NBA DFS Picks for Wednesday, November 8: Advice, strategy, tips for DraftKings, FanDuel daily fantasy basketball contests image

It's a five-game NBA DFS slate for Wednesday night, with the highest total at 229 for the Timberwolves-Warriors. The rest of the totals sit between 208 and 213. Plenty of daily fantasy basketball picks will come from the Wolves-Dubs, but that doesn't mean there aren't sleepers and values to found in the other games for DraftKings and FanDuel contests.

Reminder: Not all of the top options are listed in the Playbook. Great players always make for great plays, but we aim to provide options across all salary ranges, not only the top plays. Position designations are usually listed according to FanDuel eligibility, but players might be eligible at other positions on other sites. Mixing and matching is easier with multiple DraftKings options than on FanDuel.

NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings, FanDuel advice for Wednesday, November 8

                                                               
Pos  Player Matchup FD *Own % DK Analysis
PG Stephen Curry MIN@ GSW $9500 GO PRO ! $9300 GO PRO !
PG Kyrie Irving LAL@ BOS $8900 GO PRO ! $8800 GO PRO !
PG Goran Dragic MIA @PHX $7100 GO PRO ! $6800 The Suns are allowing the most fantasy points to point guards this season, which makes Dragic a very solid play in both GPP and cash game contests tonight. There is also the revenge narrative here after the Suns traded away Dragic to the Heat a few seasons ago. 
PG Reggie Jackson IND@ DET $6700 GO PRO ! $6000 GO PRO !
SG Devin Booker MIA@ PHX $7200 GO PRO ! $8000 GO PRO !
SG Jaylen Brown LAL@ BOS $5500 GO PRO ! $6200 GO PRO !
SG Dion Waiters MIA @PHX $6000 GO PRO ! $5700 GO PRO !
SG Avery Bradley IND@ DET $6300 GO PRO ! $5500 Bradley has exceeded 30 fantasy points in each of the past two games. He is still underpriced on DK, and that is where I will look to play him tonight.
PG Marcus Smart LAL@ BOS $5900 GO PRO ! $5300 GO PRO !
SG Jordan Clarkson LAL @BOS $4100 GO PRO ! $4200 GO PRO !
SG Courtney Lee NYK @ORL $4500 GO PRO ! $4200 GO PRO !
SF Evan Fournier NYK@ ORL $6100 GO PRO ! $6700 GO PRO !
SF TJ Warren MIA@ PHX $6300 GO PRO ! $6000 GO PRO !
SF Jayson Tatum LAL@ BOS $5700 GO PRO ! $6200 We have seen Tatum put up two 40-plus-point fantasy outings this season, which makes him a great GPP play in my opinion. He doesn't need to score a ton to get his point either as he is a good rebounder with the ability to block shots and grab a steal on the occasion, as well.
SG Tim Hardaway Jr. NYK @ORL $6000 GO PRO ! $6100 GO PRO !
SF Brandon Ingram LAL @BOS $6000 GO PRO ! $5900 GO PRO !
SF Bojan Bogdanovic IND @DET $4700 GO PRO ! $4800 GO PRO !
PF Kristaps Porzingis NYK @ORL $9800 GO PRO ! $9500 GO PRO !
PF Draymond Green MIN@ GSW $8200 GO PRO ! $7500 With Kevin Durant ruled out I think Green is an autoplay for me tonight. Not only does he set up the offense, but he should also be more involved in the scoring tonight. He also will have the advantage over Taj Gibson on the defensive end.
PF Aaron Gordon NYK@ ORL $7800 GO PRO ! $7200 GO PRO !
PF Tobias Harris IND@ DET $6900 GO PRO ! $6600 GO PRO !
PF James Johnson MIA @PHX $6200 GO PRO ! $6400 GO PRO !
PF Thaddeus Young IND @DET $6400 GO PRO ! $5800 GO PRO !
PF Kyle Kuzma LAL @BOS $6300 GO PRO ! $6100 GO PRO !
PF Anthony Tolliver IND@ DET $3000 GO PRO ! $3500 GO PRO !
C Karl-Anthony Towns MIN @GSW $9700 GO PRO ! $8900 GO PRO !
C Andre Drummond IND@ DET $9400 GO PRO ! $8400 GO PRO !
C Nikola Vucevic NYK@ ORL $8200 GO PRO ! $7100 GO PRO !
C Hassan Whiteside MIA @PHX $9000 GO PRO ! $7400 GO PRO !
C Myles Turner IND @DET $7500 GO PRO ! $7000 GO PRO !
C Brook Lopez LAL @BOS $6900 GO PRO ! $6100 We have seen Lopez really come on of late, but with news that Al Horford is out of the lineup I am interested to see how the Lakers will now play their rotations if the Celtics decide to go small. That could take Lopez off the floor. He is a GPP-only play.
C Aron Baynes LAL@ BOS $3500 GO PRO ! $3500 GO PRO !
