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:
Milwaukee Bucks @ Charlotte Hornets
Vegas Total: TBD
Vegas Spread: TBD
Giannis Antetokounmpo is gonna be your main target here, as he is coming off a down game last time out as he didn’t see the floor in the 4th as the Bucks blew out OKC. He did play less than his usual minutes though so he should be ready to go this afternoon, although I don’t see this one staying too close here. Khris Middleton is the main beneficiary when he is off the floor, and is their #2 on offense. Eric Bledsoe is also a bit underpriced here but I don’t love his ceiling going up against a lowly Charlotte team. There really isn’t a ton of value on this Bucks team though with all of those starters back and healthy. Maybe some Robin Lopez if Brook is out here, but some Donte DiVincenzo and Pat Connaughton could make sense if you think this game is a blowout.
For the Hornets, they draw a really tough matchup here and I’d consider a fade here altogether as they can’t hang with this Bucks team. Devonte’ Graham has been their main source of offense though, and Miles Bridges has been on a tear since winning MVP at the Rising Stars game. Terry Rozier has looked awful since the ASB, but he’s cheap on FanDuel so I can see you going there. Cody Zeller has also been starting, but he draws a really difficult matchup here as well. I’ll like Bismack Biyombo a bit if Zeller doesn’t suit up here.
5-star plays: Giannis Antetokounmpo
4-star plays: Khris Middleton, Eric Bledsoe, Devonte’ Graham, Miles Bridges
Deeper Value: Donte DiVincenzo, Terry Rozier, Pat Connaughton
GPP Sleeper: None
Dallas Mavericks @ Minnesota Timberwolves
Vegas Total: TBD
Vegas Spread: TBD
I like the idea of targeting this game, as it should be somewhat competitive with the Wolves at home. Luka Doncic is going to be your main target here, as he should be ready to go after a few days after his 21st birthday party. Kristaps Porzingis has also been playing great basketball lately and I like even pairing the two here. I don’t really love much outside of these two here though, as I’d rather play more from the Minnesota side of the ball.
For the Wolves, D’Angelo Russell is going to be your main target here, as he has a 30+% usage rate and is the leader of this team with KAT out. Malik Beasley and Juancho Hernangomez have also stepped up their play as of late as well. Naz Reid should see some solid run here as well as long as he stays out of foul trouble. Kelan Martin also makes sense for a cheap option coming off the bench as he can fill it up in a hurry if Naz gets into foul trouble. James Johnson will also see solid run if Naz can’t keep his hands to himself and has some nice upside here.
5-star play: Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis, D’Angelo Russell
4-star play: Malik Beasley, Juancho Hernangomez
Deeper Value: Naz Reid, Kelan Martin, James Johnson
GPP Sleeper: Naz Reid

Philadelphia 76ers @ Los Angeles Clippers
Vegas Total: 218.5
Vegas Spread: LAC -13.0
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. I don’t like the odds of them hanging around here though, as the Clippers are already favored by 13 points this early in the day.
For the Clippers, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are going to be your main two options here, and if one of them sits, you can play the other. If either of them are out it is also a major boost to Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell as they’ll both see increased roles and minutes. They’re also both in play if you think this game gets out of hand as well. Not much else to like here though. Pat Beverley is also a bit cheap everywhere if he does indeed play tonight.
5-star play: Tobias Harris, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George
4-star play: Lou Williams, Montrezl Harrell, Josh Richardson, Pat Beverley
Deeper Value: Alec Burks, Shake Milton, Furkan Korkmaz
GPP Sleeper: Shake Milton
Toronto Raptors @ Denver Nuggets
Vegas Total: TBD
Vegas Spread: TBD
Pascal Siakam is going to be your main play here, as he has been playing really well but I don’t think he has a crazy ceiling against this Nuggets team especially in the altitude in Denver. Kyle Lowry also gets a great matchup here, as the spot to attack the Nuggets is at the PG position. Fred VanVleet is also firmly in play for GPPs, but I prefer Lowry, but VV will also see some nice usage with the 2nd unit as well. Serge Ibaka is also a nice GPP play but he is a bit volatile even with Marc Gasol still out. There’s not a ton to love here on the Raptors side of the ball. If Ibaka is out again tonight then you play Chris Boucher or Rondae Hollis-Jefferson depending on who starts, you play the one who starts. If Ibaka is out, OG Anunoby also makes for a nice value play with serious upside.
