DraftKings NBA picks November 24: Niiiiii-kola!
There are five games on our Sunday in the NBA, but the DraftKings NBA slates are chopped. The I-45 battle between Dallas and Houston tips a couple hours before the rest of the games, so that one has its own DraftKings NBA showdown slate. The other four games make up the DraftKings NBA main slate that starts an hour earlier than normal at 6pm eastern.
There are only a couple of injuries to worry about in the DraftKings NBA showdown slate. Let’s cover those quick.
Danuel House (questionable-shoulder), Eric Gordon (out-knee), Seth Curry (illness-probable), Nene (out-hip), Gerald Green (foot-out)
The main slate is littered with injuries as it has been with most DraftKings NBA slates so far this year. Let’s check those out to find some value.
Out: Kyrie Irving (shoulder), Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring), Marvin Bagley (thumb), Derrick Favors (back), Caris LeVert (thumb), Elfrid Payton (hamstring), Josh Hart (knee), Ian Mahinmi (Achilles), John Wall (Achilles), Darius Miller (Achilles), Zion Williamson (knee), Deandre Ayton (suspension), Trevor Ariza (groin), De’Aaron Fox (ankle), Reggie Bullock (back), Wilson Chandler (suspension), Kevin Durant (Achilles), Bol Bol (foot), Ty Jerome (ankle).
Questionable: Ricky Rubio (back) Troy Brown (illness), Aron Baynes (hip), Jahlil Okafor (ankle), Vince Carter (personal), Landry Shamet (ankle).
Cory Joseph is expected to play, and with Bogdan doubtful, that could be a big development. Shamet is probalby closer to doubtful since he just shed his crutches yesterday.
Last night I hit with Jonathan Isaac, Nance, and Mo Bamba value, but Skal and Malik Monk ruined my lineup. A subpar game by Giannis made sure I was far short of the money line of 280 DraftKings points.
goudsaab took it down with 350 points. The balanced build worked here too with a huge game from LaVine, Siakam, and Mitchell to go with FVV, Tristan Thompson, Wendell Carter, Marvin Williams, and Tony Bradley value.
