Top 5 DraftKings NBA DFS Picks Today

5. Anfernee Simons, Portland Trail Blazers

Simons is projected for 35 fantasy points. He’s in the optimal lineup 18% of the time and has been incredibly consistent, providing mid-30s in fantasy points every night, with the occasional monster game. With the absence of Jusuf Nurkic, there may be a little more scoring to go around for Simons, who is expected to get a lot of minutes in a competitive matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. At $6,800, his price is getting a little high, but if it drops a couple hundred dollars, he could be a great value pick.

4. Edmond Sumner, Brooklyn Nets

With the absence of Kyrie Irving and uncertainty around the statuses of Ben Simmons and Kevin Durant, Sumner is expected to start at point guard for the Brooklyn Nets. Priced at $4,500, he’s projected for 29 fantasy points. He’s in the optimal lineup 23% of the time and averages 0.9 fantasy points per minute, with 15 points, 3.5 boards, 3.5. assists and a steal and a half per game. Despite a tough matchup against the Clippers, Sumner could be a great value pick for those looking to save some salary cap.
