11/13 DFS Diamonds: DFS Pro J.P. on NBA

I’ll be focusing on my core and GPP plays for 11/13 NBA DFS for each position along with my favorite value plays.   We’ve come to the point at where we know most of the NBA teams and which defense to target.

WithNBA DFS, you need to stay locked in the final hour before lock until tipoff. Ifyou can’t be engaged during that hour, we recommend avoiding the NBA slate.Starting lineups and other news is vital to being successful in NBA DFS.

MyCore and Value Plays by Position:

• Core Plays – PG – 11/13 DFS
  • Ben Simmons, PG, PHI (If Embiid is OUT)
  • Damian Lillard, PG, POR
    • On this slate, the main play today is LeBron James with Anthony Davis most likely out. With that being said,  Joel Embiid is most likely out as well, which creates a lovely game stack for the PHI vs. ORL game most likely. I prefer the Simmons savings if Embiid is out over Lillard, but I like the Lillard play with a banged up TOR team.
  • Value Play – Patrick Beverley, PG, LAC
  • Value Play (sort of) – Dejounte Murray, PG, SA
    • The Clippers are an interesting play tonight with Paul George making his season debut for the Clippers. Beverley is priced down and we need some sort of salary savings tonight. There is a chance if you fade Lillard that you can roster Murray as he is still way too cheap.
• Core Plays – SG- 11/13 DFS
  • D’Angelo Russell, SG, GS
    • I’m always at a crossroads when I choose to fade Harden on any slate, but he is so expensive. He does hit value time and time again, but the Warriors vs. Lakers tonight will be a high scoring game and someone needs to score on the Warriors. Ever since Curry went down, Russell’s usage has spiked and he’s the key scorer on this team.
  • Value Play – Ben McLemore, SG, HOU
    • Give me a few to throw up before I go into this play. House and Gordon are OUT tonight so the Rockets are going to McLemore to save the day with Westbrook and Harden. He’s basically a free square and I don’t love the free squares lately, but we need value on this slate.
• Core Plays – SF- 11/13 DFS
  • LeBron James, SF, LAL
  • Pascal Siakam, SF, TOR
    • With AD most likely out today, lock in LeBron. I know we have some core plays at an expensive price, but LeBron is the lock of the night.  If James is too much, I love the pivot to Siakam. OG is now out plus Lowry, Ibaka, etc. and they are banged up. Portland is on a second night of a back to back and Siakam is going to hit 40 minutes again
  • Value Play – Kent Bazemore, SF, POR
    • Value is tough to find from the SF position, but if Rodney Hood is OUT again tonight then let’s lock in Bazemore because he will start. He’s too cheap, especially on FD.
• Core Plays – PF- 11/13 DFS
  • Al Horford, PF, PHI (If Embiid is OUT)
  • Kyle Kuzma, PF, LAL
    • If Embiid is OUT, lock in Horford to get some minutes, especially since he was rested yesterday. As for Kuzma, he should be starting for AD tonight and he is starting to heat up. Lock in Kuzma no matter what!
  • Value Play – Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, PF, TOR
    • The Raptors are banged up and with OG out tonight, RHJ is going to get some run. He is one of the best salary savers tonight!
• Core Plays – C- 11/13 DFS
  • Karl-Anthony Towns, C, MIN
  • Nikola Vucevic, C, ORL
    • Towns has the best match of night and Vuc plays an Embiid-less 76ers tonight. If you can afford Towns or Vuc, make it happen!
  • Value Play – Ivica Zubac, C, LAC
  • Value Play 2 – Robert Williams, C, BOS
    • Again, we need value. I don’t hate Zubac tonight as a value play since he will get 15-20 minutes and he hasn’t been terrible this year. Not my favorite play, but he could be go between 20-30 points tonight. Williams will get an extended run with Theis out. Kanter’s back, but it seems he’s going be limited for a little.
