Welcome to the DFS Army NBA Free Squares article where I will try to break down my favorite NBA Free Squares and Fanduel and Draftkings for Today’s NBA Slate.
So what is a Free Square exactly? In NBA DFS there will be situations that come up that will lead to bench players getting more minutes. Some may even enter the starting lineup. These players will often be priced as backups (their normal role). The expected increase in their minutes and role will give us someone we can plug into our lineups and comfortably expect them to reach or exceed value. The low cost of these players will allow us to spend up across the rest of our lineups. Wich gives us the ability to lock in some high dollar studs. On some nights, you may find some higher dollar players listed as well because the matchups may just be too good to ignore. Each day I’m going to list my 3 or 4 favorite Free Squares for you.
Did you know?
Tuesday the NBA Season tipped off with a small 2 game slate. We had some had some VIP Members take down massive prize pools. DFS Army VIP Member “Shaptown88” took down a cool $2,000 in the Fanduel Quarter Arcade and 2 other members “nargz11″ and “yungk1234″ each took home a cool $5,000 in the NBA Single Game Slate
I would saying NBA Opening night was a huge success. These are just the most recent examples of the 100’s of huge winners we’ve had in NBA over the years and we’re not planning on slowing down any time soon. Cash Games, Single Entry Tournaments, MME 150 GPP’s we simply DOMINATE the NBA. We’ve got the Domination Station locked and loaded for the 2018/19 NBA Season and we’ve got the best NBA Projecitons in the Industry! I promise you’re not gonna want to miss out on a single day of this.

Friday 10/19 Free Squares Results
(x value is based on Fanduel salary)
Dennis Schroder – 19.40 fantasy points – 2.77x value
Malcom Brogdon – 34.30 fantasy points – 6.35x value
Paul George – 31.4 fantasy points – 4.83x value
De’Aaron Fox – 44.30 fp – 6.42x value
The Anthony Davis was suggested as a Tourney play, and stacking his teammates Elf Payton, Jrue Holiday, and Nikola Mirotic. Anthony Davis scored 54 fantasy points but only paid off 4.06x value on his salary
Stacking the other side of the game was also suggested, with De’Aaron Fox, Buddy Hield and Willie Culley Stein. Combined they scored 85.2 fantasy points and paid off 4.21x value on their salary. Not as good as the Pelicans 3 man stack but not terrible either
My Favorite NBA Free Squares for Today – October 21st
We’ve got some more mid tier and high tier players on the list today, as we only have a small 4 Game Sunday slate today.
💥 Kevin Love – CLE – PF
I’m old enough to remember the DFS Days of Kevin Love in Minnesota. Back then he was a near must play daily as he routinely put up 25/15 and flirted with 60 fantasy points almost nightly. The Cavs have played 2 games so far this Season and Love seems to have similar role for this team as he did with his past T’Wolves teams. Last game he dropped 25/19/7 on his way to 58.30 fantasy points. So far this year he has a 28% usage rate on the season. Tonight the Cavs have a 119 team total and are currently 8 point home favorites. The Hawks are playing very fast this year so all this makes Kevin Love a LOCK for me today in all formats.
💥 Paul George – OKC – SF
He has not had a monster game yet with the absence of Russell Westbrook this season. The usage is there however with 35.86% in Game 1 and 34.36% in Game 2. George has taken 50 shots in the first two games so if he starts knocking them down a 60 point game is on its way. Today’s matchup with the Kings is one of the best on the slate as they have been awful defensively through the first two games. They are playing at the 3rd fastest pace in the NBA, behind only the Lakers and Hawks. They rank 2nd worst in the NBA in Defensive Efficiency and everything points to George putting up a big game tonight. He just needs to knock down some shots to really pay off for us today.
Note – Dennise Schroder is in play here as well, but I think George is a little safer. For GPP’s Schroder could be slightly less owned than he normally would be without Westbrook, since he just laid an egg for us on Friday night.

💥 Gary Harris – SG – DEN
Will Barton went down last game and it looks like he’s going to be out for awhile. This will open up a lot of opportunities for Gary Harris who we’ve seen put up great numbers in the past with and without Barton on the floor. Through the first two games Harris has played about 35 minutes per game and has 31.70 fantasy points per game. He’s taken about 15 shots per game and he has scored 20 and 18 real points in those two games. Without Barton, its safe to assume Harris’ role increases in this Offense, even though he may not see more minutes. He’s a very safe cash play today and has the upside to make him viable in tourneys as well. A matchup against the fast paced Warriors should lead to plenty of opportunites to acrue fantasy points today.
💥 Cedi Osman – SF – CLE
Osman has been a solid compliment to Kevin Love early this season for the Cavs. He’s playing around 34 minutes per game and he’s scoring just under 1.20 fantasy points per minute. He’s not known for his scoring ability but he has scored 17 and 22 points in the first two games of the Season. He does a lot other things other than scoring which we love. He’s active on the glass and dishes out a few assists per game so if he’s not scoring he can still pile up fantasy points. In the first two games of the year he’s put up 38 and 37 fantasy points. He should thrive in this matchup tonight vs the uptempo Atlanta Hawks.

💥 De’Aaron Fox – PG – SAC
I feel like I’ve written up De’Aaron Fox every day so far this season, but, for good reason. He is still too cheap for his role and production in this fast paced Kings Offense. He’s averaging around 33 minutes per game and maintaining a 26% usage rate so far this season. He’s also averaging 6 assists and 5 rebounds per game to go along with his 19.5 points per game. His 42.30 fantasy point game in game 1 was followed up by a 31.40 fantasy point game on Friday. I’m looking for another 30+ fantasy point game out of him this evening against the Thunder and Dennis Schroder defense.
