DraftKings NBA Picks October 30: To Beal or not to Beal
It’s another big day in the NBA with 11 games for our DraftKings NBA tournaments. As you would expect, there are a lot of stars out and some solid value to go with it. I’m here to try and take some guesswork out of the value. No teams are on a back to back tonight, so let’s check the injuries.
Out: Paul George(shoulders), Blake Griffin(hamstring), Marvin Bagley(thumb), Enes Kanter(knee), Zach Collins(shoulder), Reggie Jackson(back), Elfrid Payton(hamstring), Willie Cauley-Stein(foot), Nicolas Batum(finger), Reggie Bullock(back), C.J. Miles(foot), Nene(hip), Gerald Green(foot), Deandre Ayton(suspension), John Henson(hamstring), Wilson Chandler(suspension), Kevin Durant(achilles), Victor Oladipo(knee), Ian Mahinmi(achilles), John Wall(achilles), Jordan McRae(finger), Michael Frazier(ankle), Pau Gasol(foot), Jusuf Nurkic(leg), Klay Thompson(knee), Allen Smailagic(ankle), Ty Jerome(ankle), Shake Milton(knee), Dylan Windler(leg), Ante Zizic(foot).
Questionable: Steven Adams(bruised knee), Kevon Looney(hamstring), Daniel Theis(ankle), Dennis Smith(personal), Harry Giles(knee), Kadeem Allen(knee), Alec Burks(ankle), Edmond Sumner(hand), Romeo Langford(knee), Dante Exum(knee), Rodney McGruder(ankle), Amir Coffey(ankle), Andre Roberson(knee), Jacob Evans(adductor).
Once again I hit minimum cash with half my lineups last night. The cash line was by far the lowest of the season at 245.5 DraftKings points. My highest lineup was just 256.75. The blowout in the late game didn’t help. I hit with A.D. in all lineups, but missed on a ton of value. Jimmy Butler and LeBron were busts. So were DFS, Plumlee, Crowder, and basically anyone without a Miami uniform on.
whistler11 only got 333.75 DraftKings points, but that was enough to win 100k. He built around A.D., Bam, Will Barton, and Gary Harris. He too missed on Butler, but John Collins and Tyler Herro were huge.
