NBA Preseason DFS: Core Plays
Nikola Vucevic
Vuc is a fantasy monster on a per-minute basis and while it’s hard to trust coach-speak, we have “extensive minutes” coming for him tonight. He’s my favorite center on the board on a point-per-dollar basis considering he’s a good bit cheaper than KAT.
Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo
Herro and Bam have been great all preseason long so I am going to keep riding them tonight as long as they’re in the lineup. They both got priced up a bit on Draftkings, but FanDuel continues to leave their prices alone and makes them easy to fit into lineups. If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it!
Zach LaVine and Lauri Markannen
Assuming that the Bulls starters get some decent run tonight, I want several of them in all my lineups in that juicy matchup with Atlanta. LaVine and Markannen are the two primary options on offense and the guys with the highest ceilings. Both are affordable and easy to fit into lineups, too.
Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis
My fingers are crossed that Rick Carlisle lets his young, European superstars play tonight. They’re some of the most reliable fantasy players on this slate and can both make value in 20-25 minutes easily with solid ceilings, too. They are great stacking mates as they have correlated really well thus far in their limited time together.
