Hittin' The Nuts: SquirrelPatrol's NBA DFS Lineup Advice for Monday, October 28th
Want to hit the nuts and take down 1st place in these massive contests posted by FanDuel and DraftKings? Who better to walk you through their favorite NBA DFS picks than SquirrelPatrol! Undoubtedly one of the best DFS players in the game today, SquirrelPatrol has accumulated 100+ Live Final seats, won the FanDuel 2021 World Fantasy Basketball Championship for $500,000, and most recently, took down the NFL Milly Maker in Week 2 of last season.
We have a big slate of NBA action on Monday with 11 games on FanDuel and a slightly smaller but still large 9-game slate on DraftKings that cuts out the two 10 PM ET games. There are already plenty of injury situations to monitor less than a week into the season, with Franz Wagner, De’Andre Hunter, Sam Hauser, R.J. Barrett, Josh Hart, Ja Morant, and Bradley Beal headlining the list of questionable players. Onyeka Okongwu and Bogdan Bogdanovic are already listed as out.
Let’s sort through the games and figure out what it all means for our DFS lineups.

NBA DFS Picks: Lineup Advice for SquirrelPatrol’s ‘Hittin’ The Nuts’ (Monday, October 28th)
High Flyers
Who are the players I’m picking first for my squad? These guys are the first selections for both my cash games and tournament lineups, and I’ll sacrifice elsewhere, if need be, to ensure I get them in:
Jalen Johnson
FanDuel: $8,000, SF/PF
DraftKings: $7,800, PF
It didn’t take long for the Wizards to take the early lead in points per game allowed again this season. Tonight, the Hawks will face Washington without Bogdan Bogdanovic and Onyeka Okongwu. That leaves Jalen Johnson underpriced on both sites in the highest-total game on the board. The Hawks forward took a major leap last season, averaging 16.0 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, and he should be able to excel against the Wizards defense.
