The 2015/2016 NBA regular season tips off October 27th! DraftKings DFS NBA is back again and Johnny G will attempt to post lineups EVERY DAY of the season. Also, check out my Fanduel picks as well!
DraftKings NBA 10/27/15 Fantasy Lineup
With a limited slate of games you need to really find the best players and lock in some solid points. Then you can find some value plays to help have success in the 50/50 contests. Check back again because there are many injuries that are not exactly fully disclosed yet. Both NBA Finals teams (Cavs and Warriors) are in action on opening night.
| Position | Name | Team | Salary | Projections |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PG | Mo Williams | Cle @Chi | 4900 | With Kyrie out, Mo will be scoring like it is old school in Cleveland. At 4900 he is a good value in this game. |
| SG | Jimmy Butler | Cle@ Chi | 7600 | With Rose being banged up, Butler has proven he can handle the scoring load. Look for him to go for at least 25 in this one. |
| SF | Marcus Morris | Det @Atl | 4500 | A solid double - double would be a huge bonus on opening night. |
| PF | Anthony Davis | NO @GS | 10400 | Could be the best overal fantasy basketball player in the league. Expect him to make a good impression on the defending champs. |
| C | Timofey Mozgov | Cle @Chi | 4600 | With T.T. just signing, Mozgov should be getting extra minutes for a while. |
| G | Jeff Teague | Det@ Atl | 7000 | Teague is one of the more underrated guards in the league. Steady and consistent. |
| F | Taj Gibson | Cle@ Chi | 3900 | Last spot to fill and had little to play with. Gibson could be good if he gets the minutes. |
| UTIL | Draymond Green | NO@ GS | 6900 | GS spreads the ball around so much, but Green normally gets enough minutes never to have a total dud. |
| Total | 49800 |
Over the course of the first few weeks you might be able to find some sleepers. However, you will also find some bad plays and then you will be able to develop some patterns in picking your winners for each contest.
Best of luck to everyone.
Just found you and used your picks for this week. How is your track record? I am a working guy and not enough time to do the research. It looks like you have researched everything.
Hi Dave,
I use my own money for these picks. I pick others too but this is my own lineup. I recommend 50/50’s, they are easier to place, Between FanDuel and Draftkings I am up on the year overall. HOWEVER, I would recommend to never play more than you can afford to lose and hopefully these picks can help. Also, research other picks and come to a conclusion. I take some advice and reject some others. Best of luck. Also, before the games start always double check your lineup. Late injuries etc may not be announced. Good luck.
Thanks for your research. Seems like I’m always one player away from winning a big prize
Thanks Kenny! Yeah, it can be tough to win tournaments without that one sleeper. I’d recommend playing a few 50/50, so even with a loss in a tournament a good lineup can make you some money on the night. Good luck my friend!
