NBA DFS Core Plays & Top Picks for Sunday, October 25th
A daily fantasy sports OG, Notorious has been roaming the DFS streets ever since they were invented. He has racked up multiple live final seats and several six-figure tournament wins in his DFS career. Each weekday, Noto will walk you through the featured NBA DFS slates on DraftKings and FanDuel. On the weekends, Taylor Smith will take the reins.

Howdy, folks. Congrats on making it to Sunday. Your reward? Dreading Monday for most of the day. At least you can watch sports in the meantime. As I’m writing this, the NFL is forcing the French to watch the Saints, even though I thought France was one of our allies. Friends don’t let friends watch the Saints.
There’s a full Sunday NFL slate after that, while you can also dip your toes in some basketball and hockey action if you’re so inclined. The prize pools are watered down tonight with football taking center stage, of course, but hockey DFS is particularly fun, and our NHL DFS projections are the best in the industry. If you haven’t already, I recommend checking it out.
Slate Overview
As for the hoops, DraftKings and FanDuel yet again are approaching their slates differently. DK is ignoring a couple of games and tipping off a 4-game main slate at 7 PM ET. FanDuel’s docket is a 6-gamer. It includes Pacers and Nets at 6 PM ET plus the 9 PM ET matchup between the Grizzlies and Kings.
As usual, I’ll be here throughout the day tweaking the rankings and updating accordingly once news starts to trickle in.
