NBA DFS Top Plays for 11/21/23

Anthony Davis (PF/C – LAL):

• DraftKings: $9,700 – FanDuel: $10,800

Anthony Davis may have had some ups and downs this season, but when he’s up, he’s way up. In nine of his last 11 games, Davis has scored a minimum of 50 DraftKings points, averaging nearly 55 DK points per game during that stretch. This kind of ceiling is rare, and Davis has a history of delivering. The matchup against Utah is incredibly favorable, with the Jazz allowing the most fantasy points to opposing big men. With the Jazz missing their top rim protector, Walker Kessler, Davis has a significant advantage. The Jazz also have the fourth-worst defensive rating in the league, making Davis an even more appealing option.

Trae Young (PG – ATL):

• DraftKings: $9,200 – FanDuel: $9,100

In a game with a sky-high total, Trae Young and the Hawks’ backcourt are prime roster options. Young’s three-point shooting has been below par this season, but he’s maintaining a high usage rate and getting to the free-throw line more frequently. This matchup against the Pacers should be a high-scoring affair, as the Pacers rank poorly in defensive efficiency and points allowed. Young has been consistent, with at least 38 DraftKings points in every game this season and over 44 DraftKings points in seven consecutive outings. With both teams playing at a fast pace, Young should have ample opportunities to contribute across the stat sheet.

Tyrese Haliburton (PG – IND):

• DraftKings: $10,300 – FanDuel: $10,400

The Pacers-Hawks game boasts an incredible 250-point over/under, making Tyrese Haliburton a premium pick despite the price. The pace of the game is expected to be ultra-fast, and Haliburton has been delivering significant minutes and impressive averages of 23.5 points and 11.6 assists on efficient shooting. Haliburton had a few off games, but overall, he has been a consistent fantasy performer with at least 42 DraftKings points in each of his first ten outings. Facing the Hawks, who rank 24th in points allowed, Haliburton’s ceiling is exceptionally high. This game promises a ton of scoring opportunities.

More Top Plays

Joel Embiid (C – PHI):

• DraftKings: $11,200 – FanDuel: $12,000

Joel Embiid is thriving this season with an increase in usage and shot attempts in the absence of James Harden. He’s averaging over 60 DraftKings points per game since the start of the season. Facing the Cavs, Embiid has an excellent opportunity to shine, as he’s scored 61 or more DK points in half of his games this season.

Darius Garland (PG – CLE):

• DraftKings: $7,600 – FanDuel: $8,300

With Donovan Mitchell sidelined, Darius Garland becomes the primary playmaker for the Cavs, boasting a high usage rate. He’s averaging nearly 50 DraftKings points per game when Mitchell is out and is a strong value pick given his role and production.

Kevin Durant (PF – PHX):

• DraftKings: $10,000 – FanDuel: $10,200

Kevin Durant is the focal point of the Suns’ offense, especially with Bradley Beal sidelined. Durant has been consistently delivering with at least 49 DraftKings points in eight consecutive games, including a couple of outstanding performances with 65 and 72 DK points. Facing the 23rd-ranked Portland defense, Durant is poised for another strong outing.

LeBron James (SF/PF – LAL):

• DraftKings: $9,900 – FanDuel: $10,500

LeBron James continues to defy age with impressive performances, scoring at least 60 DraftKings points in three of his last four games. He’s the best player of our generation playing at the top of his game. Facing the Jazz, who rank poorly in points allowed and defensive efficiency, LeBron is an enticing option.
