11/16 DFS Diamonds: DFS Pro J.P. on NBA

I’ll be focusing on my core and GPP plays for 11/16 NBA DFS for each position along with my favorite value plays.   

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 – 11/16 DFS – TWO of the FOUR
  • Aaron Holiday, PG, IND
  • TJ McConnell, PG, IND
  • Patty Mills, PG, SA
  • Derrick White, PG, SA
    • It’s a stars and scrubs kind of night and we have some great value at PG today. I will use a mixture of these four guys in my lineups. Keep an eye out for Malcolm Brogdon’s status because if he plays, we can remove McConnell from this list.
• Core Plays – SG- 11/16 DFS
  • James Harden, SG, HOU
    • Until further notice, we’re lock Harden, especially with Westbrook out. Don’t even start your lineups until you put Harden first
  • Other Core Play – DeMar DeRozan, SG, SA
  • Value Play – Ben McLemore, SG, HOU
    • Someone else needs to score besides Harden, right? Well if we want to save salary, we can go this route. He put up 20+ points last night and could do it again
• Core Plays – SF- 11/16 DFS
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, MIL
  • Pascal Siakam, SF, TOR
    • Siakam is finally priced accordingly at $10,000+ on FD, but I still think he’s in a smash match against DAL. If you don’t go DeRozan and Harden at SG, you could try to fit Giannis or Siakam. For Giannis, it’s Giannis and he’s a beast. We have to keep playing the hot hands.
  • Value Play – Jarrett Culver and Josh Okogie, SF MIN
    • I think we’re going back to the well with these two. They were pretty chalky last night and they are going to be chalk again, but we need salary savers. I don’t hate using BOTH in the SF position on FD, but it isn’t ideal
• Core Plays – PF- 11/16 DFS
  • Robert Covington, PF, MIN
    • He was pretty chalky with Wiggins out yesterday and he should be a good source of salary relief tonight. Houston is a high paced offense who struggles defensively and have no Clint Capela. It’s going to be a high scoring game from both sides.
  • Value Play – PJ Tucker, PF, HOU
    • It’s like the McLemore situation and who else should score. I think that person could be Tucker as the Rockets are playing with a pretty depleted team on the second night of a back to back.
• Core Plays – C- 11/16 DFS
  • Karl-Anthony Towns, C, MIN
    • Towns has the best match of night with Tyson Chandler covering him. As I mentioned, I like Minnesota tonight against a depleted Rockets team, who also doesn’t have Capela to guard Towns. He might be a borderline lock if you aren’t going Giannis or Siakam with Harden.
  • Lock Value Play – Tyson Chandler, C, HOU
    • Once again, it’s a depleted Rockets team and Chandler will get the minutes. If you don’t go Towns, I like the pivot to Chandler because there are any other centers I like on this slate.
