Happy Friday my NBA DFS family and friends! After a small four game slate on Thursday we return with a monster 10 gamer on Friday Night with a ton of big prize pools, superstars, injury news and the typical chaos that follows an NBA slate of this size.

Opening up this ten-game slate, we have some really obvious star power and with so many big injury tags (Embiid, Donovan Mitchell, Kawhi, PG13, etc) – what we likely know going into this slate is that we will have multiple paths to the value that makes getting that star power, an easy roster decision.
What we also have is multiple high total games with projected fast pace spots including the Hawks/Wizards, Kings/Raptors, 76ers/TWolves and Nets/Thunder.
When we are looking at a slate that is this large – the best thing you can do is minimize your player pool and focus on the best game environments and the best value. With so many good spots to attack – it may be easy to just cross off slow pace and low total games like the Knicks/Cavs, Magic/Clippers, and Pacers/Hornets.
One other interesting note when you step back and look at the slate from a macro perspective – 9 of the 10 games start at 8:30 PM EST or earlier with the Utah/Dallas game being the lone 10 PM EST start. I bring that up because if you are back-loading your builds, just understand you have a far smaller “late-night” pool to pull options from if you intend to late swap.
The one game that really stands out to me at first glance tonight is the Bucks/Pelicans – a game that I think can be a core building block for tournaments with some serious game stack upside.
The Bucks do not need much in the way of explanation – they are a top 7 pace team in the NBA and the #1 rated offense in the league. They have concentrated usage and very clear star power – so landing on them as a core is pretty simple.
It all starts with Giannis Antetokounmpo ($10.8K) here tonight in a national TV game against the Pelicans. This is a match-up he lit up for 68 DK points last year and I think with the value we have/will have – I want to make sure I have one ceiling star at the core of my builds here tonight. The Pelicans rank in the bottom 6 in Def-Rtg this season and we just saw a similar star in Bradley Beal light up this Pelicans defense for 70+ DK points.
The secondary play for the Bucks comes down to Khris Middleton ($8.4K) or Jrue Holiday ($7K). If you didn’t think I was going to talk about Jrue REVENGE in his first game back in New Orleans – well, my friends, you were dead wrong.
I mentioned what Beal did last game against Bledsoe and company, so it is tough not to have interesting in the primary guard option for the Bucks here at just $7K. In both cases, Middleton and Jrue are the type of multi-category contributors that can easily reach a 6x ceiling alongside Giannis in the right game enviornment.
I lean towards Jrue at first glance for two reasons – if the Pelicans are without Lonzo Ball you put a worse on-ball defender in Eric Bledsoe on Jrue – with Bledsoe having the worst defensive rating of any Pelicans starter this season. Secondly, I think position needs will drive my roster decisions and with strong forwards on the other side of this game – I may opt to bypass Middleton and use Jrue to fill my PG/G slot.
The Pelicans side of this game is really intriguing to me – with or without Lonzo Ball. I mentioned this last time New Orleans played, but this slow-paced Pelicans attack has really changed with its opponents the last week – playing at the 3rd fastest pace in the NBA the last two games against fast-paced opposition like Washington and Minnesota.
This is a massive tick up for New Orleans who has ranked in the mid 20’s all season and are seeing roughly 5 more possessions per game these last two outings versus their season average.
More possessions = more DFS potential.
If Lonzo Ball is out, this obviously gives a solid uptick to the remainder of the Pelicans and I think DraftKings has set the pricing far too low for a starting unit that drives all the usage and production.
Eric Bledsoe ($5.7K) has a 24% usage rate this season with Lonzo off the court versus a 17% rate with him on – a massive swing in his role that would allow him to reach a similar 6x ceiling as he has on average the last two fast-paced games. Oh yeah – REVENGE! DOUBLE REVENGE!
If Lonzo were to miss – it gives added boost to both Brandon Ingram ($8K) and Zion Williamson ($7.6K) as well. Ingram dropped 49 DK points on the Bucks in their last meeting a season ago and he is coming off a 53 DK point outing against Washington last game where his production spiked once Lonzo went out.
