Fantasy Basketball Picks –  MME Strategy and Player Pool for November 2nd.

Welcome to what will be a Daily Fantasy Basketball player pool and mass multi entry strategy for both Draftkings and FanDuel helping you find the best fantasy basketball picks.

There are a couple of different ways to approach NBA DFS MME – one way is to just put a few DFS NBA lineups in a bunch of tournaments, a strategy I do not recommend. The other is to be selective in the tournaments and enter those with the maximum lineups allowed. While everyone dreams of taking down a GPP with a life changing prize pool, my focus is on maximizing the number of entries that are competitive and finishing above the cash line and turning a profit on a more consistent basis. You will hear a lot about building a core group of Fantasy Basketball players and building your lines around it but with MME this is hardly the case.

The goal is to create a player pool of both low and high risk plays while limiting exposure to the high risk plays. Contest selection is key as well, for example you have better odds of putting 150 entries into a tournament with a field of 20000 entries  versus a contest that may have a higher prize pool but only allows 20 max entries in a field of 40000. Using the csv edit option on both sites is the easiest way to enter in all your lineups once you have generated and here are links on how to do this – Fanduel CSV  Draftkings CSV. With that being said, let’s get to our pool.

As always, we have injury news to attend to right off the bat. Donovan Mitchell is out for the Jazz as is Alec Burks. This opens up opportunity for Dante Exum to be a punt darling tonight. Ricky Rubio and Joe Ingles will see some extra minutes and have great value here, but someone needs to soak up the minutes left behind by Mitchell and that should be Exum. He is averaging just around 1 fantasy point per minute which combined with expected minutes in the mid 20’s and a near min salary on both sites boosts his value.

James Harden and James Ennis are both doubtful but I really have not seen an increase in production from anyone on the Rockets. Chris Paul cannot pay off his salary lately and is in fade territory. Maybe some Carmelo Anthony is fine here or Eric Gordon but that is as far as I’d go.

Devin Booker, who is tagged questionable,  is expected to play tonight for the first time in 3 games coming off a hamstring injury.  I am excited because not only is he fun to watch but in DFS world, should be moderately low owned. I will be pairing him and Ayton tonight and this duo could be in the winning lineup.

On the same subject of favorite duos tonight, we can’t overlook Zach Lavine and Wendell Carter Jr. The Bulls have just as good home numbers as Golden State and will be likely under-owned here with the name power on this slate.

I have no problem if you want to stack Lavine, Carter Jr.,  Booker,  and Ayton while filling it out from the pool below. My advice would be to add in Exum and or Rubio as well. The player pool below will be ranked into tiers – Elite level salary plays (basically our high-priced options), Mid level salary, and of course Value/Punts/Pivots.
