On Sunday, November 10th, we have a seven-game NBA DFS Main slate on DraftKings and FanDuel. We have just one team on the second leg of a back-to-back with the Toronto Raptors. We're awaiting major news, as Luka Doncic is listed as questionable due to a groin injury that clearly bothered him during the Mavericks' last game against the Suns.

 

 

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.
