NBA DFS Picks, Projections, Lineups, Injuries & More Today: Sunday Playbook

Happy Sunday, November 23rd, we have a 7-game NBA DFS main slate on DraftKings and FanDuel.

We have seven games on Sunday and most of today's games have wide spreads and seem to be mismatches. There's a lot of star power on the board with Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, James Harden, and Jalen Johnson taking the floor. Let's dive into tonight's main 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
