NBA Full Court Press Breakdown, Advice, and Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Feb. 27th, 2020

Full Court Press:

Welcome to another year of the DFS Army NBA Full Court Press! Members had a ton of success using the Full Court Press along with various articles and tools that DFS Army provides, that said, we are glad to be back with another year of the all-inclusive article. You have to start your research somewhere, and oftentimes going game by game and breaking down every matchup and its key players is the first step in our process. My name is Steve aka @mutt_18  on Twitter, make sure to give me a follow as I’ll occasionally make updates to the advice in the article. But, you’ll mostly find me in our VIP coaching forums where I provide detailed lineup maneuvers and answer all lineup questions. With that said, let’s get it started!

Before I get started, make sure to check out the latest new DFS website. SuperDraft is an innovative new DFS site that does not have salaries but instead uses a multiplier system and better yet, THEY HAVE LATE SWAP! Check out more on how it works below!

Full Court Press:

New York Knicks @ Philadelphia 76ers

Vegas Total: TBD

Vegas Spread: PHI -8.0

For the Knicks, this game may be closer than we anticipate, as the Sixers will likely be without Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons. Julius Randle draws a solid matchup here with Embiid out. Mitchell Robinson has also been playing really well and getting the minutes which is the most important thing. If Elfrid Payton and Frank Ntilikina are out again, Dennis Smith Jr. will become the premier value play on the slate. R.J. Barrett is also firmly in play here as he has been stepping his game up as of the ASB as well.

For the Sixers, they are likely going to be without Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons tonight, which will open up a ton of value on this Sixers team. Josh Richardson and Tobias Harris will see the biggest benefit here, along with Al Horford. It’ll open up even more value for guys coming off the bench, such as Furkan Korkmaz and Alec Burks as well. We’ll need a starting lineup though before I make any decisions.

5-star plays: Julius Randle, Tobias Harris, Al Horford

4-star plays: Mitchell Robinson, Josh Richardson, Furkan Korkmaz, RJ Barrett

Deeper Value: Furkan Korkmaz, Alec Burks, Glenn Robinson III, Dennis Smith Jr.

GPP Sleeper: Dennis Smith Jr.


Sacramento Kings @ Oklahoma City Thunder

Vegas Total: 223.5

Vegas Spread: OKC -7.0

For the Kings, your main target here is going to be De’Aaron Fox as he is the leader of this Kings team, and they’ll need him offensively here tonight if they want to keep this one close. Nemanja Bjelica will also continue to play big minutes with Holmes out, and Harrison Barnes has also been on a heater lately, and Kent Bazemore has also been playing great off the bench. Buddy Hield has also been playing well off the bench and could score a ton in this game.

For the Thunder, their guards draw a decent matchup here, namely Chris Paul and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, as both are playing 30+ minutes and the Kings are susceptible to guards. Steven Adams will also have to play heavy minutes and has been playing really well over the past week, he’s on an absolute heater as well. Nerlens Noel is also a nice value play here as he’s been playing 20+ minutes a game and can get you 25-35 FPs. Dennis Schroder has also been playing really well along with Danilo Gallinari, both are solid GPP plays here tonight as well.

5-star play: Chris Paul

4-star play: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Harrison Barnes, Steven Adams, Dennis Schroder, Danilo Gallinari

Deeper Value: Nerlens Noel, Buddy Hield, Kent Bazemore

GPP Sleeper: Kent Bazemore

Portland Trail Blazers @ Indiana Pacers

Vegas Total: 218.5

Vegas Spread: IND -9.5

From the Blazers, CJ McCollum is going to be your premier play here, as Dame has already been ruled out, he’ll be chalk, but it’ll be good chalk as he has a 35% usage rating with Dame off the court and we all saw the 70 burger a few nights ago. Hassan Whiteside has been a bit volatile as of late but I don’t mind going right back to him tonight as he’ll take on a bigger offensive role with Dame off the court and the matchup isn’t great for any of the Blazers. Carmelo Anthony and Trevor Ariza are fine GPP options, with my preference going to Carmelo. Anfernee Simons and Gary Trent Jr. will also be in play for value here, as both see boosts with Dame out.

For the Pacers, this is a pretty nice matchup for Domantas Sabonis has his mojo back, and he draws a really nice matchup here as the Trail Blazers are inept at guarding bigs. Malcolm Brogdon is still a little underpriced here as well, and Oladipo is questionable here with a back injury. TJ Warren will also see a boost with Jeremy Lamb done for the year and if Oladipo is out. Myles Turner is back tonight, but I’m not going there outside of GPPs. Doug McDermott might be worth a deeper look in GPPs with the Lamb injury and blowout risk in this game as well.

5-star play: Domantas Sabonis, CJ McCollum

4-star play: Malcolm Brogdon, TJ Warren, Carmelo Anthony, Hassan Whiteside

Deeper Value: Myles Turner, Doug McDermott

GPP Sleeper: Anfernee Simons, Gary Trent Jr.


Los Angeles Lakers @ Golden State Warriors

Vegas Total: TBD

Vegas Spread: LAL -13.0

Your main target is going to be Anthony Davis as LeBron James is out tonight. Avery Bradley has picked up his play of late as well, but if I’m going to target value here it’ll be him or Danny Green. Kyle Kuzma is also a fine value play, but I’m not going too heavy on Lakers tonight given the fact that the blowout risk is real here. Rajon Rondo becomes a chalky play here tonight as well, as he’ll likely draw the start at PG.

For the Warriors, Draymond Green is a GTD tonight so Marquese Chriss, Eric Paschall, and Andrew Wiggins will likely be your 3 main options for the Warriors tonight if he sits again. All 3 of those guys should play heavy minutes and dominate usage. Jordan Poole and Damion Lee are also going to be playing big minutes, with my preference going to Poole here. Ky Bowman and Juan Toscano-Anderson are also deeper GPP plays that could pay off here.

5-star play: Anthony Davis

4-star play: Andrew Wiggins, Eric Paschall, Rajon Rondo, Damion Lee

Deeper Value: Juan Toscano-Anderson, Jordan Poole, Ky Bowman, Avery Bradley, Rajon Rondo

GPP Sleeper: Rajon Rondo
