11/28 NBA DFS 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 last season, so 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 @Mutt18 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. We also have NEW pricing options, where you can sign up for WEEKLY access as opposed to be committed for a full month, so you have no excuse to try us out! With that said, let’s get it started!

Golden State Warriors @ Los Angeles Clippers
Vegas Total: 215.5
Vegas Spread: Gsw -2.5
Starting with the Warriors, Stephen Curry has been on a tear all year long, and the Warriors will likely be shorthanded again here tonight, so he’s a great option for your Captain in showdown. Jordan Poole has also stepped up big time here, but he is scoring dependent so he’s gonna be a GPP only play for me moving forward especially with Klay coming back soon. Kevon Looney has seen an increase in minutes and if the Clippers are fully healthy here I could see him being sneaky as they do have some size. Draymond Green has also been playing very well, and he’s been fantastic especially at his price on FanDuel and the Warriors could go small here. For value plays, Gary Payton and Otto Porter are gonna be the main targets here, and Juan Toscano-Anderson as well.
Now for the Clippers, Paul George has elite usage with Kawhi out, and isn’t showing any signs of slowing down in the scoring department, he’s a premier option for your Captain today. Ivica Zubac‘s minutes have been trending in the wrong direction, so he’ll likely be a fade for me here, especially as the Warriors like to play small, and with Serge Ibaka back it’ll allow them to matchup better there. Terance Mann is a solid option off the bench, as the ceiling is sky high but the consistency is just really bad. Nic Batum and Luke Kennard are also some decent GPPs plays here, with my preference being on Batum, but he did miss last game so keep an eye there. Eric Bledsoe and Reggie Jackson are basically a coin flip at this point as well as to who is going to have the better game, but I don’t have a ton of interest in either tonight, but Bledsoe has the higher upside of the two.
5-star play: Stephen Curry, Paul George
4-star play: Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole, Draymond Green, Reggie Jackson
Deeper Value: Eric Bledsoe, Serge Ibaka, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Otto Porter
GPP Sleeper: Serge Ibaka, Luke Kennard
Milwaukee Bucks @ Indiana Pacers
Vegas Total: 217.5
Vegas Spread: Mil -2
Starting with the Bucks, this is probably going to be my favorite game to target tonight, as it should be highly competitive and fast paced with how these two teams play. Giannis Antetokounmpo has been on an absolute tear lately, and even at his price on both sites I want shares of him as this could be a 70+ FP game. Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday are also going to be really solid plays here as one of the two will also likely go off, but it is a coin flip as to which one. Grayson Allen is also in play for value as well here as he can fill it up if he gets hot from 3. Bobby Portis has a tougher matchup here against Turner but he is in play for GPPs as well, and if you need value, Pat Connaughton has been playing some really solid minutes off the bench.
Now for the Pacers, my main target here is going to be Malcolm Brogdon, as both sites refuse to raise his price for whatever reason and you have the revenge factor here against his old team. Domantas Sabonis is also in play here, but I’m not as high on him as he’ll have a tough time against Giannis. The Myles Turner experiment could also make or break the slate here, as this is a great matchup for him but he is so volatile that he could also bust. Chris Duarte continues to see solid minutes as well, as does Caris LeVert, but the two eat into each other’s ceilings so I’m not too high on either here, but they are both in play for GPPs at their respective prices. I likely won’t be targeting anyone coming of the Pacer bench, but if I do it’ll be TJ McConnell.
5-star play: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Malcolm Brogdon
4-star play: Domantas Sabonis, Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton, Myles Turner
Deeper Value: Caris LeVert, Chris Duarte, TJ McConnell, Grayson Allen, Pat Connaughton
GPP Sleeper: Pat Connaughton

Boston Celtics @ Toronto Raptors
Vegas Total: TBD
Vegas Spread: TBD
Starting with the Celtics, with Robert Williams out for a few more games all of the frontcourt duties will be handled by Al Horford and TOR is not great against bigs so I like his chances here tonight. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown really eat into each other’s ceilings, but my preference would be on Brown as he is the cheaper of the two and has similar upside. Dennis Schroder also returned to the starting 5 last game, and if he starts again I’ll have some interest there as well. Overall, this Celtics team is not too fantasy friendly tonight outside of Horford, but if you need a value play, Grant Williams is in play if he starts in Williams’ absence.
