Hittin' The Nuts: Squirrelpatrol's NBA Lineup Advice for Thursday, November 2nd
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 90+ 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. Should we roster the chalk picks? How off-the-board should we get in large-field tournaments? Squirrel answers all of these questions and more below!
After last night’s massive 13-game slate, we get a larger-than-average Thursday slate with four games, including a fourth consecutive national TV game for the Phoenix Suns. Phoenix has only played on Tuesdays and Thursdays this season, making them a mainstay in my Hittin’ The Nuts article (which also only plays on Tuesdays and Thursdays this season). We kick things off at 7PM with the Raptors in Philly, then a game tips off each hour with the Pistons in New Orleans at 8pm, the Magic in Utah at 9PM, and finally the Spurs in Phoenix at 10PM.
The major injury news for this slate is in New Orleans, where Zion Williamson is resting on the second leg of the back-to-back and Brandon Ingram is Questionable after missing the past two games. Jalen Duren is also Questionable for the Pistons, while Devin Booker is Questionable for the Suns, with Bradley Beal still out and yet to make his season debut. Let’s sort through the games and figure out what it all means for our DFS lineups.
