Isaiah makes his Win Daily Sports debut and will be discussing DFS NBA options for Wednesday.
There are over 60 million people playing fantasy sports across the United States and Canada, and studies have proven that this is truly a game of skill. In order to be successful in NBA DFS, it is imperative that you know your rules, do your research, properly manage your finances, stay on top of all the news, and most importantly, HAVE FUN. Hopefully, this NBA DFS article will help alleviate some of the time it takes to do some of that research. I encourage everyone reading this article to join the team here at WinDaily in the Discord NBA DFS chat rooms where you will be able to actively collaborate with the pros in finding the tools you will need to succeed. It’s my goal to not just give you the tools to win today, but show you how to develop a process that will make you a better player than the people you will be up against.
Today I’m going to focus on some suggestions toward your NBA DFS player pool, and include a core of players that I think will be important to have exposure to.
NBA Main Slate for Wednesday, December 11, 2019
With 6 NBA DFS players all priced over $10K tonight (Westbrook just missed at $9800) all looking at either tough matchups, a blowout risk, or a wicked slow-paced low-scoring game, I’m most likely looking at a more balanced approach tonight. I think there’s a lot to like in that mid to upper tier, with some upside that can get you there.
Core Guys
Kawhi Leonard $8700: I think Kawhi is criminally underpriced here. We all know the strong narrative here in returning to the NBA city that he just brought a championship to last year. Toronto is also a very good defensive team, ranking 7th in defensive efficiency, and 6th vs. his position. He also shares the court with a prolific scorer in Paul George, so there’s an obvious risk here. Kawhi has a massive 35.9% usage rate and scores 1.5 FP/.min across an average of 31 mins/gm. Kawhi just played his old team on Nov. 11th where he shot a very dismal 2 for 11, but still ended up with 42 DKFPTS. I’m guessing that Kawhi is looking to put on a show for his old city, and am locking him in at that super cheap $8700 tonight.
Zach Lavine $7900: Zach is a little banged up and carries a questionable tag, but is expected to play. He is carrying a 30% usage, 1.13 FP/min, at just about 33 mins/gm. He’s playing an Atlanta squad that ranks 28th in defensive efficiency and 24th against his position. Atlanta is also coming off a tough overtime loss to the Heat last night, so I can see Zach running all over this tired Hawk team.
Jarrett Allen $6800: Allen has a dbl/dbl in 8 of his last 10 games, barely missing the 9th by 1 rebound. He’s going up against a Charlotte NBA team that ranks 24 in defensive efficiency vs. centers and is playing on the 2nd half of a B2B. Allen has already seen this team twice, averaging 18 pts, 13.5 boards, a block, and 2 steals for 41 DKFPS/gm.
Some Others
I’m keeping a watchful eye on Eric Paschall. If he misses, Draymond Green looks like a nice price tag to get in.
Russell Westbrook, Devin Booker, Ricky Rubio, Ja Morant, Kris Dunn, Jonas Valanciunas, Ben McLemore are also options for tonight.
It’s still early, so make sure you stay on top of news as it develops today, and catch up with all the pros in the Discord chat rooms.
GOOD LUCK
