NBA DraftKings & FanDuel DFS Primer

NBA DFS Core Plays

Victor Wembanyama (C – SAS)

  • DraftKings: $10,900
  • FanDuel: $11,400

Victor Wembanyama erupted for a monster performance on Monday, showcasing his incredible potential with 34 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks. This dominant showing was a glimpse of his sky-high ceiling and a reminder of why he was the most hyped prospect in recent memory. He can impact the game in every facet, and tonight’s matchup provides another opportunity for him to shine.

Wembanyama faces the Washington Wizards, a team that has struggled mightily against opposing centers this season. They allow the third-most rebounds and sixth-most points per game to the position, making this a great matchup for the young phenom. He’s worth building your lineups around and has the potential to be the highest-scoring player on the slate.

Devin Booker (PG/SG – PHX)

  • DraftKings: $9,400
  • FanDuel: $8,700

Devin Booker is poised to carry the Suns’ offense with Kevin Durant sidelined and Bradley Beal’s status uncertain. He’ll be the primary scoring option, leading to increased usage and opportunities to rack up fantasy points. Booker has already shown willingness to shoulder the offensive load, attempting a combined 44 field goals in the two games Durant has missed.

Expect Booker to continue his aggressive approach tonight against the Sacramento Kings. He’s a dynamic scorer with a diverse offensive arsenal, capable of creating his own shot and getting to the free-throw line. With the Suns relying heavily on his scoring prowess, Booker is a top-tier option with the potential to deliver a huge performance.

  • FanDuel: $8,300

Franz Wagner has been on an absolute tear recently, showcasing his offensive prowess and all-around game. Over his last seven games, he’s commanded a 32.6% usage rate, highlighting his importance to the Magic’s attack. This has translated to impressive averages of 23.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.4 assists, demonstrating his ability to contribute across multiple categories.

Tonight, he faces the Indiana Pacers, a team that ranks 27th in defensive rating. Their poor defense should allow Wagner to continue his hot streak.

  • DraftKings: $5,700
  • FanDuel: $6,800

Anunoby’s ability to score efficiently and contribute in other areas makes him a valuable asset.

Tonight, he faces the Chicago Bulls, a team that ranks 28th in defensive rating this month. This vulnerability should allow Anunoby to attack the basket and continue his hot shooting streak. With his consistent 37.2 minutes per game, he’ll be on the court enough to rack up points and contribute across the board.

NBA DFS GPP Targets

Alperen Sengun (C – HOU)

  • DraftKings: $8,100
  • FanDuel: $8,100

Alperen Sengun is a rising star with immense potential. He possesses a unique skill set for his size, impressive passing ability, soft touch around the rim and a knack for creating scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates. Şengün’s all-around game makes him a consistent threat for a double-double.

Tonight, Sengun faces a Los Angeles Clippers team that has struggled against opposing centers this season. The Clippers have allowed the third-most fantasy points to the position, suggesting a favorable matchup for the young center. Expect Şengün to exploit this weakness and contribute with points, rebounds and assists. He’s a high-upside option with the potential to deliver a big performance against this vulnerable defense.

Evan Mobley (PF/SF – CLE)

  • DraftKings: $7,800
  • FanDuel: $8,200

Evan Mobley is a rising star in the NBA, and with Jarrett Allen likely sidelined tonight, he has a prime opportunity to showcase his full potential. Mobley possesses a unique blend of size, athleticism and skill, allowing him to impact the game on both ends of the floor. Expect him to be more assertive offensively, taking on a larger scoring role and showcasing his versatile skillset.

The matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers is particularly intriguing, as they are playing on zero days rest. This could lead to fatigue and potential lineup changes for the 76ers, creating further opportunities for Mobley to exploit. With his expanded role and a potentially vulnerable opponent, Mobley is a high-upside DFS option with the potential to deliver a monster performance.

Moritz Wagner (PF/C – ORL)

  • DraftKings: $4,600
  • FanDuel: $5,000

With Wendell Carter Jr. still sidelined, Moritz Wagner remains a valuable fantasy asset for the Orlando Magic. He’s seen a significant increase in playing time, averaging 21.1 minutes per game and has made the most of it by contributing 14 points and 4.9 rebounds. Wagner’s ability to stretch the floor with his shooting and provide energy on the boards makes him a valuable contributor in the frontcourt.

What’s even more encouraging is that Wagner has been outplaying Goga Bitadze recently, earning more minutes in the Magic’s last two games. This suggests that he’s gaining the coaching staff’s trust and solidifying his rotation role. Against the Indiana Pacers, who have shown some defensive vulnerabilities, Wagner has the potential to continue his strong play and provide excellent value. He’s a player to keep an eye on as long as Carter Jr. remains out.

NBA DFS Value Plays

Jaylen Nowell (PG/SG – NOH)

  • DraftKings: $3,400
  • FanDuel: $4,000

Jaylen Nowell is a name to watch closely tonight, as the New Orleans Pelicans are dealing with multiple injuries at the guard position. While he may not crack the starting lineup, Nowell is poised for a significant role and should see plenty of minutes off the bench. In his last game against the Brooklyn Nets, he played 22 minutes and showcased his ability to contribute with 11 points and 6 assists. This performance highlights his potential to provide valuable production when given the opportunity.

Neemias Queta (C – BOS)

  • DraftKings: $4,500
  • FanDuel: $4,600

Neemias Queta could be in line for a significant role tonight with Al Horford potentially sidelined due to a toe injury and the Boston Celtics playing on zero days rest. This scenario sets up perfectly for Queta to see extended minutes against a vulnerable Brooklyn Nets team. The Nets have struggled to contain opposing centers this season, allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to the position.

This is a prime opportunity for Queta to showcase his skills and contribute with points, rebounds and blocks. He’s shown flashes of potential when given the chance, and with increased playing time against a favorable matchup, Queta becomes an intriguing DFS option. Keep a close eye on the injury report, but if Horford is ruled out, Queta could provide excellent value.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker (PG/SG – MIN)

  • DraftKings: $3,400
  • FanDuel: $4,700

Nickeil Alexander-Walker has carved out a valuable role in the Minnesota Timberwolves’ rotation, providing consistent production off the bench. He’s averaging 24.4 minutes per game this month and has shown his ability to contribute on both sides of the ball. This consistent playing time has translated to solid fantasy production, with Alexander-Walker exceeding 22 DraftKings points in two of his last three contests.

Tonight, he faces a Portland Trail Blazers team that has struggled defensively this month, ranking 23rd in defensive efficiency. This vulnerability should provide Alexander-Walker with ample opportunities to score and contribute.
