NBA Daily Fantasy Picks: Optimizer & Ownership Projections for DraftKings & FanDuel

After a massive NBA Daily fantasy slate yesterday, there are only three games on the schedule tonight. A bit of NBA DFS injury news is yet to come out, so be sure to check the Awesemo NBA Starting Lineups page to see who is in, who is out and who is starting as news breaks, and look at the NBA DFS rankings and projections for both DraftKings and FanDuel lineups tonight.

NBA Daily Fantasy Picks: Awesemo Grades | Nov. 11

*Grades are ordered DraftKings, FanDuel. Initial grade indicates a player’s strength of output, with the value grade indicating their strength as a play in relation to their salary.

C Andre Drummond — Grades: A, A | Values: A, A

Joel Embiid remains out for Philadelphia tonight, which means Andre Drummond is still in play. He has put up over 50 fantasy points in each of his three starts this season. Drummond has back-to-back games of 14 or more real points, at least 20 rebounds and multiple blocks. Tonight he faces a Raptors team that likes to play small. This should lead to Drummond pushing for 20 rebounds yet again. If Philadelphia is winning the game, they can keep Drummond on the floor, and Toronto will struggle to defend him. According to Awesemo’s Boom/Bust Tool, Drummond has the second-highest ceiling of the day.

C Bam Adebayo — Grades: A, A | Values: A, A

Jimmy Butler exited last night’s game with an ankle injury and did not return, so there is a decent chance he will be out tonight. With Butler off the floor this season Bam Adebayo leads Miami in usage, at 32.2%. He also averages 1.56 NBA fantasy points per minute in this situation, and Awesemo projections predict Adebayo to play 33.7 minutes tonight. Adebayo is a high-floor, high-ceiling play. The Boom/Bust Tool gives Adebayo the highest boom percentage on DraftKings and the second highest on FanDuel, behind Drummond.

With plenty of injury news to keep track of for the Miami Heat tonight, check out Adam Strangis’ NBA Injury Report where he analyzes all of the official NBA injury news and notes and gives you the most up-to-date starting lineups.

PG Kyle Lowry — Grades: B, B | Values: B, A

Again, Butler out should help Kyle Lowry tonight in terms of usage. Lowry has smashed for NBA fantasy when games have remained close, and the absence of Butler should make the game against the Clippers a close result. Lowry has totaled 39 or more fantasy points in four of his past six games, and the two failed attempts were team losses of double-digit points. Since the Awesemo NBA Betting Model views this as a close game, Lowry should be a solid play tonight.

SG Furkan Korkmaz — Grades: B, B | Values: A, A

Furkan Korkmaz has been terrific on the depleted 76ers, putting up 28 or more DraftKings points in three of his past five games. He is coming off a poor performance due to his 1-for-12 shooting from 3-point range. This looks to be an outlier, but this poor performance could lead to a lower ownership for him, which makes him a more appealing play. Awesemo’s projections predict him to see 38.5 minutes again tonight. Given his current role, he is a fantastic value.
