NBA DFS Player Rater Report 8/8

It’s time again for our check-in on the NBA DFS Player Rater for the day. This article is going to vary day-by-day, as the slates and ratings changes, but overall, I am going to be breaking down some of the most interesting parts of the slate. I will discuss who is standing out as potentially strong plays or fades based on the player rater. It is important to note that I follow these ratings quite consistently, but there will be times that I like players who don't stand out in the player rater, or I will be fading players that do pop. I will always note those circumstances.

This article is free today, just like the majority of FTNDaily, so if you’re reading this, check the rest of the site out we have tons of awesome content and tools for you guys to test drive.

1. Paul George, Los Angeles Clippers

No surprise to see PG atop the list here, as Kawhi Leonard has been ruled out and the price tag on George is extremely affordable on both sites. He will carry some ownership, probably the most ownership on the entire slate, but despite that he is still top on the player rater on both sites for Saturday.

2. Luka Doncic, Dallas MAvericks

It’s always cool when the player rater spits out value guys as a top option, but on this one, PG and Luka claim the top two spots. This should be a competitive game, which would only benefit Doncic. Milwaukee is going to force Dallas to play fast, which should lead to more fantasy opportunities from Luka and the Mavs.

3. Bam Adebayo and the rest of the Miami Heat

We got absolutely burned by Bam last time out, but I am going right back to him and the rest of this short Miami rotation. Bam comes in at No. 5 on both sites, while Kelly Olynyk is fourth on DK and third on FD. Why stop there? Tyler Herro is top 24 on both sites and 12th on FD, and Goran Dragic (who is questionable currently) is 14th on DK and 30th on FD if he were to play. Jae Crowder makes for a strong value play on both sites, rating out inside the top 12 on both DK and FD.