We could see Nickeil Alexander Walker ($4.2K) carve out a bigger role as well as the last stretch that Lonzo sat (1/13-1/17) – NAW played 30+ minutes in two of those games and dropped 52 and 27 DK points!
What I really love about this game is how it gives you multiple paths to build game stacks – 4v2, 3v3 and any sort of combination you can think of.
Outside of Giannis, the rest of this game is incredibly fairly priced for two teams that will play at a fast pace with condensed starting rotations that play 30-35 minutes a night. If this game stays close, you could have a GPP takedown here with the PP/$ potential on both sides.
There is also some massive position flexibility in this game and one of the things I LOVE – is how you can use Giannis OR Zion at Center on DK. I do not love Center tonight on DraftKings so being able to slide Giannis OR Zion there and fill in a weak spot with a premium play from this game is a strategy I plan to utilize heavily tonight.
Starting out today we have to keep in mind that value will be coming – its too big of a slate with too many early question marks to not see multiple paths to value. All that means getting in stars and building backwards – for me I think it starts with Giannis and building out in a Pelicans/Bucks core game stack.

WE have one of the bigger slates on tap tonight with 10 games, a change from just four last night. Much like Wednesday, just be sure to try and focus on keeping out the noise. We’ll follow the cores and the model and it will all work out. Stay tuned to the Discord chat because it’s likely going to be a needed tool for a slate this size. Let’s get the ball rolling and look at who we want to highlight in the NBA Cash Game Breakdown 1/29 to find the green!
Atlanta – Clint Capela, Cam Reddish (Q)
Pelicans – Lonzo Ball (Q)
Cavaliers – Larry Nance (Q)
Raptors – OG Anunoby (Q)
Sixers – Joel Embiid (Q)
T’Wolves – KAT, Juancho Hernangomez, Jarrett Culver (O), D’Angelo Russell (Q)
Thunder – George Hill (O)
Clippers – Kawhi, Paul George (Q)
Jazz – Donovan Mitchell (Q)
Trae Young ($9,100 DK/$10,600 FD) – The FD price is too high but the DK pricing is ridiculously low. Young gets a pace up spot against the worst defensive team in the whole league. The Wizards allow the sixth-most points in the paint on the season and Young is driving the fourth-most in the NBA. He’s also eighth in points from drives on the year, and this spot couldn’t get much better for him. If this one stays close it should eclipse 235 points somewhat easily. Also, if Russell Westbrook is off his minutes restriction, this could be a fun chance to stack them up.
De’Aaron Fox ($8,500 DK/$7,900 FD) – I will have my Fox exposure on FD, since he’s nearly $3,000 cheaper than Young. He sits 13th in touches per game right now at about 81 a night. The Kings play fast and can coax an up and down game from the Raptors. Fox is the pick and roll ball handler about 40% of the time. The Raptors face that play type the lowest frequency in the league, but give up an average points per possession. Kyle Lowry’s defense has taken a step back so far with the worst defensive rating of his career to this point. Fox should give him some issues tonight.
Eric Bledsoe ($5,700 DK/$5,500 FD) – Bledsoe is affordable on both sites and he could be without Lonzo Ball again tonight. Without him this year, Bledsoe has a 23.7% usage rate and a 0.98 FPPM. He’s also going to have a bit of extra gusto tonight since the Bucks traded him in the offseason. The Bucks are playing at the seventh-fastest pace on the year and the Pelicans have started to move a bit themselves. They’re almost in the top 20, no mean feat for a team that was 28th recently.
Cole Anthony ($5,400 DK/$5,200 FD) – I’d prefer not to go down this far, but we’ll see what happens through the day. Anthony has a 22.2% usage rate and 0.92 FPPM without Markelle Fultz on the year. That comes with a 46.3% true shooting rate, which is pretty rough. The Clippers are going to be on a back to back here and probably won’t be playing high level defense here. They are likely to be without Kawhi and Paul George on top of it, meaning the game should be competitive tonight.
