Hello Razzball Nation! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, stuffing your faces and spending some quality time with family. With that wholesome fun over with, it’s time to make some money. Welcome to yet another massive NBA DFS slate for Wednesday. There are 13 games tonight so as always, my #1 piece of advice is to be up to date on injuries. With this many games there are bound to be great value opportunities.
Let’s get down to it. Pricing is always (Fanduel/DraftKings). I mostly play tournaments and my picks will always bias towards volatility and upside.
Guards
Spend ups (9k and over)
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ($10,400/$10,300)
SGA is in a good spot against a terrible Spurs team. This game has a total of 237.5 and I will be targeting players on both sides of this high scoring game.
SGA is listed as questionable right now, so be ready to pivot if he can’t play. The Q tag will lower ownership if he does play. If he can’t go, I would have Josh Giddey, Tre Mann, and Aleksej Pokusevski as priority plays while Lu Dort becomes a good play as well. Whether he plays or not will affect this slate in a big way.
Tyrese Haliburton ($9,600/$9,500)
The days of being able to play Haliburton at a sub 9k price point are behind us, but he is still a good play in another high scoring game against the Kings with a total of 239. I’ll be trying to stack Thunder/Spurs and Pacers/Kings as much as possible.
De’Aaron Fox ($9,100/$9,000)
Same reason I’m on Haliburton, targeting both sides of a high scoring game.
Middle-to-High (7k-8.9k)
Jamal Murray ($7,100/$7,200)
Jamal has been trending up recently and he gets a matchup against the lowly Rockets, who he just torched last game.
Middle (5k-6.9k)
Josh Giddey ($6,800/$6,700)
This is only if SGA is out.
Shake Milton ($6,600/$6,900)
Even with Embiid back last game Shake still managed a great outing. He’s got a tough matchup against the Cavs, but he’s way underpriced for what he’s been doing recently.
D’Angelo Russell ($6,600/$6,400)
In a high scoring game against the Grizzlies with a total of 231.5, Russell will need to pick up more of the scoring load with KAT out. That being said, it’s hard to trust D’Lo. He’s a GPP option but not a core player for me.
Tre Jones ($6,400/$6,300)
Jones just came off a huge game and is in a good spot in a high scoring game.
Value Town (Under 5k)
Tre Mann ($4,400/$3,300)
This is only if SGA is out, as Mann would most likely start and be a popular value play.
Forwards
Spend ups (9k and over)
Kevin Durant ($10,600/$11,200)
Don’t like the price on DK, but he’s a GPP spend up option on FD.
Jayson Tatum ($10,200/$10,800)
Same as Durant, not a priority play but definitely an option. If Jaylen Brown, who is currently questionable, is out I’d like him more.
Middle-to-High (7k-8.9k)
Zion Williamson ($8,500/$8,600)
With Brandon Ingram out, it’s hard not to play Zion.
Anthony Edwards ($8,000/$8,000)
In a high scoring game and with KAT out, he’s the undisputed #1 option. His price should be a bit higher than this with his new role.
Middle (5k-6.9k)
Keldon Johnson ($6,700/$7,100)
In a high scoring game and, because of his recent slump, his price is down. He should be able to beat value with his price this low.
Kevin Huerter ($6,100/$5,500)
Like the price more on DK than FD, but he’s an option both places.
Lu Dort ($5,500/$5,400)
This is only if SGA is out.
Value Town (Under 5k)
Aleksej Pokusevski ($5,000/$4,600)
If SGA is out, Poku is a priority play. He’s incredibly volatile and could give you a dud, but this kind of game environment against a bad team is exactly the situation he can thrive in. He’s purely a GPP play with a high ceiling and low floor.
Kyle Anderson ($4,600/$3,800)
Should be starting with KAT out. If he is he’s a great play, but look for lineup updates.
Doug McDermott ($3,600/$3,600)
He’s near min price on both sites and, with Jeremy Sochan out, McDermott should get more playing time. He most likely won’t start, as the Spurs will probably go with Keita Bates-Diop instead, but I’d expect McDermott to be the better play.
Centers
Spend ups (9k and over)
Nikola Jokic ($11,200/$11,700)
Probably not playing him on DK at that price, but he’s in play on FD. This game has blowout risk though so be warned.
Anthony Davis ($10,800/$10,700)
He’s been killing it lately and is definitely in play as a GPP option.
Middle-to-High (7k-8.9k)
Domantas Sabonis ($8,800/$9,200)
Piece of a high scoring game and love his price on FD.
Myles Turner ($7,900/$7,600)
Yet another piece of a high scoring game.
Rudy Gobert ($7,500/$6,800)
I think Rudy will be better for fantasy without KAT. If he has similar numbers without KAT as he did on the Jazz then his price will be above 8k very soon. Take advantage now while you can.
Middle (5k-6.9k)
Nic Claxton ($6,100/$5,800)
Ben Simmons being out ensures he will get full starter minutes and he’s been trending back up recently.
Value Town (Under 5k)
Zach Collins ($4,500/$4,500)
No Jakob Poeltl means Collins should start and, playing the Thunder, he only needs to contend with Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Poku at center. If he can stay out of foul trouble and the Spurs don’t do a platoon with Charles Bassey, he should smash this price.
