Welcome to November! The holiday season is ramping up quickly and the gifts are being bought. What a amazing slate we have for today. I hope everyone cleared their schedules because we have NBA games on all day…I mean all day. Every NBA team is playing today. 

On DraftKings, we have an eight-game slate. Normal sized slate. Now onto FanDuel, we have a massive fifteen-game slate. You heard that right.

 

 

 

To take a peek on the slate yesterday, the Detroit Pistons earned their second win of the season against the Brooklyn Nets. It was a balanced effort including Malik Beasley scoring 18 real life points igniting the bench unit. 

The short handed New Orleans Pelicans couldn't not get the win against the Atlanta Hawks led by their leading scorer in Jalen Johnson. Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks stomped on the Orlando Magic without their star player in Paolo Banchero.

Flip the screen from Monday Night Football and turn on some basketball! Time to look at the monster of a slate we have on both DraftKings and Fanduel for Monday, November 4th.

Before actually diving into the meat and potatoes, welcome to the NBA DFS season. 

If this is your first time reading our column on NBA DFS picks, I just want to welcome you and give you a few tips and tricks on what you should be looking for each night.

  • News outlets: reliable sources that give us injury news & starting lineups
  • Pace of play: who's playing fast vs. who's playing slow. Which teams get a pace-up spot (more possessions) vs. pace-down (fewer possessions)
  • Usage rates: is a percentage of how many plays that player is being used in
  • NBA DFS Projections
  • Lineup Generator
  • NBA Ownership

 

 


Pre-Lock Update

This section will be used for anything that changes from the morning until right up to roster lock. Injury updates, players we’re higher on than we were in the morning and so much more.

We have a ton of big news we need to watch for throughout the day. Giannis Antetokounmpo being questionable will tilt some of the slate. Jaylen Brown being out opens up minutes for Payton Pritchard. Jordan Clarkson is playing impactful minutes and those minutes will trend towards Collin Sexton.

In regards to the Fanduel slate, Joel Embiid is out for injury management. Paul George is questionable and should be playing. The minutes will be key for him and I am expecting him to be limited in terms of minutes.  Jamal Murray being out opens up minutes for Russell Westbrook. 

Stay tuned for more injury news!
