NBA Daily Fantasy Schedule, Projections and Simulations for Oct 31.
The key to winning a GPP on any given NBA slate is finding players who hit 7x or better over their value. If Lebron is $11,000 he would need to reach 77 Fanduel or Draftkings points. Like wise a player like Carmelo Anthony who is valued at $5,000 would need to reach 35. The strategy to win a contest is to reach 350 points, thats around the average winning margin to take down a contest. That means we need to take some risk on the $4,000 level and have at least two players around this salary, allowing us 6 roster spots at an average of $7,000. We can no longer just rely on the best matchups, much like sports betting we need to find the right value in order to maximize opportunity. This might mean picking my best 6 on matchups and analytics and entering a contest multiple times with different options at the $4,000 benchmark. Dive in daily HERE!
Superstar to Pay up for – Stephen Curry – The two highest scoring teams in the NBA do battle when the Pelicans head to Golden State in a Fantasy matchup of the beasts. Both teams are playing a record pace and with the over/under at 238, its a great game to stack your Daily Fantasy NBA lineups. Curry is on an MVP run so far this season and could easily go for 50+ tonight at home.
Sleeper Pickup – Lonzo Ball – I don’t expect Lonzo to be highly owned tonight, with the Media drawing scrutiny over him and Rajon Rondo in who is the better fit. Coach Luke Walton was very clear Lonzo will start tonight and after coming off a poor performance he cements his spot in the starting 5 with a big night over Dallas at home. He is one of the few Lakers earning your Daily Fantasy Lineups points on both ends of the floor.
