NBA DFS Process | November 14, 2026 | DraftKings & FanDuel Picks, Plays & Slate Breakdown

They got blown out last night by the Grizzlies. But, hey, Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic look very good to me. Jamal Murray sticks out at $8,500. Really like that price on him. And then $11,700 for Nikola. I think that's a good price. And the two value guys that I really like for this Nuggets team tonight is going to be Christian Brown at $4,900 and Cameron Johnson.

At $4,600, I don't see anybody else that I like over here. So, yeah, nobody else really for this Nuggets team. And then on the other side, on this Pelicans team, Sadiq Bay had a good game last night. Don't really love that. Man, they just play so many guys. I guess Sadiq Bae, if I had to. I'm not really prioritizing that. Jeremy Fears at $7,000. Herb Jones at forty four. No, thank you.

Yeah, it's really more of these Nuggets guys, obviously Nicola and Jamal. But even in this game, give me some Christian and Cameron as well. So like these Nuggets don't really like this Pelicans team. And you can see it's a twelve and a half point spread. So, yeah, give me some of these Nuggets there. Next game up on the slateSlateA slate in DFS is the set of games, races, fights or tournament rounds covered by a contest. It determines which events your player selections can come from and which performances count toward your score.Before building, open the contest details and check the included events, scoring period and lock rules. Do not assume two sites offer identical slates just because both call them the main slate.Read the full definition of Slate is the Mavs taking on the Cavs, and it's a Kyrie coming home game. I like Kyrie at seven, eight hundred bucks, $7,200 on FanDuel.

He would be my favorite play. Cooper Flagg, you're paying full freight for him. So. If you wanted to get, I'd call it contrarianContrarianA contrarian play or lineup is one built around choices most of the field will not make, such as low-owned players, unpopular teams or an unusual salary structure.Pick one or two contrarian spots per lineup and ground each in a real reason. The rest of the roster can look like the field.Read the full definition of Contrarian and play him. What kind of ownershipOwnershipOwnership is the percentage of lineups in a contest that include a given player. Projected ownership is an estimate made before lock; actual ownership is posted once the contest locks.Ownership isn't something to avoid; it's something to build around. The goal is understanding how the field is likely to build, then finding your edge relative to that.Read the full definition of Ownership we showing him? Yeah, we're only showing about ten percent ownership on him. So if you wanted to get different, you could. But that's a little bit too rich for my blood. And then none of these other guys for these Mavs. I'm not interested. Kyrie's my favorite.

On the flip side over here, I really like these Cavs, though. I like James Harden at $6,900. I think that's a very good price point for him. Donovan Mitchell at $8,100. That's a good price point for him. And you want to talk about some value on the slateSlateA slate in DFS is the set of games, races, fights or tournament rounds covered by a contest. It determines which events your player selections can come from and which performances count toward your score.Before building, open the contest details and check the included events, scoring period and lock rules. Do not assume two sites offer identical slates just because both call them the main slate.Read the full definition of Slate. You got you can't can't mention you cannot mention Jalen Tyson at $4,100 bucks like him as well. And then still no still no Evan Mobley.

So Jared Allen, only $5,600 bucks. I like Jared Allen tonight as well. He's been playing better of late with no Evan Moe, but he would be some – I'd call him some value as well. But Tyson and Allen for sure, value. And then Mitchell and then Harden. So, once again, I like four dudes on this Cavs team. And then Kyrie would kind of be the quote-unquote run backBring-BackA bring-back, also called a run-back, is a player from the opposing team added to a stack, so your lineup benefits if the other side answers with scoring of its own.Pick the bring-back who gains the most when his team falls behind. In football that's usually the opponent's top pass catcher, not a running back who loses carries in a comeback.Read the full definition of Bring-Back on the other side would be my favorite one. Bulls, T-Wolves. Yeah.

Matas Bouzelis, if you listened to the show last night, you heard Matt talk about him and how he really liked him. So, yeah, Bouzelis at $5,900. He's a good option. And the Jalen Smith was out there just hoping last night and he's only $5,800 bucks. Those would be my favorite two cheapish guys, cheaper guys for the Bulls. Then on the Timberwolves side, yeah, it's the little mellow ball show for me. $8,400 bucks. $8,000 on FanDuel.

