Top 5 FanDuel NBA DFS Picks Today

5. Bam Adebayo, Miami Heat

Bam Adebayo is an excellent FanDuel NBA DFS pick at a price of $7,900. He is projected for 44 points, with a goal of 46, and is in the optimal lineup 22% of the time. The matchup against Memphis is particularly favorable, as there is no Steven Adams or Brandon Clarke, providing Adebayo with a great opportunity for rebounds. He is projected to score 22 points on 25% usage, grab 11 boards, and provide three assists and two stocks. With a pace-up, competitive matchup against the Grizzlies, Adebayo is expected to finally have a big game after going through a dry spell.

4. Malik Beasley, Los Angeles Lakers

Beasley is projected for 26.5 fantasy points and is in the optimal lineup 23% of the time on FanDuel. He is priced at $4,900 and has big minutes to go around due to the absence of Anthony Davis. Beasley is averaging 16 points, 4.5 rebounds, two assists and a stock per game while playing 29 minutes per game. Despite his team’s record, he is in a great position to perform well due to a favorable matchup against Houston, who is known for its weak defense.

3. Tim Hardaway Jr., Dallas Mavericks

As a shooting guard and small forward for the Dallas Mavericks, Hardaway is $5,900 and projected to score 31 fantasy points, with an optimal lineup percentage of 24%. Despite being questionable due to a calf injury, he is expected to play at least 33 minutes. Hardaway is averaging 0.95 fantasy points per minute with no Luka Doncic playing. He has scored 19 points, five boards, three assists and a stock, making him a great option for the day. The San Antonio Spurs are a nice matchup for him, and if he can stay healthy and play, he could be one of the best plays of the day.

2. Rui Hachimura, Los Angeles Lakers

Hachimura is a power forward priced at $4,700 and is projected for 26 fantasy points, with an optimal lineup percentage of 26%. With no Davis on the Lakers, it is unclear what their center options will be, and it is possible that Hachimura will play at the five today. He is projected for 28 minutes and averages 0.9 fantasy points per minute. Hachimura faces off against the Houston Rockets, who have a fast pace but poor defense. He is projected to record 15.5 points, six boards, an assist and a stock. Although power forward may not be the most exciting designation, it should be easy for Hachimura to fill and he is an excellent point-per-dollar play for those looking for value.

1. Kyrie Irving, Dallas Mavericks

Irving is a point guard and shooting guard and is projected for 53 points, with a goal of 54.5. He is in the optimal lineup 27% of the time, and with no Doncic, he is expected to get a massive usage bump. Irving has been playing 37 minutes per game, and if he plays, he is expected to play a lot. He averages 1.4 fantasy points per minute, and in a dream scenario against the San Antonio Spurs, he could easily score 30 real points, 6.5 boards, eight assists, and a stock and a half. The only real downside would be if Irving plays only 28 minutes because Dallas dominates San Antonio.

Update: Kyrie Irving is doubtful.
