DraftKings NBA picks November 14: Beware the Kristaps!

There are six NBA games tonight, but The Cavs and Heat start two hours earlier than everyone else in Cleveland, so there are only five games for our main DraftKings NBA tournaments tonight. There are still a lot of stars and a lot of value on this slate. Let’s dive right in 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: Lonzo Ball (hip), Josh Hart (knee), Caris LeVert (thumb), Otto Porter (foot), Elfrid Payton (hamstring), Kevin Huerter (shoulder), Landry Shamet (ankle), Chandler Parsons (knee), Vince Carter (personal), Reggie Bullock (back), Khris Middleton (quad), Cristiano Felicio (wrist), Wilson Chandler (suspension), Kevin Durant (Achilles), Darius Miller (Achilles), Zion Williamson (knee), Deandre Ayton (suspension), John Collins (suspension), Ty Jerome (ankle), Evan Turner (Achilles).

Questionable: Kyrie Irving (shoulder), Paul George (shoulders), Brandon Ingram (knee), Zach LaVine (ankle), Mitch Robinson (concussion), Jahlil Okafor (ankle), Jerami Grant (finger), Kyle Korver (head), Jaxson Hayes (ribs), Kadeem Allen (knee), Malik Beasley (illness).

It has been a rough week for the main slates. I again cashed in the late slate to help make up for some of the losses, but Lillard and Doucher ruined what could have been a lineup on takedown alert.

Anyway, back to the main slate. I had a couple of solid all around lineups with no real high or low scorers, but 275.25 wasn’t getting it done. It took 302.25 just for minimum cash. Why? Westbrook picked up four fouls in eight minutes and Harden and chalk Rozier broke the slate. I had no exposure to either.

Nickelback4Lyfe, mazwa, and suprme all tied for the takedown with 380 points. They had Rozier and Harden along with Towns and VanVleet. How could they accomplish this? Huge value from Davis Bertans, Miles Bridges, Javale, and Kuzma.
