Hittin' The Nuts: SquirrelPatrol's NBA DFS Lineup Advice for Wednesday, October 23rd
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.
Our first full slate of NBA action tips off on Wednesday with 10 games starting at 7 PM ET. We have 1 game starting at 7 PM (IND/DET) that has the highest point total of the night (235.0), followed by 6 games total in the 7:30 PM ET and 8 PM ET windows, then a game at 9 PM ET and two West Coast games set for 10 PM ET tip-offs. For such a large slate, the injury report is about as clean as it can be, with Zion Williamson the only major questionable player.
Let’s sort through the 2 games and figure out what it all means for our DFS lineups.

NBA DFS Picks: Lineup Advice for SquirrelPatrol’s ‘Hittin’ The Nuts’ (Wednesday, October 23)
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:
Immanuel Quickley
FanDuel: $7,900, PG/SG
DraftKings: $7,200, PG
The Raptors are missing RJ Barrett, Kelly Olynyk, and Bruce Brown for their opener against Cleveland, leaving Quickley underpriced on both sites. CourtIQ shows that Quickley saw a 3.6% usage bump and averaged 43.84 DK points per 36 minutes with that trio off the court last season. Toronto is playing at home in a game with a healthy 225.5 total, and Quickley stands out as a top point-per-dollar spend-up option for both cash games and tournaments.
