SuperDraft NBA DFS Picks (12/27)

SuperDraft is one of the hottest platforms in the market for DFS players. SuperDraft offers a unique twist on your traditional DFS experience with game modes like “Multiplier” and “Super 15.”

This daily article will focus on daily value plays from SuperDraft’s exclusive Multiplier game mode. By eliminating the traditional salary cap structure and providing a points multiplier for every player on the slate, there is almost limitless flexibility when building lineups on SuperDraft. You can load up on all the studs, but their point multipliers will be low. You can balance those plays out with some long shots that could score up to 2x their fantasy points to vault you to the top of the leaderboards.

With seven games on Monday’s slate, let’s get into some of the multiplier plays over on SuperDraft.

Guard

Skylar Mays, Atlanta Hawks (1.85x score multiplier) – With all the news we already have for this slate, it’s going to be tough to not stock your lineups with high-multiplier plays. Let’s start with Atlanta. If you’ve played NBA DFS in the last week then you’re familiar with how shorthanded the Hawks have been. We can add John Collins and Delon Wright to the list of inactives in this one, opening the door to an even bigger role for Mays. He’s gotten 33 and 22 minutes in the Hawks last two games, and with Wright’s 33 minutes per game over that span coming available, it would be shocking to see Mays play less than 30 minutes in this game. Mays projects for just about a SuperDraft point per minute in this matchup against Chicago, and with his multiplier near the ceiling, the upside is massive for him on this slate. 

John Konchar, Memphis Grizzlies (2x) – Memphis became one of the more recent teams to be hit with a COVID-19 outbreak Sunday, placing Dillon Brooks and De’Anthony Melton into the health and safety protocols. Konchar entered the starting lineup and did his typical Konchar thing in his 28 minutes, contributing across the box score for a great fantasy finish of 47 SuperDraft points in his 28 minutes. We can’t project a repeat of that massive performance but as of this writing it’s safe to expect Konchar to draw another start against Phoenix here. The matchup is tough, and the Grizzlies are eight-point road underdogs, but Konchar projects for just over 30 minutes (after losing three to blowout run last night) as long as this game doesn’t get out of hand. At his ceiling 2x multiplier, I have a lot of interest in rostering the third-year guard on SuperDraft. 

Forward

Jalen McDaniels, Charlotte Hornets (1.85x) – Be careful when clicking a McDaniels brother into your lineup. Both Jalen (Charlotte) and Jaden (Minnesota) look like strong plays on SuperDraft given their respective team’s COVID-19 situations, but I prefer Jalen with the extra 20% boost on his multiplier. P.J. Washington and Miles Bridges are now out for the Hornets, opening up significant opportunity for Jalen. In a tougher matchup, I would have Jalen as more of a secondary play given the higher-usage players he will share the court with like LaMelo Ball, Terry Rozier and Kelly Oubre. But the Hornets are hosting the lowly Rockets here with the highest implied team total on the slate, making Jalen McDaniels my favorite Charlotte value on SuperDraft.

Nathan Knight, Minnesota Timberwolves (2x) – I mentioned how Jaden McDaniels is also a strong play on SuperDraft in the paragraph above, and that holds true. But with Karl-Anthony Towns, Naz Reid and Jared Vanderbilt all in the protocols, I would prioritize Knight as my favorite Minnesota value on the slate. Knight spent his rookie season in Atlanta last year and has been stuck behind the aforementioned frontcourt players in Minnesota thus far in 2021. But with the elevated opportunity here against the Celtics, who are now without Jayson Tatum, Knight projects to be a great value on SuperDraft at the ceiling 2x multiplier. He was just shy of a SuperDraft point per minute player in his rookie season and we should expect similar output in this one with a projected minutes load that grades him out as one of the highest upside forward options on this slate as of this writing.

Center

Larry Nance, Portland Trail Blazers (1.75x) – It’s likely that we’ll see SuperDraft lineups with nobody under a 1.5x multiplier on this slate, so we get the rare forward-eligible player in the article’s center spot. The Blazers have not only listed Damian Lillard as questionable for this game against the Mavericks, but they will also be without the services of Jusuf Nurkic, Robert Covington, Cody Zeller and rookie Trendon Watford. With Nance the last serviceable non-replacement frontcourt player standing, he projects great at his 1.75x multiplier. As it has been over the last two weeks, it is paramount for you to be tuned into all the breaking news leading up to lock on this slate. Things have been shifting wildly on a daily basis from when industry content is posted to when the games actually start. Make sure you’ve got eyes on the FTN Daily NBA Discord channel, and the two livestreams we have before lock this evening starting at 5 p.m. ET to help break down all the moving parts on this slate.