Honorable Mention – Ben Simmons (if Embiid is out), Dejounte Murray, Mike Conley (if no Mitchell)
Bradley Beal ($10,200 DK/$10,500 FD) – We’re on the fence here with Beal. The price is up there, but this is an elite game environment. If Westy is limited in minutes again, I’m much more willing to go here. I mean, Beal is scoring over 35 points per game right now and that’s easily the best in the league. The fastest way to score fantasy points is to score raw points (groundbreaking analysis there). We do have to point out that the Hawks are a surprising 11th in defensive rating, but the also don’t have anyone to stop Beal from putting in shot after shot. He’s fourth in free throw attempts and fantasy gods help John Collins if he’s around Beal.
Fred VanVleet ($7,500 DK/$8,300 FD) – Pascal Siakam is back in the lineup after an injury, but FVV against the Kings is so enticing. The pace is top five and the defense is bottom two, about as good as we get for matchups. This is a player that can rack up 50 FD points on just 10 real points! Sure, we shouldn’t count on the seven combined blocks and steals but he’s not scoring 10 very often either. VanVleet is fifth in three point attempts this year and the Kings are 0.1% away from the highest field goal percentage given up.
Jordan Clarkson ($6,400 DK/$5,800 FD) – If Mitchell remains out, it’s hard not to smash the button for Clarkson on FD if nothing else. He’s still a strong play with Mitchell but without him he’s a lock. Without Mitchell on the floor, Clarkson has a 29.7% usage and a 1.27 FPPM. He’s going to be the main trigger man even off the bench with 21 shot attempts last game in the course of 32 minutes. This is the exact same matchup he just torched and there’s no reason to not go right back to the well.
Hamidou Diallo ($3,900 DK/$4,400 FD) – I want to be a little careful here. Diallo is always a very popular play when George Hill is out, and I suspect that again. However, I’d rather play Cam Reddish on FD for $300 more. Diallo hasn’t cleared 23 minutes but one time all season long. That’s fine for a $3,900 player but it’s not the most ideal situation ever. Reddish played over 30 last game. He sports a 23.6% usage rate and a 1.07 FPPM on the season without Hill, and I’ll happily take the free square if that’s where ownership comes in. Just be aware he could be a solid GPP fade with potentially only 20 minutes.
Honorable Mention – Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Collin Sexton, Cam Reddish (if active)
Brandon Ingram ($8,000 DK/$7,900 FD) – He’s still under $8,000 on FD and this could be a very intriguing spot for him. It’s possible he’s without Lonzo, and I suspect that Zion has a bit of a tough time with Giannis on the other side. He won’t be able to just bully his way to the paint so easily. BI picked up the slack when Lonzo was out for the second half last game, posting almost 50 fantasy points. He’s sitting at a 27.4% usage without Ball which isn’t much of a change. However, Zion is at 31%. If he’s struggling, Ingram is going to be the offense in a big time pace up spot.
Tobias Harris ($6,800 DK/$7,000 FD) – This is a rare game where I might worry about the blowout, but I feel like it’s the perfect spot to sit Embiid if you’re Philly. If that’s the case, Harris is a stone cold lock at this salary. Harris posted 35 FD points on Monday without Biid in just 29 minutes. His usage compared to Ben Simmons without Biid is absurd, at 27.3% to 19.7%. No player on the team averages more than a 1.23 FPPM in that scenario and Harris is the engine of the offense as far as shooting goes. Wheels all the way up if Embiid sits out, and he’s still a strong play regardless.
Joe Ingles ($4,700 DK/$5,200 FD) – I….did not expect that from Ingles last game. Surely, it was an outlier game as he went 7-10 from deep so it’s not a good shot to replicate. However, neither site moved the price nearly enough. Ingles is over a fantasy point per minute without Spida on the court and he played 30 minutes. Even at his average, he’s a good bet for 6x on DK at this point. With the Jazz on a tear, I would guess they’re careful with Mitchell tonight. With a concussion, we should know fairly early.
