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 DFS we define the Free Square as a player to build your lineups around. Generally, this player represents the closest we can find to a sure thing for the slate.
This column is all about trying to identify the free square for a particular slate. Often times, this will be a low-cost player who is thrust into a starting role and sure to make or exceed value. The type of player that allows us to load up the rest of our lineup with high salary studs. Occasionally it will be a high priced stud in a great spot. Each slate we will take a look at three or four players which represent great value on the day’s slate of games and choose the one which best represents the top value and floor play to earn the title of the slates Free Square

Kyle Lowry $8,800 / $7,800
With Siakam, Gasol and Powell out again for the Raptors tonight Kyle Lowry should continue to handle a ton of the workload for this team. In his last 5 games, he has averaged 39 minutes and 46.35 fantasy points per game. He’s very cheap on Fanduel, priced at only $7,800 so I’ll make him a core piece on that site. The matchup vs the Cavaliers is as good as it gets as they rank in the bottom of the league against Guards.
The NBA Research Station is my #1 source for research every single day and is one of the VIP Only tools our members have access to daily. The info in the NBA ReSearch Station includes today’s 📊 DFS Army Projection, Adjusted DVP matchups and much more. This tool will cut your daily research time in half.
Warriors
The Warriors have a few players popping as top value options because of all the injuries they are dealing with today. With Looney, Russell and Cauley Stein likely to miss tonight’s game there will be plenty of opportunities for other Warriors to step up.
The highest-rated value play is Marquesse Chriss and he’s only priced at 4.1k on DK and 4.0k on FD tonight. He has not been playing big minutes, but that should change tonight. He scored 31 fantasy points in just 17 minutes last game and he’s always had very high upside. I expect him to play 25-30 minute tonight and he should smash this price on both sites
Ky Bowman and Alec Burks are two guards that I have interest in tonight with D’Angelo Russell out. Bowman is only priced at 3.1k on DK and 3.7k on FD tonight. He should have no problem paying off those cheap prices vs a pretty bad Spurs Defense.
Alec Burks is the other guard I want from the Warriors. He’s a little more expensive, priced at 5.3k on DK and 5.6k on FD. He’s had 3 mediocre games in a row, scoring 24, 23.5 and 22 fantasy points but prior to that he blew up for 50.4, 43.1 and 33.2 fantasy points. The upside is there for sure and he should get plenty of run tonight on a team dealing with a ton of injuries.
