The NBA DFS Big Board is a one-stop shop for building your lineups. It gives each player on the slate a Points Rating, Value Rating and Leverage Rating on a scale from 1 to 100, which allows you to easily decipher some of the top options on the slate. There are plenty of studs to choose from on Friday’s seven-game slate, so where can DFS players look for some value? Let’s break down the NBA daily fantasy rankings using the Big Board and our NBA Projections.
NBA Daily Fantasy Rankings & DFS Projections Today
Richaun Holmes, C, Sacramento Kings | DraftKings Value Rating: 90
Holmes is massively underpriced at just $5,800 on DraftKings. He is a fantastic per-minute producer – he has averaged 1.35 DraftKings points per minute this season – and he is routinely playing around 30 minutes. Awesemo projects him for 28.4 minutes, and that should be more than enough for Holmes to pay off this price tag. Holmes also benefits from a strong matchup with the Pelicans. They have been above average in pace and below average in defensive efficiency, and the Kings’ implied team total of 111.25 ranks fifth on the slate.
Ivica Zubac, C, Los Angeles Clippers | FanDuel Value Rating: 94
Zubac stands out as the preferred value center on FanDuel. His $4,600 salary is too low considering the value he has provided to start the year. He has scored at least 20.1 FanDuel points in all four games, and he has done it despite playing a minimal number of minutes. He has increased his production to 1.07 FanDuel points per minute this year, so he has excellent upside if he sees a few additional minutes on Friday.
Zubac is taking on the Trail Blazers on Friday, and his best game of the year came against them two games ago. He racked up 30.6 FanDuel points in 25 minutes, and he stuffed the stat sheet with 10 points, eight rebounds, four assists and two steals. Zubac is expected to carry minimal ownership on this slate. He projects for 18.1% ownership on FanDuel, giving him one of the best leverage scores in Awesemo’s Boom/Bust Probability Tool.
Reggie Bullock, SG/SF, Dallas Mavericks | DraftKings Value Rating: 88 | FanDuel Value Rating: 79
Bullock is an excellent potential source of savings across the industry. The Mavericks will be without Kristaps Porzingis for the second straight game, and Bullock replaced him in the starting lineup on Thursday. He played a season-high 29.9 minutes on Thursday, and while that did not lead to much fantasy value, it does provide optimism moving forward. Bullock has averaged 0.66 DraftKings points per minute over the past year, so he should be able to pay off his current price tag with that much playing time.
Bullock also seems due for some positive shooting regression. He has made just 37.5% of his shots from the field and 36.8% from 3-point range, and he was significantly better in both departments last year. Bullock is not currently listed in the Awesemo Player Prop tool, but there is a chance that some prop bets are added closer to tip-off.
