Welcome to the NBA DFS Triple Threat here at Paydirt! This is going to be a daily article aimed at giving thoughts on three important aspects of the NBA DFS slate. We will talk through the most popular players on the slate, popular roster construction, and potential pivots and leverage spots. This article is best used with the projections models here at Paydirt (Found here), but it will still be valuable even as a one off piece of content. While the focus is on Draftkings, the content is applicable to Fanduel as well. Costs, Projections, and finishing percentiles format will be Draftkings/Fanduel.

Main Points

• The highest-owned players for tonight's games are projected to be Josh Giddey, Jalen Williams, Donte DiVincenzo, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and Cason Wallace. Notably, Shai Glizzy is out for OKC. Additionally, AD (LAL) and Dejounte Murray (ATL) are both questionable and legitimate rest candidates.
• A popular roster construction tonight will likely include 2 value players complemented by 5 mid-range players and 1 star. Ownership on the high end is concentrated on AD (LeBron if AD sits) and Anthony Edwards. Based on this, spending up on Jalen Brunson or Tyrese Haliburton seems like a good option on the high end.
• Players such as Brandon Miller, Myles Turner, and Greg Jackson are intriguing GPP plays. Additionally, value plays such as Richaun Holmes, Brandon Podziemski, and Andre Drummond look like potential pivot opportunities.

Depending on the size of the slate, there may be multiple situations, value plays, and popular options that you need to consider. Join the Paydirt discord with this link for more updates and game theory on all the slates details: https://discord.gg/mQ6u5dfawF

This core of players will help you build in differentiation in your lineups. These players are meant to be mixed in with some of the stronger chalk options. How many of these players you put in is  dependent on the size of the field and personal risk tolerance.

NBA DFS Final Thoughts

The popular build tonight is going to be focused on a core of Knicks/Hawks/Thunder. Thankfully, this makes it easy to get different tonight. One option is to focus on teams/games going over-looked like IND/CHI, or the Houston side of the HOU/OKC game. Additionally, you can leverage the chalk teams by playing lesser-owned options like Clint Capela, Vit Krejci, or Isaiah Hartenstein. The Paydirt models are heavy on POR/OKC/ATL as spots to target with secondary exposure to the Nets and Magic. Good luck and let's bake some bread!

The popular build tonight is going to be focused on a core of Sasser/Metu/Collins with a couple of Knicks. Thankfully, this makes it easy to get different tonight.

Additionally, you can leverage the chalk teams by playing lesser-owned options like Jaden Ivey, James Wiseman, or Isaiah Hartenstein. The Paydirt models are heavy on NYK/BKN as spots to target with secondary exposure to the Blazers and Pistons. Good luck and let's bake some bread!

NBA DFS Final Thoughts

The popular build tonight is going to be focused on a core of Raptors value with Payton Pritchard and Anthony Davis. Thankfully, this makes it easy to get different tonight. One option is to simply fade chalk Raptors as many of them are middling to poor fantasy point-per-minute producers which caps their ceiling. Additionally, you can leverage these chalk teams by playing lesser-owned options like Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser, or LeBron. The Paydirt models are heavy on TOR/MEM/IND as spots to target with secondary exposure to the Celtics and Thunder. Good luck and let's bake some bread!

NBA DFS Final Thoughts

The popular build tonight is going to be focused on a value core of Grizzlies/Duop Reath paired with a couple $7k guys and 2 stars. Thankfully, this makes it easy to get different tonight. While you can opt to forgo the Memphis value they do project strongly. However, you can leverage the chalk build by playing lesser-owned options like Steph Curry and Pascal Siakam. Additionally, you can opt to spend all the way up to Luka. The Paydirt models are heavy on MEM/POR/CLE as spots to target with secondary exposure to the Wolves and Warriors. Good luck and let's bake some bread!
