DraftKings NBA Picks November 1: Rocket Man
We have a nice slate with eight games for our DraftKings NBA tournaments tonight. This will be the last slate writeup I have for a while. It’s anniversary time, which means vacation time! I will be back here in my normal spot sometime around November 10th to carry you the rest of the way through the season. Until then, we still have plenty of NBA content and other goodies at FanSided Fantasy until I return.
The injury report is pretty big. It’s not so much the number of players, but who is on the list.
Out: Steph Curry(hand), Myles Turner(ankle), Marvin Bagley(thumb), Enes Kanter(knee), Elfrid Payton(hamstring), Reggie Jackson(back), Dejounte Murray(rest), Kevon Looney(hamstring), Rajon Rondo(calf), Dennis Smith(personal), Kadeem Allen(knee), Edmond Sumner(hand), Reggie Bullock(back), John Henson(hamstring), Mo Bamba(rest), Victor Oladipo(knee), Dylan Windler(leg), Ante Zizic(foot), Kevin Durant(Achilles), Nene(knee), Gerald Green(foot), Dante Exum(knee), Klay Thompson(knee), Jacob Evans(hip), Alen Smailgic(ankle), DeMarcus Cousins(knee).
Questionable: Anthony Davis(shoulder), Blake Griffin(hamstring), Derrick Rose(hamstring), Jaylen Brown(illness), Harry Giles(knee), Michael Frazier(ankle), Sekou Doumbouya(concussion), Talen Horton-Tucker(knee).
Davis practiced yesterday, so he should at least be able to play. How long is always a risk, but he dominated with the same issue a couple of nights ago. Griffin is travelling with the team, so he could return over the weekend at any time. Rose is likely just a precaution, but you never know.
Last night was a disaster just about any way you look at it. Jahlil Okafor dominated. Kenrich Williams had the worst game of his career, so that kept all of my lineups out of cash. However, two of them missed the cash line by one point or less. You couldn’t have plucked just one rebound Kenrich? Just one?
youdacao took it down with just 331.75 DraftKings points tonight. Some nights that wouldn’t even cash! He built with Kawhi, Butler, and Bam and got big value out of Okafor, Bembry, Nunn, and Jabari Parker.
