DraftKings NBA picks November 13: Beware sitting stars

We have a strong seven game Wednesday for our DraftKings NBA tournaments. The Rockets are back in action, meaning we need to find value somewhere to try and afford Russ and/or Harden. Let’s start with the injury report.

The injury report is pretty big. It’s not so much the number of players, but who is on the list.

Out: Kyle Lowry (thumb), Serge Ibaka (ankle), OG Anunoby (eye), Daniel Theis (finger), Zach Collins (shoulder), Danuel House (back), Nicolas Batum (finger), Damion Lee (hand), Eric Gordon (knee), Rajon Rondo (rest), Shabazz Napier (hamstring), Landry Shamet (ankle), Omari Spellman (ankle), Pau Gasol (foot), Jusuf Nurkic (leg), Patrick McCaw (knee), Nene (hip), Gerald Green (foot), Andre Iguodala (personal), Grayson Allen (ankle), Gordon Hayward (hand), Ian Mahinmi (Achilles), John Wall (Achilles), Kevon Looney (hamstring), DeMarcus Cousins (knee), Steph Curry (hand), Klay Thompson (knee), Jacob Evans (hip), Alen Smailagic (ankle).

Questionable: Anthony Davis (shoulder), Paul George (shoulders), Hassan Whiteside (foot), Jeff Teague (illness), Troy Daniels (knee), Jordan Bell (shoulder), Melvin Frazier (personal).

I’m guessing that Davis is going to rest tonight after playing last night. His shoulder doesn’t look right. There’s also a chance that the Lakers elect to rest LeBron too. They may not need either of them against the depleted Warriors. It wouldn’t be a shock for Whiteside to rest in a back to back with his ailing foot either.

Portis hates the Bulls, but that hatred is nothing compared to the hatred I feel for Fizdale right now. Robinson was out. Portis destroyed the Bulls earlier this year. And that jackass plays him only 16 minutes. That destroyed all of my all night lineups. I did get a little of it back in the late night, but not enough to avoid a loss. My best score of 262.75 was 20 off of the cash line.

bohunk01 took it down with 360.25, which was almost eight points ahead of second place. That was no cheapie! He built with Trae and Jokic, and got huge value out of Bogdan Bogdanovic and T.J. Warren, Nuggets guards, Nunn, and Bjelica. I moved off of both Bogdan and T.J. Lesson learned, I guess.