Honorable Mention – Kevin Durant (DK only), Gordon Hayward, Michael Porter, De’Andre Hunter – if you pass on Trae on FD like I will likely do, Hunter is a very logical spot to get some Hawks exposure. If Embiid and Mitchell are out, my three main targets at SF are Harris, Ingles, Hunter in that order.
Domantas Sabonis ($9,200 DK/$9,000 FD) – I’m not sure why Sabonis is a good bit lower than normal on FD but I’ll take it. We talk constantly about picking on the front court of the Hornets, and Sabonis racked up a triple-double last time out. This man is just a monster and is right there with Nikola Jokic in touches per game at about 100 a night. Charlotte is 28th in paint points allowed and 17th in rebounding, perfect for Sabonis to attack. He’s sixth in paint points on the year and third in rebounding chances per night. We could be looking at another 50 fantasy points tonight.
Julius Randle ($9,300 DK/$8,800 FD) – This is the first time Randle has been under $9,000 on FD in a hot minute. He openly talked about being fatigued on the road trip, but some home cooking could get him rolling. Maybe he can get a New York Slice like Michael Scott in The Office. Anyways, he matchup is going to be solid as well. Andre Drummond near the paint isn’t scary and even though these two teams are good defensively with a slow pace, Randle can still show off. Cleveland is actually in the bottom 10 in rebounds per game even with Drum, an excellent chance for Randle to hit the glass and show off his 1.27 FPPM with nearly a 28% usage rate.
Marvin Bagley ($5,800 DK/$6,000 FD) – I will admit that the minutes were not great last game with just 21. I’m likely just taking him in cash on FD (though I like him GPP-wise for DK) if I don’t double-dip up high. The Raptors insistence in not playing Chris Boucher has helped lead them to being 26th in rebounds per game. Bagley is not only averaging a career-high 8.2 boards, he’s top 20 in putback points per game. Toronto is just 15th in that category defensively, opening a path for a double-double for Bagley. Just let this man play a bit.
Honorable Mention – Giannis, Serge Ibaka, Tauren Prince (if no Nance)
Nikola Vucevic ($8,800 DK/$9,200 FD) – Anytime Vuc is under $9,000 on DK he seems to attract some eyes. That’s the right path to take, as he’s averaging nearly 48 DK points on the season. Vuc continues to shoot over 44% from deep and while that’s not a hug part of his game, it doesn’t hurt either. He’s sporting a 1.39 FPPM and a 30% usage rate without Fultz. He’s jus not really priced accurately and I would expect him to be popular in this spot.
Al Horford ($5,900 DK/$5,500 FD) – The center agains the Nets should be in full swing tonight. I don’t think he’ll be popular on DK, but I think FD he could carry some of the highest ownership of the position. After a relatively lengthy absence with the birth of his child (not hating at all, but he missed two weeks), the veteran walked right back into 30 minutes. He went for a double-double end even though Clint Capela was awful last Nets game, the investment isn’t as high with Horford. Grain of salt, but without Hill he has a 1.54 FPPM over 45 minutes.
Cody Zeller ($4,000 DK) – I wouldn’t play him on FD I don’t think, with Horford only $900 more. However, he was wildly popular on DK last game and they only raised him $600. You can go double center if you choose on DK, which is a big reason Zeller should carry some ownership. He just smashed for the field, people will go right back. Across his 92 minutes so far, he has a 1.13 FPPM on just a 16.8% usage. If he’s going to get 30 minutes like last game, he’s mis-priced by roughly $1,000.
Honorable Mention – Nikola Jokic (DK only and MPJ has started to bite into the ceiling just slightly), Embiid (if active), Rudy Gobert (DK only)

Happy Thursday my NBA DFS friends – after a monster Wednesday slate we turn our sights to a solid 4 game Main Slate here with some stars, some scrubs, and a whole lot of ways to attack our builds on DraftKings and FanDuel. We get an extra 30 minutes to lock tonight with this slate kicking off at 7:30 PM EST – so let’s get started!
With Super Bowl 55 just a few weeks away, we are rolling out a SUPER promo to join the Win Daily Sports family as you can get a month pass of our All-Sports Gold Membership for 55% off!
