DraftKings NBA picks November 25: What’s new pussyKAT?
I’m going to try to celebrate my mom’s 60th birthday with a takedown on this massive 11 game DraftKings NBA slate. As you may expect, this one is loaded. Identifying top value and which stars to pay for will separate us from the pack. 6x value likely wont even cash tonight. We’re looking for ceiling games all around.
Just because someone isn’t listed doesn’t mean that they aren’t a good play. It just means that I’m being choosy with so many good options out there across the board.
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), D’Angelo Russell (thumb), Kyle Lowry (thumb), Marvin Bagley (thumb), Khris Middleton (quad), Kemba Walker (concussion), Justise Winslow (concussion), Aaron Gordon (ankle), Caris LeVert (thumb), Otto Porter (foot), Serge Ibaka (ankle), Kevin Huerter (shoulder), Jake Layman (toe), Reggie Jackson (back), Dion Waiters (persona non grata), Avery Bradley (leg), Damion Lee (hand), Zach Collins (shoulder), Jusuf Nurkic (leg), Hamidou Diallo (elbow), Shabazz Napier (hamstring), John Collins (suspension), De’Aaron Fox (ankle), Trevor Ariza (groin), Nikola Vucevic (ankle), Stanley Johnson (groin), Patrick McCaw (knee), Dewan Hernandez (thumb), Derrick Jones (hip), KZ Okpala (Achilles), Ed Davis (leg), Victor Oladipo (knee), Edmond Sumner (hand), Andre Iguodala (personal), Gordon Hayward (hand), Romeo Langford (knee), Luke Kornet (nose), Cristiano Felicio (wrist), Steph Curry (hand), Klay Thompson (knee), DeMarcus Cousins (knee), Kevin Looney (hamstring), Jacob Evans (hip), Alen Smailagic (ankle), Tony Snell (hip), Khyri Thomas (foot), Michael Carter-Williams (hip), John Henson (hamstring), Wilson Chandler (suspension), Kevin Durant (Achilles).
Questionable: Rudy Gobert (ankle), Kevin Love (back), Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring), Draymond Green (heel), Nerlens Noel (illness), Josh Okogie (knee), Cam Reddish (wrist), Furkan Korkmaz (ankle), Gary Trent (hamstring), Ersan Ilyasova (heel), Kyle O’Quinn (calf), Alex Caruso (calf), Treveon Graham (forearm), Jakarr Sampson (back), Marko Guduric (knee), Andre Roberson (knee), Dylan Windler (leg).
Bogdan played a solid game yesterday, so I would assume that he’ll be out there again today. Everyone else we will just have to wait and see.
I won a little bit in the early showdown by running McLemore at captain. The night lineup not only game up empty, but didn’t even clear 200 points. Beverley was the only guy that didn’t outright suck. Another terrible game from Jokic has me laying off of him for a good long while.
It only took329.75 for jessbart21 to take this down, and that was a whopping 14.75 DraftKings points ahead of second place. It was a balanced build with Dinwiddie, Barton, Hield, Prince, Montrezl, Beverley, Ingram, and Dario Saric for huge value.
