NBA DFS Building Blocks Today: Monday, November 7

Core Play of the Day — Giannis Antetokounmpo: Milwaukee Bucks-Atlanta Hawks

  • Stokastic’s Preliminary Point Projections: DraftKings: 62.65 | FanDuel: 60.91
  • Stokastic’s Preliminary Rostered Projections: DraftKings: 6.6% | FanDuel: 25.2%
  • DFS Salary: DraftKings: $12,600 | FanDuel: $11,600

Monday is going to be a wild and chaotic day with every team in action and games tipping off every 15 minutes. The Association is taking tomorrow off as part of their promotion to encourage people to vote in the midterm elections.

Value will be plentiful and we are looking at an extreme stars and scrubs roster construction. While it will be prudent to maintain flexibility for later in the evening, there is something to be said for locking in Giannis Antetokounmpo in the sixth game of the slate.

Milwaukee is the last undefeated team in the league and they are looking to win their tenth game of the season tonight. On Saturday, Antetokounmpo go the night off while Brook Lopez, Bobby Portis and Jrue Holiday took care of business against the Thunder.

Currently Antetokounmpo is averaging a career high 21.3 field goal attempts per game, while also recording 12.9 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2.5 combined blocks and steals. This works out to 62 fantasy points per game and an otherworldly 1.85 fantasy points per minute. Atlanta is playing at a top five pace with a mediocre 110.0 defensive efficiency rating. Enjoy!

LeBron James: Los Angeles Lakers-Utah Jazz

  • Stokastic’s Preliminary Point Projections: DraftKings: 52.88 | FanDuel: 50.9
  • Stokastic’s Preliminary Rostered Projections: DraftKings: 2.5% | FanDuel: 8.9%
  • DFS Salary: DraftKings: $10,700 | FanDuel: $10,100

This is a back-to-back for both the Lakers and Jazz who played in Los Angeles yesterday. LeBron James was unable to hold off the Cavaliers on Sunday afternoon as the Lakers fell apart in the second half managing to score only 36 points. Utah pulled off a gritty win against the Clippers in the final game of the night. The Jazz crushed the Lakers 130-116 on Friday, so we know this matchup has a lot of fantasy potential tonight.

Patrick Beverley (illness) was out yesterday and will also miss tonight’s matchup. Russell Westbrook still came off the bench, with Kendrick Nunn getting the start. James of course is the de facto point guard whenever he is on the court and he should flirt with a triple-double as long as he sees his usual mid-to-upper-30s in minutes. Nunn is a reasonable value option as he is at the minimum salary on both DraftKings ($3,000) and FanDuel ($3,500). UPDATE: LeBron is out with a foot issue, pivot to Anthony Davis who is probable tonight and Westbrook also is in play off the bench. There are better values on the full-slate that surpass the likes of Troy Brown Jr. and Austin Reaves. Those forwards are viable on the late-slate.

Stephen Curry: Golden State Warriors-Sacramento Kings

  • Stokastic’s Preliminary Point Projections: DraftKings: 49.31 | FanDuel: 46.29
  • Stokastic’s Preliminary Rostered Projections: DraftKings: 5.4% | FanDuel: 2.1%
  • DFS Salary: DraftKings: $9,900 | FanDuel: $10,100

Golden State lost the first four games of their East Coast swing and that led to coach Steve Kerr giving his core players the fifth game off, which the Warriors also lost. Three of the losses were to shorthanded teams in Charlotte, Detroit and Orlando.

Stephen Curry is having a renaissance season with a career high 50.6 fantasy points per game. Most impressive is his 7.0 rebounds per game which will of course start to regress back towards the 5.5 he has averaged over the last few seasons. Golden State plays at the fastest pace in the league with Sacramento not too far behind. These squads are among the five worst defensive teams, so we should see some pinball scoring tonight. Klay Thompson and Kevon Looney are excellent late-slate targets as are De’Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis and Kevin Huerter from the Kings.

Additional NBA DFS Picks Today – Sports Wagering Opportunities

Kevin Porter Jr. has a 4.5 over/under rebound prop for his matchup against the Magic tonight. The Stokastic NBA player projections have him for 6.4 rebounds which works out to a 77% win rate. Porter has corralled at least five rebounds in every game this season, making this a desirable stand along bet or as part of a parlay.

New York Knicks-Minnesota Timberwolves

Mitchell Robinson (knee) is going to miss at least 10 days which provides Isaiah Hartenstein a secure path to 30-plus minutes per game. The matchup against Minnesota is a favorable one with Rudy Gobert in the health and safety protocols. Both the Knicks and Timberwolves are playing at a top-10 pace through the first few weeks of the season and this game has a stellar 234.5 point total which should lead to good things for Julius Randle, Jalen Brunson and RJ Barrett.

Karl-Anthony Towns sees an uptick in rebounds when Gobert is off the court and more importantly he has power forward eligibility which keeps our center slot available for better point per dollar options. Anthony Edwards has been outstanding this season and he is posting career highs with 22.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists. Kyle Anderson is also intriguing as he drew a start on Saturday in place of Gobert and played a season high 31 minutes with 35 fantasy points.
