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 did my research on DRAFTKINGS today. The players can be used on both sites, but I refer to DRAFTKINGS pricing.
11/12 NBA DFS Point Guard
- Ja Morant ($6,700 DK)
Morant goes against the injury devastated Golden State Warriors at home tonight in an up tempo game. He should get around 30 minutes. Each game this season he has gotten 30 minutes he has put up over 40 DK points. If Golden State can hang with the Grizzlies (that feels weird to type) then we are all going to be big Morant fans by the end of the night. He feels underpriced for his NBA DFS ceiling.
2. Anfernee Simons ($4,400 DK)
With Lillard out he will probably start and get extended run. He has only eclipsed 30 DK points once this year, but against the Pelicans terrible defense he probably puts up the best game of his short NBA career. That has been the trend for everyone else who faces them this season, so let’s stick with what works. I don’t have a problem playing him and CJ McCollum in the same line.
Pivot: Ky Bowman, Frank Jackson (if starting and no Lonzo), Rondo on DK with no minute limits makes since too.
11/12 NBA DFS Shooting Guard
- CJ McCollum ($7,800 DK)
As I am writing this Dame Lillard has been ruled out. The offense is going to flow through McCollum and he has the best matchup on the board. Don’t over think it. CJ should be one of the main guys in your core tonight.
2. Jru Holiday ($8,800 DK)
Update: Small bump down with Ingram back
If Lonzo and Ingram are out Jrue will again be the main focal point of the offense. Portland is ranked 29th against defending the guards this season and if this game doesn’t get out of hand (it shouldn’t) we should see Holiday getting close to the 45-50 DK point range yet again. He has eclipsed 45 DK points in three of his last four games with similar circumstances. If Lonzo and Ingram play, I will bump him down slightly. We have to continue to watch the news in NBA DFS. Especially these Pelicans..
2. Alec Burks ($5,000 DK)
He should get the start tonight with no D. Russ. The Memphis Grizzlies have been one of the best teams to target with guards this season as they have abandoned their traditional way of slowing teams down. The Grizzlies are the 24th worst team at defending the SG currently and I think this game can stay close. Burks should be popular tonight, but for good reason.
Pivot: Kent Bazemore (lower on Bazemore now with Melo getting 20 minutes)
Update: Booker gets big boost if Rubio and Baynes out
11/12 Small Forward
- LeBron James ($11,000 DK)
It’s a four game slate and LeBron James is on it with a ton of value opening up at other positions. He is still in elite form and is a nightly triple double threat. No need to pivot off the hottest guy on the court tonight.
Update: Brandon Ingram – He is playing, I like the matchup and the price. I will have one team with him.
2. Bojan Bogdanovic ($7,100 DK)
He is finally getting the minutes he is due for the Kings with Fox on the injured list. He can score, rebound and assist. I like players that contribute in multiple categories. Every game he has gotten over 30 minutes this season he has put up over 30 DK points. Tonight he should get over 30 minutes again.
Pivot: Jae Crowder, Dillion Brooks
11/12 NBA DFS Power Forward
- Anthony Davis ($9,800 FD)
This is the lowest price I remember seeing for Davis is a long time. People may be scared off that he only got one single rebound last game (that’s crazy) but this guy has the highest ceiling in all of NBA DFS when he is clicking. I know he is dealing with a shoulder issue now, which does make it scary to roster, but with all the value on tonights slate I think we have to play him and hope he doesn’t aggravate his shoulder and head to the locker room early. His last game you saw his NBA DFS floor with only 30 DK points. I guarantee that he exceeds that tonight (if he stays healthy) and makes up for his underwhelming performance last outing.
2. Nicolo Melli ($4,400 DK)
UPDATE: Ingram in, I am moving off Melli
The Pels are going to be very thin down low tonight, especially if Ingram misses. Melli is getting around 25 minutes a game and producing lately with 27 and 28 DK points in back to back games. If Ingram does happen to play I will bump him down slightly.
Pivot: Draymond Green, Richaun Holmes, Eric Paschall ( liking him more as we get closer to lock)
11/12 DFS Center
- Jaxson Hayes ($4,900 DK)
Favors and Okafor (doubtful) are out leaving Jaxson Hayes to get around 30 minutes at Center against the Portland Trailblazers. If Brandon Ingram is out too I will lock Hayes into all my lines at a very cheap price. Hayes is producing about a point per minute when on the court and if he can can get me 30 DK points in NBA DFS tonight I will be more than happy. If Ingram is in, he gets a small bump down (25 minutes?) but not enough to get me off of him.
