NBA DFS Picks and Pivots – Saturday, October 26
Welcome to the Saturday edition of NBA DFS Picks and Pivots, a fantasy basketball column focused on helping you find the best core lineup for this slate of DFS action!
For those of you finding us for the first time, the concept behind NBA DFS Picks and Pivots is to give you a first look at the day’s NBA DFS slate, including our top picks, plays and pivots, using FantasyDraft pricing as a reference to help you build your best fantasy baseball line-up and win big.
Picks and Pivots is not a simple “best plays” column but rather it focuses on slate strategy and roster construction to help give you insight into how I will look to play this slate. The goal of this article is to dig through the slate, highlight our top plays and help you identify the best slate strategy across your NBA DFS line-ups.

Friday night’s NBA DFS scores were back to their early-season highs as double-up cash lines were set at 320 fantasy points with the minimum cash in the $25 GPP on FantasyDraft was at 335 with the top score taking down 380.
The high scores were in large part due to Karl-Anthony Towns 80+ fantasy points night as one of the chalkiest plays on the slate, at over 60% in the $25 GPP on FantasyDraft and in the winning GPP lineup that went Stars and Scrubs, he was plugged in alongside stars like Luka, Dame and Joker by using punt plays like Baynes, Theis and Holmes to make the build work.
Without further ado, let’s get into today’s slate!
