Dennis Schroder (DK $5600, FD $6700)
Dennis Schroder is a player to consider for tonight’s game against the San Antonio Spurs. Although Schroder can be inconsistent, he has a high upside and is undervalued at his current salary of $6,000. He holds the role of starting point guard for one of the quickest-paced teams in the NBA and has demonstrated the ability to be a high-performing player, previously reaching the level of an $8,000 player. Schroder has been a consistently valuable player in his last two games, scoring 46 and 49 DraftKings points, and has been given a substantial amount of playing time in recent games, playing 31 minutes in 12 out of his last 13 games.
The matchup against the Spurs is a great opportunity for Schroder, as they are the worst team in the league in points allowed and defensive efficiency and surrender the third-most fantasy points to opposing guards. Schroder may not be a sure thing, but with his potential and a favorable matchup against the worst defense in the league, he’s worth the risk. Even if he doesn’t reach his ceiling, he’s likely to provide solid returns, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see another one of his high-scoring games.
