NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Friday (1/31)

The goal of this article is to outline some of the best plays in the NBA daily, helping us to quickly and efficiently build DFS lineups. We’ll be doing our best to avoid listing players like Luka Dončić and Nikola Jokić on most days. You don’t need to be told that Dončić and Jokić are some of the best players in the league. There will be days when a star player is simply projected for too many more points than anyone else and that will be pointed out. Additionally, the smaller slates may be more geared toward the big-name players strictly due to a lack of options.

Using the GPP Scores in the NBA Projections and the NBA Optimizer will be vital parts of this article every day, but this is a reminder of how the NBA works. The league is not always the best when talking about injuries and rest, leading to late changes to lineups. It wasn’t as prevalent last season with some new rules in place, but understand that the names on this page can change very quickly. That’s what the NBA Discord is for so if you’re not going to be around leading up to lock, be careful about how you play any given slate.
