DraftKings NBA picks November 16: King James II

There are eight games on Saturday in the Association, but Brooklyn and Chicago tip an hour earlier than everyone else leaving seven games for our main DraftKings NBA tournaments. We already know of some resting stars, so there’s plenty of value to try and use Harden and Luka in the same lineup. Enough with the foreshadowing, let’s get to this!

It’s a huge list tonight that may only get bigger with “load management” and such.

Out: Russell Westbrook (rest), Clint Capela (concussion), Kyle Lowry (thumb), Jeremy Lamb (ankle), Justise Winslow (concussion), Josh Hart (knee), Serge Ibaka (ankle), Dejounte Murray (rest), Nicolas Batum (finger), Kevin Huerter (shoulder), Dion Waiters (suspension), Eric Gordon (knee), Landry Shamet (ankle), Derrick Jones (hip), Vince Carter (personal), Reggie Bullock (back), Nene (hip), Gerald Green (foot), John Collins (suspension), KZ Okpala (Achilles), Darius Miller (Achilles), Zion Williamson (knee), Khris Middleton (quad), Victor Oladipo (knee), Edmond Sumner (hand), Zach Collins (shoulder), Jusuf Nurkic (leg), Patrick McCaw (knee).

Questionable: Kawhi Leonard (knee), Andrew Wiggins (personal), Brandon Ingram (knee), Malcolm Brogdon (back), Myles Turner (ankle), Lonzo Ball (hip), JJ Redick (toe), Patrick Beverley (calf), Elfrid Payton (hamstring), Danuel House (back), Jahlil Okafor (ankle), Shabazz Napier (hamstring), Dwayne Bacon (knee), Kadeem Allen (knee), Evan Turner (Achilles), Pau Gasol (foot).

Chandler Parsons is scheduled to make his debut tonight, but I would bet that the minutes limit will be too low for us to seriously consider him, especially against a defense like the Clippers.

I cashed with one of my two lineups last night. I stacked the wrong side of the Washington/Minnesota tilt and had no exposure to the overtime game. However, I did have Harden, Towns, and nailed value with Aminu.

R3k5hop420 and eldboy split the takedown with 354.75 DraftKings points last night. I thought it would be much higher considering that Harden scored over 70 again. They built with Beal, Towns, and Donovan Mitchell and also got big Magic/Timberwolves value with Draymond. I was only two players off from a takedown. I hope that means good things are on the way.
