This article discusses a core for DFS players to build around for today’s FanDuel NBA slate. While there are many different sports and various contests pertaining to DFS along with their respective strategies, we focus on the main approaches to build both reliable cash and GPP lineups for a successful NBA night including pace, the projected over/under, one on one matchups, and a team’s defensive rating. Make sure to stay active when building NBA lineups – if you cannot be in front of a computer, tablet, or on your phone an hour before lock do not throw your money away! NBA DFS lineups can change at the blink of an eye and are the most variable compared to any other sport in DFS; players get injured, some sit for load management, and others find themselves on the DNP list for other reasons; any of which can sway your lineup and where to find value. Stay alert on the WinDaily Discord chat to follow along with our updated plays. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

PointGuard: Russell Westbrook, Houston Rockets ($10,100)
Those in the industry that are discussing whether Mike Conley warrants consideration in their NBA lineups are not wrong; the Utah point guard seems to be rejuvenated in his last 3 games posting 34.5 FanDuel points per game across 31.67 minutes. However, in those same 3 games, the Jazz has allowed a whopping 58.33 points per game to opposing point guards, including two 60+ performances to Damian Lillard. Russell Westbrook is fresh from sitting out Houston’s last game and will continue his dominance in 2020.
Honorable Mention: Damian Lillard,Portland Trail Blazers ($9,900)
ShootingGuard: Dillon Brooks, Memphis Grizzlies ($5,500)
The public will be all over the Memphis-Washington game today and rightfully so. Boasting a 240.5 implied game total, there are plenty of viable pieces to consider for our NBA lineups tonight. Dillon Brooks is the man I want out of the Memphis backcourt; I love attacking Bradley Beal’s defense and Brooks has posted 29.2 FanDuel points per game over his last 8 games, scoring in double digits in 7/8.
Honorable Mention: Donovan Mitchell, UtahJazz ($7,100)
Small Forward: Bojan Bogdanovic, Utah Jazz ($5,700)
With the new-look Houston Rockets deploying one of the smallest lineups in the NBA, there is a gaping hole on the wing. We saw what Kelly Oubre Jr. and Mikal Bridges did against them just two nights ago, and tonight I’m going back to the well. Bojan Bogdanovic is often overlooked in a lineup that features Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, but I’ll be all over Bogdanovic’s safe floor and potential ceiling should he get hot from behind the 3-point line.
Honorable Mention: Tobias Harris, Philadelphia76ers ($6,600)
PowerForward: Bam Adebayo, Miami Heat ($8,000)
The Miami Heat will be traveling to Portland to face a blazing hot Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers without All-NBA talent Jimmy Butler. Without Butler in the lineup, Adebayo sees a notable usage uptick and faces an opponent in Hassan Whiteside that simply cannot play defense despite leading the NBA in blocks at 3.1 per game. The last time these two teams faced off, Butler was also out of the lineup at Adebayo posted a 20/8/6/1/1 scoring line for 41.6 FanDuel points.
Honorable Mention: Brandon Clarke, MemphisGrizzlies ($4,800)
Center:Hassan Whiteside, Portland Trail Blazers ($8,300)
There are a lot of good options on this NBA DFS slate to consider at the center position in Hassan Whiteside, Rudy Gobert, and Jonas Valanciunas. With Gobert facing the Houston team that loves to push the pace and scares teams off playing their big man and forcing their opponent to run-and-gun with them, his ceiling is capped, and the play scares me. Valanciunas is in a good spot versus Washington but I prefer Clarke coming off the bench with JVal sharing usage with Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks in the starting 5. Whiteside should feast in this game, having posted a 21/18/0/0/2 scoring line for 47.6 FanDuel points last time out. Oh, and for those into revenge narratives, you already know Whiteside would love to posterize his former team.
HonorableMention: Jonas Valanciunas, Memphis Grizzlies ($7,000)
Gamesto Consider:
- MemphisGrizzlies @ Washington Wizards (240.5 over/under)
- Utah Jazz @Houston Rockets (231.5 over/under)
- Miami Heat @ PortlandTrail Blazers (228.5 over/under)