So, yeah, don't hate that. And then I guess Rudy Gobert. You know, you're hoping for a double-doubleDouble-DoubleA double-double is when a basketball player records at least 10 in two of five statistical categories in one game: points, rebounds, assists, steals or blocks. Points with rebounds or assists are the most common combinations, so centers and power forwards reach them most often through rebounds, and point guards through assists.Check whether your fantasy-point projection already includes milestone bonuses before adding anything yourself. An average of 10 rebounds does not mean a player reaches 10 every game.Read the full definition of Double-Double with Rudy, right? Like fifteen and fifteen with a couple blocks. Steal something like that to hit a stealing game. We project him for thirty-one, so that's a pretty good projectionProjectionsDFS projections estimate a player's fantasy points for an upcoming slate using expected opportunities, performance and the contest's scoring rules. They describe an expected result, not a guaranteed score.Check the projection's update time and assumed role before using it. If news is already included, adjusting again for that same news can double-count its effect.Read the full definition of Projections for Rudy. He is only $6,100 bucks, so I like him, but... Don't love this game, but yeah, give me LaMelo and Rudy for the Timberwolves and then Bezelis and Smith on the other side for the Bulls.

Next up would be this Pistons team taking on the Heat. Yeah, so Cade. I like Denise Jenkins at $5,700. I think that's a really good price for him. I don't mind that $5,700 price tag. Duncan Robinson's not bad against this heat team. He do give up a bunch of three pointers. So, yeah, give me some Duncan Robinson. $5,600. Obviously, he is a former he is a former heat great himself. So.

You know, I know you people like to talk about the revenge narrative out there, so maybe if you're into that revenge narrative, that's not why I like Duncan Robinson. I like him because his heat team gives up the three-point line, and they have for quite some time. So, yeah, give me some Duncan Robinson. Kevin Hoarder, four to two hundred bucks. Really like Kevin Hoarder tonight. I think he's a great spot at four to two hundo. Let's see, how many minutes has he been playing?

Let me take a quick gander at this. Herter. Yeah, he played. He's played thirty five, thirty three and twenty four in his last three. So, yeah, give me some Kevin Herter there for this Pistons team. And on the flip side, Davion Mitchell cut up last night. $7,000, though, that's that's kind of rich. T.H.J. Got to start last night. He's $3,300, but he's not going to do much. And then give me some Bam Bam.

Give me some Bam out of bio is probably my favorite. $8,300. He would be my favorite piece on that side. I mean, obviously Giannis is nice too, but man, bam, last night, thirty seven, fourteen and thirty and thirty eight minutes of work. He's going to get you thirty plus minutes. Thirty eight, thirty seven, thirty four, thirty three, forty one, thirty one. So, yeah, give me some bam bam.

We'd obviously not going to expect what he did last night, but he caught up last night. And then Giannis, how many minutes did Giannis play last night? Thirty one. So they're kind of keeping him right around that thirty. I'd say low thirties and an $11,500. We need a big boy price tag, but he just hasn't been really putting it up. So can he do it? Absolutely. He does have a Q tag as well.

So make sure you're paying close attention to that. But Bam would be my favorite one. And then the last game on the slateSlateA slate in DFS is the set of games, races, fights or tournament rounds covered by a contest.

Do not assume two sites offer identical slates just because both call them the main slate.Read the full definition of Slate, this Nets and Grizzlies. Man, this Nets team is tough, tough, tough. Don't really love anybody on this net side. I did see where I do think that Ty Jerome is out tonight. Scottie Pippen Jr. Is out. Yep. And then Edie is questionable. We currently have Edie as listed as in with Jeremy Grant's questionable as well.

So make sure you're paying close attention to that. It would be Cedric Coward for me, though. $6,000 bucks. He's probably my favorite player. And then don't see anything else I love, so it would be Cedric for sure. No Nets for me tonight. Obviously, I had four Cavs, four Nuggets, value both there. So, you know, we got some spend-ups in the COLA, and I would say BAM as a spend-upSpending UpSpending up means choosing a higher-priced player over a cheaper alternative, using more of your lineup's salary budget at that spot. You may also hear it called paying up.Build a version with your preferred expensive player and another without. Before choosing, check whether either version relies on a cheap player whose expected role still depends on unresolved injury news.Read the full definition of Spending Up. And then we have tons of value as well littered throughout this board.