For the Nuggets, it looks like Will Barton is back here, which bumps down Michael Porter Jr. He’s a decent value especially on FanDuel. Nikola Jokic should have a solid game here, but I don’t really want to pay up at C here tonight, especially given that this should be one of the slower paced games on the night. Jamal Murray draws a solid matchup here, as the Raptors have been more susceptible to PGs over the past few weeks. Gary Harris has looked off the past few weeks. That’s about all I really like from the Nuggets here. Maybe some Jordan McRae if you’re feeling frisky on a Sunday
5-star play: Nikola Jokic, Pascal Siakam
4-star play: Will Barton, Jamal Murray, Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet, Serge Ibaka (if he plays)
Deeper Value: Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (if he starts), Gary Harris, OG Anunoby
GPP Sleeper: OG Anunoby (if Ibaka is out)
Detroit Pistons @ Sacramento Kings
Vegas Total: 216
Vegas Spread: SAC -7.5
For the Pistons, your main target is likely going to be Christian Wood here, as he’s really taken over for this team and is their main option on offense. The blowout risk is real here, but his minutes should be blowout proof either way. Derrick Rose is also going to be in play for GPPs here, as he has elite upside as long as he plays, but he looks like he’s tired at this point in the season. Thon Maker also draws a favorable matchup here, and has actually been playing pretty well since Drummond left town. Langston Galloway will also continue to play big minutes off the bench and is a deeper GPP play as well.
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 likely lean on his defense here as the Pistons are quite loose with the ball. 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. Harry Giles is also continuing to see solid minutes and is a great FPPM player.
5-star play: De’Aaron Fox
4-star play: Nemanja Bjelica, Harrison Barnes, Buddy Hield, Christian Wood, Derrick Rose
Deeper Value: Harry Giles, Kent Bazemore, Langston Galloway
GPP Sleeper: Harry Giles
Los Angeles Lakers @ New Orleans Pelicans
Vegas Total: TBD
Vegas Spread: TBD
Your main target is going to be Anthony Davis and LeBron James as always, but I’ll be shocked if not at least one of them sits 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 also makes sense if LeBron is out tonight.
Brandon Ingram is back and healthy, which will put a cap on both he and Zion Williamson’s ceiling, but both are great plays here as they want to show they can compete with the Lakers, especially Ingram. Lonzo Ball and Jrue Holiday are also in play here, but with Ingram back it also limits Holiday’s ceiling as well. We have a revenge narrative for Lonzo as well along with Josh Hart, who should still see some big minutes off the bench, and this should be one of the highest scoring games on the night. Derrick Favors also draws a decent matchup here, but I don’t love anyone against AD.
5-star play: Anthony Davis, LeBron James
4-star play: Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson, Lonzo Ball, Jrue Holiday
Deeper Value: Avery Bradley, Rajon Rondo, Alex Caruso, Josh Hart
GPP Sleeper: Rajon Rondo
Washington Wizards @ Golden State Warriors
Vegas Total: TBD
Vegas Spread: TBD
Your main target here is going to be Bradley Beal, as he has been on an absolute tear over the past few weeks and the matchup doesn’t get much better here. I also think Shabazz Napier will thrive in this game as well. Thomas Bryant and Ian Mahimni both draw great matchups here, along with Rui Hachimura but none of them really pop out at me. Davis Bertans should also see a ton of open looks here, so he’s in play for GPPs as well.
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, although he was out last night. Juan Toscano-Anderson also makes for a deeper GPP plays that could pay off here.
5-star play: Andrew Wiggins, Bradley Beal
4-star play: Shabazz Napier, Damion Lee, Eric Paschall, Draymond Green
Deeper Value: Juan Toscano-Anderson, Jordan Poole, Davis Bertans
GPP Sleeper: Juan Toscano-Anderson
