NBA Expert Picks Preview: Saturday, Nov. 11
Glean insight from one of the game’s best as they list picks they’ll actually be targeting in cash games below, along with detailed analysis and reasoning.
Saturday, November 8th
Point Guard
Stephen Curry ($10,000) – Curry gets a huge boost in his match up with the Rockets on Saturday night due to the absence of Patrick Beverly. Beverly is one of the best on the ball defenders in the entire NBA, his absence will make things much easier for Curry. The Warriors are currently playing at the fastest pace in the entire NBA and with an over/under of 205, you can expect a good return from Curry
Mo Williams ($4,100) – Williams is your Saturday night, injury caused, plug and play. Ricky Rubio left Saturday’s game with an ankle injury and will not play night. Williams logged 31 minutes last night and will play as much as he can handle tonight. Williams did have a bad shooting performance last night (1-7), but it safe to assume an improvement tonight against the Miami Heat.
Shooting Guard
Jimmy Butler ($6,700) – Jimmy Butler continues to be very under priced across the industry. His price tag of $6,700 requires just north of 30 fantasy points to achieve value, which is something he has done in every game this season. This is most likely the last chance to get a discounted rate on Butler as you can expect a healthy price bump very soon.
Courtney Lee ($4,500) – Courtney Lee is another player that is currently very under priced. Lee has flown under the DFS radar, mostly due to the team that he plays on. The Memphis Grizzlies are a team that really likes to slow things down and limit their opponent’s possessions. With the exception of the game that Lee suffered an injury, he has been over 35 minutes of playing time and has not produced less than 22.5 fantasy points. Lee is great value play tonight simply due to the heavy minutes that he plays on a nightly basis.
Small Forward
Draymond Green ($5400) – David Lee attempted to return to action on Thursday night and appearded to have reinjured himself. This will again open up the opportunity for Draymond green to play extended minutes. Green will log a minimum of 30 minutes on a nightly basis for the Warriors while David Lee is out. Green is a multi-category contributor and is capable of some big stat lines which was evident on Wednesday night when he totaled 41 Fanduel points. Green makes for a great value play on Saturday night.
Chris Copeland ($5400) – Copleand is the same price as Green and if deciding between the two I think it safe to assume the similar production. Copland will certainly attempt more shots; however he does not contribute across the board like Green does. Copeland was promoted to the starting lineup on Friday night and logged 37 minutes of action. Copland finished the game with 17 points and seven rebounds, which is just about what you should expect from him with this type of playing time. Teammate CJ miles was out last night which led to a few more minutes of action for Copeland, even if Miles returns tonight you can expect over 30 minutes of action for Copeland.
