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

Happy Sunday, November 30th, we have a 5-game NBA DFS main slate on DraftKings and a 7-gamer on FanDuel.

We have seven games on Sunday and all seven have 230 implied points or more. We have two games with double-digit spreads and star power everywhere we turn as Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Johnson, and Tyrese Maxey are taking the floor.

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

Pre/Post-Lock Update

This section will be used for anything that changes from the morning until right up to roster lock. 

Injury updates, players we’re higher on than we were in the morning and so much more.

All status updates after contest roster lock will be made in the Fantasy Alarm Discord: https://discord.gg/2yATJxXe8G

• UPDATE - 4:40 pm ET
• Donovan Clingan is OUT
• Robert Williams is projected to be one of the highest-owned plays of the day at $3.7K on DK but is not that good of a value at $4.5K on FD. Duop Reath is a decent GPP pivot, especially if you believe this game becomes a blow out (OKC -11.5)
• Zion Williamson, Trey Murphy, Jordan Hawkins are all OUT
• Jose Alvarado & Jeremiah Fears overlapped a LOT on Saturday. That should happen again on Sunday. We should see Micah Peavy and Bryce McGowens extended again. Saddiq Bey is as safe as it gets IF you think this game can stay close.
• UPDATE - 5:40 pm ET
• Neither Sandro Mamukelashvili or Robert Williams are starting tonight. Still think Mamu is perfectly fine as a play. Not as high on Robert Williams, but he's a 1.2 FP/min player.