Opening up this four-game Main Slate we have a ton of injury news we know already – specifically that the Clippers trip of Kawhi, PG13, and PatBev are all out again but we also have big-time news to watch as it relates to the status of Devin Booker and basically the entire Miami Heat roster (again).
It does sound like Devin Booker is likely to return for the Suns and to me, this is the biggest piece of news I am waiting on as it would completely change how we attack the late-night hammer of Warriors-Suns.
On short slates, like we have today, star power drives cash lines. It is just that simple. Looking back at the winning scores two nights ago on a similar three-game slate, winning GPP builds had 3-star cores of Trae Young, Rudy Gobert, and Boogie Cousins who all put up 50+ DK points. Anchoring to those stars is the key here again tonight in my opinion.
So tonight, the first question you have to ask yourself is which stars you are paying for.
The first player that you have to make a decision on is Damian Lillard ($10.6K). This is a great game environment for Dame, we know he gets all the usage with McCollum and Covington out again but I think it is fair to question whether the price is “worth” the investment.
In the four games since McCollum has been sidelined, Dame has put up 50, 50, 57 and 60 DK points – strong, but not once returning the type of must have value that his near $11K price tag would require.
When you take that into the context of this slate, one without a ton of obvious punt value, I wonder if paying the premium for Dame at the cost of the rest of your roster is optimal.
Instead, one way to attack this Portland side would be to fade Dame – getting your exposure with cheaper plays like Rodney Hood ($4.3K) and Carmelo Anthony ($5.6K) – in the hopes that they have ceiling scoring nights which in turn would mean that Dame would not.
The other side of this game with Houston has the star power but, maybe too many cooks in the kitchen. With Christian Wood coming back and now John Wall and Victor Oladipo both running the backcourt – this once barren value-heavy Rockets team may be – overpriced?
I know the Portland-Houston game will be a popular target tonight but if you look at the pricing as it relates to DFS – I think taking a stand and fading this game and hoping that the multitude of players available tonight with only one ball in play – means far more floor performances than ceilings.
Now if I am pivoting off this game, we still need star power to minimally match that game if it does hit. Sorry Clippers/Miami but I said star power – so we will go ahead and reserve you for the value fill-ins!
This leads me to the Suns/Warriors – a game that has multiple stars we can anchor to with ceiling potential.
Steph Curry ($9.7K) gets the same match-up we just saw Shai Gilgeous Alexander put up 49 DK points against last night, or Jamal Murray who put up 44 and 46 against in the previous games. The volume for Steph remains sky high especially behind the arc as he is the only player in the NBA averaging double-digit 3PA over his last five games. If Curry gets hot – he wins you the slate – its just that simple. I will take him at a $1K discount over Dame tonight.
The Suns choices hinge a bit on the status of Devin Booker ($8.3K) but I think building early in the day with him at your G spot on DK is ideal because if he is ruled out, you can simply pivot to Chris Paul ($8K) for a few hundred less. Using DraftKings position flexibility on a small slate like this could be a huge advantage if we do not have news before lock – so put Booker at your G spot since he is the more expensive player and if we get late news – you have the easy pivot and the salary to make it work.
I was all over DeAndre Ayton ($7.8K) early yesterday but we talked about in Discord that if Al Horford was in for OKC, it made sense to move off him. Well tonight, we have no such worries on the Golden State side as the Looney/Wiseman duo is primed to be taken for a ride here.
Take a look at what recent Centers have done to Golden State – Naz Reid (44 DK points), Mitchell Robinson (36), Trez Harrell (33) and what is interesting is that none of them played more than 28 minutes. In fact the only Center to play over 30 minutes against the Dubs the last two weeks was Nikole Jokic, who dropped a 65 DK point triple double.
Ayton has played 35 minutes now in five straight and 7 of his last 8 games and so if we are seeing Centers smash on a PP/M basis with sub 30 minute run – why would we not take the 35 minutes of Ayton in the same match-up?
A Curry/Ayton and either CP3/Booker core mini stack in this late night game will be at the heart of my builds today and has the kind of upside to match any other 3-some you can build around.
