NBA DFS has a seven-game slate on DraftKings, FanDuel, and SuperDraft. These are the early morning Top 5 NBA DFS Picks for DraftKings and Fanduel. Be sure to dive into the NBA DFS Rankings, Cash Picks, and Player Pool or the GPP Picks and Player Pool afterward. And of course, the Rise or Fall NBA DFS Projections, ownerships, player ratings, and data are a good place to start for daily fantasy sports.
Top 5 NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks
DraftKings NBA DFS Target – Giannis Antetokounmpo, PF/C, MIL @ WAS O/U 239
Giannis comes into tonight’s action with a salary of 11k and it doesn’t scare me one bit. He’s averaging 52 DraftKings points over his last three games, and gets a matchup against the defenseless Wizards.
Antetokounmpo is the highest rated player in the Team Rise or Fall NBA DFS Study hub. I’m expecting him to live up to that rating with a classic Greek Freak performance.
DraftKings NBA DFS Target – James Harden, PG, BKN vs DET O/U 228
If Giannis’ salary is too rich for your blood let me grab your attention with Harden and the $100 savings he provides. James is averaging an insane 68 DK points over his last three games, and he’s dropped an average of 56 DK points in his last three games against Detroit.Â
Harden is one of the greatest scorers the NBA has ever seen but The Beard stuffs the stat sheet. He can drop 10+ assist while scoring 30+ points and grabbing a decent amount of rebounds.
FanDuel NBA DFS Target – De’Aaron Fox, PG, SAC @ ATL O/U 238
A ball dominant point guard in a game with a high implied total. Stop me if you’ve seen me write about this before. It doesn’t hurt that Fox is in a great spot while rocking a sub-9k salary.
Fox is the fourth highest rated player in our NBA DFS Study hub for FanDuel. He’s averaging 51 FD points over his last three games. There’s potential here for a huge score in a game that Vegas expects to be a shootout.
FanDuel NBA DFS Target – Luka Doncic, PG, DAL @ DEN O/U 226.5
I recommended Luka as one of my early NBA DFS picks a couple of days ago and then he ended up resting. My bad. But let’s hop back on that wave today.
Luka is averaging 51 FD points in his last three games. He’s dropped an incredible average of 70 FD points in his last three games against Denver. The game is at altitude but Doncic should be good and rested and able to chase another triple double.
NBA DFS Lineup Winning Pick – Khris Middleton, SG, MIL @ WAS O/U 239
Middleton is 8k on DraftKings and 7.5k on FanDuel so I do prefer him on FD. He’s averaging nearly 35 fantasy points over his last three games which isn’t that impressive. What I do like is that in his last three games against Washington he’s averaged over 50 fantasy points. My lineups will be sitting pretty if he gets close to that tonight.
