In case you’ve had enough of Sunday afternoon football, the NBA offers us a six-game slate beginning at 6 p.m. ET on both DraftKings and FanDuel. Using our tools, let’s take a look at the player pool to discuss the top NBA DFS building blocks today for DraftKings and FanDuel lineups. Be sure to check out the Stokastic NBA DFS & Fantasy Basketball home page, where you can find fantasy basketball picks and analysis for each slate of games.
NBA DFS Building Blocks Today: Sunday, December 11
Core Play of the Day — Bogdan Bogdanovic: Chicago Bulls-Atlanta Hawks
- Stokastic’s Preliminary Point Projections: DraftKings: 30.86 | FanDuel: 29.37
- Stokastic’s Preliminary Rostered Projections: DraftKings: 47.10% | FanDuel: 60.50%
- DFS Salary: DraftKings: $4,800 | FanDuel: $5,000
Arguably the top overall play on the slate, Bogdan Bogdanovic is a clear core building block for lineups tonight. After missing Atlanta’s first 22 games of the season, Bogdanovic struggled in his first three games back, but turned things around entirely on Friday, putting up 13 points in the second quarter alone and shooting an ultra-efficient 7-for-9 from behind the 3-point line to net a season high 31 points.
After averaging 23 minutes in his first three games back, Bogdanovic played 34 minutes on Friday and it’s likely his minutes restriction has been lifted now that he’s shown he’s capable of producing while handling a heavy workload. At only $4,900 on DraftKings and $5,000 on FanDuel, Bogdanovic is way too cheap on both sites and he’s the prototypical cog in the machine in both cash games and GPP’s.
Additional NBA DFS Building Blocks Picks Today – Sports Wagering Opportunities
Tonight Jrue Holiday has a 1.5 over/under line on his 3-pointers prop for his matchup against the Rockets. Stokastic’s NBA DFS projections have him for 2.24 3-pointers and a 61% likelihood that he reaches this threshold. These types of wagers with a high likelihood of success but a lower payout upside are best used as a leg in a straight or same-game parlay.

Sacramento Kings-New York Knicks
In potentially the game of the night for NBA DFS, there is a lot to like on both Sacramento and New York tonight. For the Kings, De’Aaron Fox is questionable after missing Friday’s game against the Cavs. If Fox remains sidelined, everyone else on Sacramento becomes more viable, with Davion Mitchell emerging as one of the top value plays on the slate at $3,800. Terence Davis would also see a boost, but he remains questionable after missing the past three games with back soreness.
For New York, Obi Toppin remains out, but other than that the Knicks appear to be healthy. In a great spot against the Kings, there is plenty to like on New York tonight, despite increasing price tags across both sites. Julius Randle remains an elite play on both DraftKings and FanDuel, and Toppin being out only helps his minutes upside. Everyone on New York, who gets playing time is in play on this slate, with Randle and Jalen Brunson among the top priorities.
Final Thoughts on NBA DFS Picks Today
There are only 12 teams in action tonight, so while there will be news rolling in throughout the day, it should be easy enough to handle.
