG – Seth Curry ($5,100): Curry has played well off the bench since McCollum went down. He gets an excellent matchup tonight against the Hawks who bleed points everywhere. This is a good spot for him and he makes for a nice play in all formats.
SG – Monte Morris ($4,000): Morris continues to play 22-27 minutes off the bench for the Nuggets. He has high upside when his shot is falling, and he is involved in the game. The matchup against OKC is one he can exploit tonight, making him an excellent drop-score candidate in all formats.
SF – Jabari Parker ($6,700): As long as Trevor Ariza remains out, Parker will continue to play 30+ minutes and be a fantasy option off the bench. He is always in play in GPPs, and given the matchup, tonight makes for an interesting hybrid play as well. His scoring will be needed by the Wizards tonight.
SF – Lance Stephenson ($4,200): Stephenson is playing solidly since returning from the prolonged injury. Even with LeBron James returning tonight, Stephenson will see significant minutes on this team. His price on FD today makes him very appealing as a drop-score candidate.
PF – Domantas Sabonis ($6,800): Sabonis has played well recently. He gets a matchup he can exploit against the Celtics tonight. The only reason Sabonis is not an all-format play is the combination of his salary and the minutes he gets. He is best suited as a GPP option with upside.
These are your 6th Men of the day. Good luck out there Army!
