NBA DFS has a nine-game slate on DraftKings and FanDuel, and a seven-game slate on 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 – Nikola Jokic, C, DEN @ IND O/U 227
Jokic has played at an MVP level throughout the first half of the NBA season. He deserves our consideration nearly every slate.
Nikola is averaging 70.9 DK points over his last three games according to the Team Rise or Fall NBA DFS Projections Study Hub for DraftKings. He dropped 56 DK points his last time out against Indiana. I’m looking for a similar performance unless he gets some pre-All-Star game rest.
DraftKings NBA DFS Target – Kawhi Leonard, SF, LAC @ WAS O/U 236
It’s early so keep your eyes and ears open for any news regarding Leonard and his back.
With that out of the way it’s good to note that The Claw is averaging 43.9 DK points over his last three games, and 52.1 DK points in his last three games against Washington.
If he plays, he slays.
FanDuel NBA DFS Target – Damian Lillard, PG, POR vs SAC O/U 236.5
Lillard is the highest rated player in our NBA DFS Projections Study Hub for FanDuel. He’s averaging 45 FD points over his last three games, and tonight he draws a favorable matchup against the Sacramento Kings.
Dame Dolla (No “r” Richard Jefferson) abused the Kings for 69 FD points in their last matchup. I’m expecting him to head into the all-star break on a high note.
FanDuel NBA DFS Target – De’Aaron Fox, PG, SAC @ POR O/U 236.5
Fox is the second highest rated player in our NBA DFS Projections Study Hub for FanDuel. He’s averaging 43 FD points over his last three games, and he put up 46 FD points in his last game against the Blazers.
I’m expecting an up and down game with minimal defense as these teams are thinking about their vacation time. Vegas kind of agrees with me via the 236.5 implied game total.
NBA DFS Lineup Winning Pick – Kyle Lowry, PG, TOR @ BOS O/U 220
Lowry is the top rated player on DK and the third highest rated player on FD in our NBA DFS Projections Study Hub.Â
Kyle and the Raptors have been playing much better lately and I’m looking for that to continue against the up and down Celtics.
Lowry is averaging 49 DK and 46 FD points over his last three games. It’s gonna be a good night if he puts up numbers close to those tonight.
