11/18 DFS Diamonds: DFS Pro J.P. on NBA

I’ll be focusing on my core and GPP plays for 11/18 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 – 11/18 DFS
  • Aaron Holiday, PG, IND (FD)
  • Luka Doncic, PG, DAL
  • Dejounte Murray, PG, SA (DK)
    • I’m keeping this list small tonight for PG. On FD, Aaron Holiday is still priced too low and he’s going to get the bulk of the work with Brogdon, Lamb, and McConnell OUT. As for Murray, he’s also too cheap on DK. He’s been struggling but can go off at any minute. He started off strong and has cooled down, but he’ll be a core play on DK. For Doncic, this kid is beyond talented and playing a bad defense in a higher paced game so he’s in a smash spot.
• Core Plays – SG- 11/18 DFS
  • James Harden, SG, HOU
    • Until further notice, we’re locking in Harden. I said this on Saturday and I feel like we should keep it going. He’s projecting lower ownership compared to Doncic and Giannis, but he’s on fire. I’m like this more for GPPs, but he still a core play with how good he’s been
  • Other Core Play – Fred VanVleet, SG, TOR
  • Value Play – Spencer Dinwiddie, SG, BKN
    • Kyrie is OUT. Lock in Dinwiddie tonight as the top value of the night.
• Core Plays – SF- 11/18 DFS
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, MIL
  • Pascal Siakam, SF, TOR
    • With all the injuries to the Raptors, Siakam’s usage is up and he’s in a killer matchup. He will be in most of the lineups. If I don’t go, Harden, I’ll pivot to Giannis.
  • Value Play – Justin Holiday, SF, IND
    • The Pacers are still banged up and Justin Holiday will get minutes.  He hasn’t really taken advantage of the minutes yet, but I’m on him tonight with the matchup and minutes.
• Core Plays – PF- 11/18 DFS
  • Kristaps Porzingis, PF, DAL
    • I do like Covington with Wiggins already ruled out, but Porzingis is slowly starting to heat up. He isn’t my sexiest play tonight and it’ll be tough to fit him in, but I’d like some shares in GPPs with him. Spurs do struggle defensively and allow a ton of points so I do like the Porzingis play.
  • Value Play – Dario Saric, PF, PHX
  • Value Play – Frank Kaminsky, PF, PHX
  • Value Play – Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, PF, TOR
  • Value Play – Royce O’Neal, PF, UTA
• Core Plays – C- 11/18 DFS
  • Myles Turner, C, BKN
  • Tristan Thompson, C, CLE
    • Turner is back and even though we thought he’d be limited in his first game back, he crushed. He has a killer matchup versus Brooklyn, who is also banged up. Let’s just hope he doesn’t hurt his ankle this time around. As for Thompson, he might get some heavy minutes with Love out so let’s lock him in.
  • Lock Value Play – Mitchell Robinson, C, NY
    • A depleted Cleveland team versus a big stud in Robinson is a great value to use him on your teams. I have a small player pool for Center and Robinson might be my top play.
