David Jones won 100K on FanDuel! Read about it here
IMPORTANT: NBA DFS is completely different than any other sport. Players get ruled out five minutes before games and you HAVE TO BE READY to pivot. I will update this article as close to lineup lock as possible with any big news, but play it safe and stay on top of the news yourself. Hanging out in our Slack Chat is a great way to keep up to date.
I refer to FanDuel pricing today.
11/30 NBA DFS Point Guard
- Ben Simmons ($8,700 FD)
The price is right for Simmons. I think it is a real possibility Embiid sits on a back to back, which would make Simmons a must play. Even if Embiid does get the start, he should be limited and Simmons technically has a better matchup than Westbrook and Young. Update: Embiid going to play. I bump Simmons under Bledsoe, Young and Trae now
2. Eric Bledsoe ($7,600 FD)
The Bucks preserved his minutes last night in a blowout against the Cavs. Bledsoe should get close to 30 minutes tonight and is 1K cheaper than Malcolm Brogdon, who I have projected similarly.
Note: Trae Young, Russell Westbrook (both options I have projected higher than Simmons and Bledsoe however they are more expensive. If you can fit Trae in I think you have to play Harden or Westbrook with him. If you can slide in Westbrook over Simmons because you have the salary I would do it. Although I wrote up Simmons first, Westbrook should outscore him if no 76ers starters are rested.
Update: Austin Rivers gets a boost with no Daniel House. Rivers is min price and I like him more on DraftKings.
11/30 NBA DFS Shooting Guard
- James Harden ($11,500 FD)
Whenever he plays he has the ability to be the highest-scoring player of the slate and tonight he has a cake matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. If the game stays close he has 60+ upside. In GPPs and Cash, you lock him in. Fading such high upside players (like him and Giannis) on small three-game slates usually doesn’t work very well.
2. DeAndre Bembry ($4,000 FD)
He is starting and has a long leash for the Atlanta Hawks. He will be up against James Harden who’s defense is always a good spot to target in NBA DFS. I have slight hesitation to play him because of the OT game last night where he played 40 minutes, however even if he only gets 30 minutes that is still enough time too far exceed his 4K price tag.
Pivot: Donte DiVincenzo, Devonte’ Graham, Jeremy Lamb, Evan Turner (as a pivot off Bembry, high risk)
11/30 Small Forward
- Giannis Antetokounmpo ($12,400 FD)
Very high price tag but guaranteed at least 50 points with 65+ upside if the game stays close. It is a three-game slate. You probably need to find a way to get him in tonight.
2. Update: Doubtful: Daniel House ($5,400 FD)
He missed last night’s game because of an illness. If he is starting tonight he is going to get 30+ minutes against the Atlanta Hawks who are currently ranked 23rd at defending the position.
Pivot: Tobias Harris, Miles Bridges, T.J. Warren
Note: James Ennis and Matisse Thybulle might be popular again tonight if Josh Richardson or a big man misses. I never play these guys but for some reason, people keep running back to Thybulle after getting burned by him time and time again. I could also see some people chasing the James Ennis points tonight too. I would never do that on a large slate, (because neither is reliable) but on a three gamer, they may need to be considered. Keep an eye on who is sitting and who is starting for the 76ers.
11/30 NBA DFS Power Forward
Update: PJ Washington match gets a lot better with no Brook Lopez in the paint for the Bucks. He is my favorite salary savers at PF tonight.
- Jabari Parker ($7,400 FD)
A lot of people chased the points with him last night, which was not the right spot to do so. I like this matchup for Parker a lot better against the high paced Houston Rockets. I do worry about the blowout here, but hopefully, Parker can help keep this one respectable. The Rockets should be without center Clint Capella which will just increase Parker’s upside for boards and put-backs.
2. Domantas Sabonis ($8,500 FD) Update: Hearing rumblings Turner might be out. IF he is LOCK in Sabonis.
He is one of the most reliable players in fantasy and still has a fair price tag. If one of the 76ers bigs is out Saturday night, I like him even more.
Pivot: Al Horford, Gary Clark, Ersan Ilyasova (no Brook Lopez, he gets bumped up), DJ Wilson if we get confirmation he will get extended run
11/30 DFS Center
- UPDATE: Zeller is probable now, fade Bismack Biyombo ($4,800 FD)
He is just too cheap if he is starting again. If Zeller is out, lock in the big man Biyombo again.
Pivot: Myles Turner, Joel Embiid: I really don’t like him tonight because he is on a back to back (and that matters with him), plus he has the highest price at the position. However, we do not have many options at center tonight.
Update: Embiid gonna play, I still think he costs too much.
Update: Robin Lopez will get more time at center against the Hornets and is min price. I have three FanDuel teams tonight. I will put him on one
