NBA DraftKings & FanDuel DFS Primer: Saturday (1/28)

PREMIUM

After a relatively quiet Friday night in DFS, Saturday presents us with a full nine-game main slate, and even some afternoon action! The big news is that Luka Doncic is already out, so there will be some big fallout from that when building DFS lineups. Follow me on twitter @jac3600 for all things DFS!

Let’s take a look at the best plays for today’s NBA contests.

TOP PLAY

Jayson Tatum, BOS ($11,100 DK/$11,200 FD)

There are several enticing plays at the top, but Jayson Tatum takes the cake as the premier spend-up option tonight. Over the past five games, Tatum has averaged 41.8 minutes per game and with a 32.8% usage rate and 38.5% assist rate, and Marcus Smart will be out once again. The Lakers SHOULD see a defensive improvement with the return of Anthony Davis, but this is still a prime spot for Tatum as LA ranks first in pace and 21st in defensive efficiency.