Starting my builds tonight with the core above leaves me with a ton of flexibility as I would have $4.8K per player for the rest of my build and so the decision then becomes do you go more balanced OR can you jam in one more stud.
My dude Adam Strangis in his Core 4 today – gave you a guy I think you simply need to add to the core I outlined above and his write up is spot on. Anthony Davis ($8.9K) is just too cheap and I think we have to price enforce him on DK tonight – it is that simple. Add him to my core above – you have four stars and roughly $4K per player for the rest of your build.
Next step – head to our custom projections, lock in that value and let’s start cashing!

After a pretty frustrating slate (looking SQUARELY at you, Clint Capela), we turn the page to a much more streamlined four game slate. We have a game that is incredible right off the bat with the Blazers and Rockets. There’s also the B squads for the Clippers and Heat squaring off, so this is an interesting slate. Let’s dive in and figure out who makes for the best plays of the slate in the NBA Thursday 1/28 Core Four to find the green!
Damian Lillard ($10,600 DK/$9,700 FD) – He is the highest salaried player on DK, and he really should be. Both teams are in the top 13 in pace on the season and the Blazers continue to not believe in defense. Lillard has 124 minutes with C.J. McCollum, Jusuf Nurkic and Robert Covington all out tonight and he’s rocking a 30.3% usage rate and a 1.25 FPPM. Dame is the pick and roll ball handler the fifth-most possessions this season and the Rockets are tied for dead last in points per possession to the PnR ball handler. This is an elite spot for Dame Time to go nuts. On FD, the price is disrespectful and not even a question. Even on DK, I’m in.
Carmelo Anthony ($5,600 DK/$5,200 FD) – We’re not going far because we can get another night of vintage Melo in this spot. In the same scenario of who’s missing for Portland, Melo has played 146 minutes and is only behind Dame in usage at 27.5% and a 0.92 FPPM. Even better was seeing him be on the floor for 34 minutes last game, while posting almost 40 fantasy points. He gets the same up-tempo spot that Lillard does and this is the premier game stack of the evening.
Christian Wood ($9,500 FD) – I said this was a great game to stack and I’m sticking with it…. on FD. Wood is due back from a sprained ankle and he says he’s 100%. With the amount of minutes DeMarcus Cousins has played lately, I think Wood walks right back into his normal run of 33 minutes per game. Wood sits 11th in paint touches, which leaves him on Enes Kanter and Harry Giles. Good luck with that fellas. Both of these teams are in the bottom four in rebounds per game, and Wood averages 17.3 rebounding chances per game. That’s 11th in the league and I’m loving this three man mini stack. If we get enough value, I’d love to run Deandre Ayton with him as a double center on DK. We’ll see if that happens or not.
The reason I said I’m lily only playing Wood on FD is because DK has done the unthinkable. They have priced Anthony Davis under $9,000. AD could be play the early 2000’s Pistons and I. Wouldn’t. Care. This man should NEVER be priced below $9,000 on DK. EVER. If people want to fade him, let them. Yes, the Lakers should steamroll the Pistons. AD will be one of the main reasons why and he’s going to eat poor PlumDawg alive. Davis just put up 47 DK points while shooting 5-16 and only scoring 17 real points. Need I say more?
I feel like DK just taunted us and somehow knew that AD would get ruled out. I don’t care for it, I know that. Markieff Morris takes his place on DK because he’s minimum price and has positionally flexibility.
Terrance Mann ($5,400 DK/$4,500 FD) – Mann is a great fit on both sites but especially FD where we need two shooting guards. He played right about 34 minutes last game and put up 30+ DK despite shooting just eight times. Those are the kinds of players I love because they can produce without scoring a bunch. If he scores more this game, the ceiling could be higher. With the Clippers being so short and still only playing Lou Williams about 22 minutes, Mann checks in as a great salary saver again tonight, as DK has priced up the Clippers to an extreme. On FD, Reggie Jackson will also be hard to get away from and I’m fine with both of them together.
