Top 5 FanDuel NBA DFS Picks Today

5. Gary Trent Jr., Toronto Raptors

Trent is a solid FanDuel NBA DFS pick due to the lack of value options available in the current slate. While his minutes have decreased lately, his price has also dropped to just $4,700, making him a good value play. He is projected for 22 goals and appears in the optimal lineup 33% of the time. Although he is mostly scoring dependent, he has a good matchup against the Thunder and could potentially shoot his way into more minutes. Trent projects for 14 points, 2.5 rebounds, one assist, and a stock and a half. As the slate opens up, he could fall a bit with the arrival of news, but right now he looks like a strong paydown option.

4. Isaiah Joe, Oklahoma City Thunder

Joe provides value with his low salary of $4,400. He is projected for 20.5 points and is in the optimal lineup 35% of the time. Although he is mostly scoring dependent and has a tough matchup, he has played 26 minutes per game and averages 0.8 fantasy points per minute.

Barnes is a small forward and power forward with a projection of 26 fantasy points, goal of 31, and he is in the optimal lineup 42% of the time.

Okogie is a shooting guard and small forward projected for 26 points and valued at $5,100. His goal is 30 points, and he is in the optimal lineup 51% of the time. He plays more than 30 minutes per game, and the Orlando Magic team he is playing against is not known for its defense.
