For NBA daily Fantasy players who like to target games with high over-unders, the Saturday NBA DFS slate might be a tough one to play. Clippers vs. Timberwolves (221.5) is the only game on the schedule with a total over 220 at Caesars Sportsbook and three of the games have totals of 205 or lower. That will make Clippers and Timberwolves regulars popular options in the NBA DFS player pool, but if you’re looking for variance you’re going to have to target individual matchups in the games that are expected to be lower-scoring.
Celtics forward Jayson Tatum has been asked to carry a heavy scoring load with Jaylen Brown (leg) out for the last two weeks. After struggling initially, he’s started to find his stride in the last three games. Tatum is averaging 27 points and 11 rebounds per game over his last three contests and he could be a strong addition to your NBA DFS lineups on Saturday night despite carrying a hefty price tag ($10,400 on DraftKings and $9,600 on FanDuel). Before locking in any NBA DFS picks, be sure to check out the NBA DFS advice, player rankings, stacks and top daily Fantasy basketball picks from SportsLine’s Mike McClure.
McClure is a DFS professional with nearly $2 million in career winnings. He’s also a predictive data engineer at SportsLine who uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every minute of every game 10,000 times, taking factors like matchups, statistical trends and injuries into account.
This allows him to find the best NBA DFS values and create optimal lineups that he shares only over at SportsLine. They’re a must-see for any NBA DFS player.
On Friday, McClure listed Bucks guard Jrue Holiday as one of his top NBA DFS picks on FanDuel and DraftKings. The result: Holiday had 17 points, 13 assists, six rebounds and three steals to return nearly 8x on DraftKings and over 7x on FanDuel. Anybody that included him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.
Now, McClure has turned his attention to the Saturday, November 13 NBA DFS slate and locked in his top daily Fantasy basketball picks. You can only see them by heading to SportsLine.
Top NBA DFS picks for Saturday, November 13
One of McClure’s top NBA DFS picks for Saturday is Celtics guard Dennis Schroder at $6,300 on DraftKings and $5,700 on FanDuel. Schroder has also taken on a larger role since Brown’s injury and, like Tatum, he’s finally producing as a scorer in his last three games.
Schroder had 20 points against the Mavericks last Saturday and then 20 points again versus the Raptors on Wednesday before going off on Friday night in an overtime win over the Bucks. Schroder scored 38 points on 16-of-27 shooting and also added eight rebounds with three assists to finish with 53 points on DraftKings and 49.1 on FanDuel.
Another key in McClure’s optimal NBA DFS strategy includes rostering Clippers guard/forward Paul George ($10,600 on DraftKings, $10,000 on FanDuel). George has been a secondary scoring option the past three seasons playing alongside Kawhi Leonard, but with Leonard still recovering from a torn ACL, George has taken on more responsibility at the offensive and is producing while continuing to play at a high level on defense.
George is averaging 26.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game this season. He’s also leading the NBA in steals (2.5 per game) which has helped buoy excellent NBA daily Fantasy numbers. George has had at least 42 points on DraftKings in each of his last seven games is averaging 51.4 points per game during that span, making him a solid NBA DFS choice even at a steep price.
