11/4 DFS Diamonds: DFS Pro J.P. on NBA

I’ll be focusing on my 11/4 DFS core and GPP plays for NBA DFS for each position along with my favorite value plays.   We’ve come to the point at 11/4 DFS where we know most of the NBA teams and which defense to target. It is vital to NOT play NBA DFS if you cannot keep track until the final tip. The last hour before lock is the most important

Wementioned this in our Premium Slack Channel yesterday, but with NBA DFS, youneed to stay locked in between the final hour before lock until tipoff. If youcan’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 – 11/4 DFS
  • Ben Simmons, PG, PHI
    • No Joel Embiid means smash spot for Ben Simmons against the high paced Suns. My fear is Ricky Rubio will be on Simmons and he isn’t a bad defender, but Simmons does have like a foot on him. No Embiid means more usage to go around and I believe Simmons can benefit the most like he usually does
  • Value Play – Jeff Teague, PG, MIN and Kyle Bowman, PG, GS
    • I don’t like the matchup, but Towns is out again. Someone needs to score on this team and I think it will be him or Wiggins. I love the price tag of Teague, but if D’Angelo Russell is out again, Kyle Bowman might be an even better salary saver.
• Core Plays – SG- 11/4 DFS
  • Lock Play – James Harden, SG, HOU
  • Andrew Wiggins, SG, MIN and Bradley Beal, SG, WAS
    • As I mentioned, Towns is out and someone needs to score on MIN. The main guys are Teague or Wiggins even with a tough matchup against the Bucks.  As for Beal , he faces a high paced Pistons team who is pretty beaten up. The game total isn’t as high as some of the others, but I think Beal is in a smash spot.
    • As for Harden, Westbrook is out tonight. Lock in Harden!
  • Value Play – Bruce Brown, SG, DET
    • There will be no Derrick Rose, Tim Frazier, Reggie Jackson tonight and what does this mean? It means low salary Bruce Brown will be starting at PG and he is $3,900 on FD. Lock him in!
• Core Plays – SF- 11/4 DFS
  • Tobias Harris, SF, DET
    • Once again, there is no Joel Embiid and someone needs to take over the usage left by Embiid.  Harris thrives when Embiid is out and he will continue in this matchup against the Suns.
  • Value Play – Mario Hezonja, SF, POR, Luke Kennard, SF, DET, and Eric Gordon, SF, HOU
    • If Hezonja starts, I think he will be in a smash spot at a very low salary, but we may not find out until after lock. If we cant get the news that he’s starting in time, I’m okay with a pivot to Kennard as DET is banged up and he crushed it this last time around when all the guards were out last game.
    • Gordon is starting with Westbrook out so at such a low salary, he should be a good spot.
• Core Plays – PF- 11/4 DFS
  • Al Horford, PF, PHI
    • Once again, Embiid is out. Lock in Horford, Simmons, and Harris. I think the best route is to use two of the three, but it may work out to use all three. It worked on Saturday night and it could work again tonight.
  • Value Play – Brandon Clarke, PF, MEM and Robert Covington, PF. MIN
    • Clarke should be starting for Jaren Jackson tonight as he’s listed as doubtful. He should be a solid salary saver tonight with Jackson out. As for Covington, it is the same deal with Wiggins and Teague because Towns is out. My fear is Giannis might be on Covington so it’s a bad matchup
• Core Plays – C- 11/4 DFS
  • Andre Drummond, C, DET
    • I’m all in on Drummond. He has a banged up squad behind him and he is in a matchup against the defensively challenged Wizards. The Wizards are not a good team so Drummond could post the same line as this past Saturday.
  • Lock Value Play – Gorgui Dieng, C, MIN
    • Dieng is probably starting with Towns out and he’s almost the bare minimum tonight. If you need the salary and can’t pay up for Drummond, don’t even think twice and go Dieng. Plain and simple.
