It's Thursday, November 13th, and we have a 3-game NBA DFS main slate on DraftKings and FanDuel.

Although it's only three games, there is a lot to like as every game on the board has at least 231 implied points. There are three teams on the second leg of a back-to-back but nobody is playing the front leg. Donovan Mitchell, Pascal Siakam, and Devin Booker head the slate tonight from a price perspective. Lets dive into the slate!

 

 

Before actually diving into the meat and potatoes, welcome to the NBA DFS season. If this is your first time reading our column on NBA DFS picks, I just want to welcome you and give you a few tips and tricks on what you should be looking for each night.

  • News outlets: reliable sources that give us injury news & starting lineups
  • Pace of play: who's playing fast vs. who's playing slow. Which teams get a pace-up spot (more possessions) vs. pace-down (fewer possessions)
  • Usage rates: is a percentage of how many plays that player is being used in
  • NBA DFS Projections
  • Lineup Generator
  • NBA Ownership

  • Update - 4:45 pm ET
  • Adding Mouhamed Gueye to core plays but GPPs. He's played 23+ minutes in all three games Kristaps Porzingis has missed this year. Jalen Johnson missed two of them. Trae Young played, but Zaccharie Risacher didn't.
  • Aaron Nesmith is a player I didn't mention in playbook, but the one fringe guy I'd be OK getting to. He was pacing for 40 minutes before the blowout.
  • Update - 8:45 pm ET
  • Nick Richards starting is an elite value play.
