We have a seven game NBA DFS main slate on Saturday, November 4th, on DraftKings and FanDuel. We have most teams on the second night of a back-to-back, however, the star power is not lacking. This slate features the likes of Nikola Jokic, Jayson Tatum, Anthony Davis, and of course LeBron James.

Make sure to check out today's NBA DFS projections and NBA DFS ownership projections before finalizing your lineups today. Keep your eyes on the news leading up to and beyond roster lock.

Favorite Starters to Use for DFS Lineups

Anthony Davis, C Los Angeles Lakers

Davis is a pretty solid lineup lock for me tonight. With the $2,100 price difference between him and Jokic, he makes for the perfect pivot off Joker tonight. Plus, we saw this matchup against the Orlando Magic on Monday and Davis went wild. Davis shot 12-18 from the field, grabbed 19 rebounds, dished out five assists, and blocked three shots for 66.25 fantasy points. That was his third out of four games in which he scored over 60 fantasy points. His price just isn't high enough tonight, and I am all in on the Laker big man.

Anthony Edwards, SG Minnesota Timberwolves

Anthony Edwards just seems like he is in a smash spot against the Jazz tonight. The Jazz defense has struggled to stop everybody this season as they rank in the bottom 10 in defensive efficiency. In my opinion, the Jazz don't really have a guy to check Edwards tonight, maybe Talen Horton-Tucker but he does not scare me off Ant tonight. Edwards is coming off a quiet outing against the Nuggets only scoring 30 fantasy points as he didn't do much outside of scoring. I look for Edwards to get back to stuffing the stat sheet in a great matchup tonight. 

CJ McCollum, PG New Orleans Pelicans

Brandon Ingram is questionable heading into tonight so this play kind of hinges off of that. CJ McCollum is still under 8K on DraftKings and has smashed that value in back-to-back games without Ingram in the lineup scoring 45 and 55 fantasy points.  We also love seeing the volume of shots CJ is getting as he has gotten up over 20 shots in two of his last three contests, while also dishing out at least five assists in each game this season. Plus it is a great matchup against the Hawks with a game total of over 234.

Update: Brandon Ingram is active tonight, so CJ's ceiling take a bit of a hit. But look at the bright side, if you play him you will get him at less ownership now.

Dejounte Murray, SG Atlanta Hawks

Like McCollum above, Murray is priced under 8k and that seems very low. He has hit that value in back-to-back games scoring 44 and 61 fantasy points. In another matchup that should have a great game environment, Murray should once again be on our radar. Even when Murray doesn't have his shot falling, you know that he will give you the perifocal stats. He has at least five assists in every game this season and has at least two steals in three straight games. Give Murray a go at his price point once again tonight.

Gordon Hayward, SF/PF Charlotte Hornets

Hayward has quietly been a very solid value to start this season but his price has taken a bit of a jump up to $6,200 in the last few slates. Well, I am still in on him in a game that features two teams that rank in the top-5 in pace in the entire league. He has scored over 31 fantasy points in three out of four games and his the one game he didn't he scored 29.5. Hayward just does a little bit of everything for this team and he will have plenty of opportunities tonight as this game should be flying up and down the court.

Mispriced Plays to Target (Players Priced to Exceed Value)

Dorian Finney-Smith, PF Brooklyn Nets

There is no Ben Simmons tonight, and Nic Claxton has been ruled out, which means DFS will once again be in the starting lineup. He is only $5,300 on DraftKings and I could see him smashing that value like he already has done this season. Dorian Finney-Smith has played at least 30 minutes in four straight games and hasn't scored fewer than 22 fantasy points in each. DFS  is once again a solid value tonight.

Kevin Huerter, SG Sacramento Kings

I also love Kevin Huerter tonight for the Kings with De'Aaron Fox. Huerter is only $5,100 on DraftKings and he has eclipsed five times that value in back-to-back games. He has done that by shooting fewer than 40% in both of those games. we have seen Huerter be a flame thrower at times from behind the arc. If he gets hot, lookout, he could be in for a big night against one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA, the Houston Rockets.

Favorite Bargain Plays to Use for DFS Lineups

Bruce Brown, SF/PG, Indiana Pacers

We have talked about this great game environment a few times already, but Bruce Brown is in a great spot. Tyrese Haliburton is questionable tonight on the second night of a back-to-back, which bodes well for the hustle player Brown. This game against Charlotte should stay competitive, and similar to Gordon Hayward above, Brown does a lot of the little things for the Pacers. Plus, Brown has gotten up at least six three-point attempts in three of five games while hitting at least three giving him a bit of a boost on DraftKings.

Onyeka Okongwu, C Atlanta Hawks

Okongwu has been awesome for the Hawks over the past three games. The young big man has played at least 23 minutes off of the bench in three straight games while also scoring at least 23 fantasy points in three straight games including a 35-point performance in his last game. At this point in their career, it looks like he may be the better player than Clint Capela, and could start to get more run. There is no reason you can not play Okongwu again tonight.

Cam Reddish, SG/SF Los Angeles Lakers

Taurean Prince has been ruled out for tonight's game which means Camm Reddish should receive the start once again. Reddish started and played 37 minutes in the Lakers last win against the Clippers. He finished with 27.5 fantasy points while posting a stat line of eight points, four assists, four rebounds, and three steals. The steals may not be sustainable, but he also struggled to make shots last game going just 2-7 and 1-5 from downtown. If he makes shots tonight that could make up for the drop-off in steals. Reddish is a great play at just 4K on DraftKings.

Payton Pritchard, PG Boston Celtics

I expect Pritchard to be very chalky tonight, but he should still be in play. I am not sure he starts tonight with Derrick White out for personal reasons, but he will still get an extra run. In the blowout win against Indiana on Wednesday, Pritchard played at least 25 minutes for the second straight game and scored a season-high 34 fantasy points, smashing his value, and winning you some money if you played him. He could do the same thing tonight against a struggling Nets defense.

Sam Hauser, SF Boston Celtics

Another Celtic I like playing while shopping in the bargain bin is Sam Hauser. Hauser has played 19 and 25 minutes in the last two games and the sharpshooter has produced scoring at least 22 fantasy points in each game. He has shot 15 three-point attempts in those two games while hitting six of them. Look for Hauser to smash his value tonight in a game in which he could receive a surprise start.
