NBA DFS Top Plays for 11/20/23

Damian Lillard – $9200 (FD) / $9600 (DK)

Opponent – Wizards
Fading the Bucks might be a concern due to potential blowout risk against the Wizards. However, the matchup is too good to ignore. The Wizards play at the NBA’s fastest pace and have a subpar defensive efficiency. Damian Lillard, despite the presence of Giannis, is still an attractive option.

Lillard is coming off a strong performance with 27 points and 12 assists in his last game against the Mavericks. He’s been on fire recently, averaging 42 DraftKings points over his last seven outings. Facing Washington, which ranks 26th in defensive efficiency and 28th in points allowed to guards, Lillard is poised for another big night.

De’Aaron Fox – $9900 (FD) / $9300 (DK)

Opponent – Pelicans
Paying up for guards is almost a necessity in this slate, and De’Aaron Fox is a prime choice. He’s been delivering impressive performances, averaging 32 points, 6.3 assists, and 4.8 rebounds over his last four games.

Although his DraftKings price hasn’t fully reflected his production, Fox is still worth considering. He’s scored at least 50 DraftKings points in four of his last five games, with a season-high 70 DK points in his latest outing. Facing the injury-plagued Pelicans, Fox has a high floor and should continue his stellar play.

Giannis Antetokounmpo – $11000 (FD) / $11000 (DK)

Opponent – Wizards
As mentioned earlier, the Bucks have an exceptional matchup against the Wizards. Giannis is a top-tier option, averaging 29 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, and 2.2 combined blocks and steals per game. His floor is incredibly high, making him a reliable choice even in potential blowout scenarios.

Giannis recently exploded with a season-high 76 DraftKings points, scoring at least 69 fantasy points in three of his last five games. He has a history of dominating the Wizards, having scored at least 63 fantasy points in seven of their last eight matchups. Don’t miss out on Giannis in this favorable matchup.
