NBA DraftKings & FanDuel DFS Primer: Monday (11/28)

PREMIUM

We’ve had some wild slates over the last few weeks, and this is yet another one. While we do have 10 games in total, we have a ton of teams playing a back-to-back set. Atlanta, Brooklyn, Boston, Cleveland, Indiana, Minnesota, Orlando, Philadelphia, and Washington are all playing the second half of a B2B set. That’s going to cause chaos close to the opening tip, and there’ll surely be numerous players rested in this spot. Just be sure to keep an eye on injury reports up until 7ET!

Core Plays

LeBron James (SF/PF- LAL): $10,900 DraftKings, $10,200 FanDuel
LeBron just returned from an adductor issue over the weekend, and he came back with a bang. The best player over the last 20 years scored 64.3 DraftKings points in his most recent gem, putting his season average north of 50 fantasy points per game. His floor is fantastic, too, scoring at least 40 DK points every game this season. We’re not worried about him facing a 21st-ranked Indiana defense, with LBJ sporting a 60-point average against them in their two meetings last season.