From the Raptors, Scottie Barnes has been doing a little of it all for the Raptors, and he would see a nice boost if OG Anunoby is out again here tonight, he is a GTD so it is something to monitor. Pascal Siakam has also been playing well, and this matchup sets up nice for him as the Celtics are thin in their frontcourt with Robert Williams out for a few more games. Fred VanVleet has been really good so far this year, and they’re gonna need him to continue to lead this offense here, him and Siakam will be my main targets here tonight. Lastly, Precious Achiuwa is a GTD here again, if he were to miss then Khem Birch would likely start, but he did play last game so I think he’ll be fine here. Chris Boucher is also in play for value, but the matchup isn’t in his favor either, he needs one of Achiuwa or Birch out to be viable.
5-star play: Fred VanVleet
4-star play: Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Pascal Siakam, Scottie Barnes, Dennis Schroder
Deeper Value: Grant Williams, Khem Birch, Precious Achiuwa
GPP Sleeper: Pascal Siakam
Sacramento Kings @ Memphis Grizzlies
Vegas Total: TBD
Vegas Spread: TBD
Starting with the Kings, this should be another solid game even with Ja out here. De’Aaron Fox has really picked it up as of late, and he’s getting the minutes which is the biggest thing, really love him in this spot tonight. Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield are also big time plays here tonight, as Barnes is already doubtful so they both should see big minutes, I especially like Hield here. Richaun Holmes missed last game as well, and if he were to do so again then I’d have some interest in the trio of Marvin Bagley, Alex Len, Tristan Thompson, and Chimezie Metu in that order. Moe Harkless also went down last game, which will also open up minutes for both Davion Mitchell and Terence Davis as deeper GPP value plays.
Now for the Grizzlies, they took a big hit last game with Ja Morant going down, and he’ll likely be out a week or two which will open up a ton of usage. The main beneficiaries are going to be Dillon Brooks, Desmond Bane, De’Anthony Melton, and Tyus Jones. All 4 of those guards are in play here tonight, with my preference being on the ones who start in Ja’s place. Jaren Jackson Jr. is in play here for sure, as SAC is horrible against bigs and he’ll have to pick up some of the Ja slack. Kyle Anderson is even in play here with Ja out, and Brandon Clarke has also seen a nice increase in minutes the past few games as Steven Adams is losing favor with this coaching staff. Keep an eye on news here as to who starts in Ja’s place tonight.
5-star play: De’Aaron Fox
4-star play: Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield, Dillon Brooks, De’Anthony Melton
Deeper Value: Desmond Bane, Tyus Jones, Brandon Clarke, Marvin Bagley, Tristan Thompson, Chimezie Metu, Alex Len
GPP Sleeper: Davion Mitchell, Terence Davis
Detroit Pistons @ Los Angeles Lakers
Vegas Total: 216.5
Vegas Spread: Lal -10.5
Starting with the Pistons, they’re looking a bit better as the year goes on, but they are still pretty bad. Cade Cunningham is starting to show why he was the #1 overall pick, the price is starting to come up but for good reason as the production has been fantastic over the last 5 games and he’s still a bit too cheap especially with how bad the Lakers are against PGs. Jerami Grant is also a big factor on this team, and always goes under owned, could be a GPP winner here as well, I always love playing him in that 7K range in GPPs. Isaiah Stewart has been playing much better with Olynyk out, and we have the revenge factor here after what happened with LeBron last week. Saddiq Bey is also in play but he is a streaky shooter, I don’t love his price but there is some upside there but it comes with the risk of a low floor if his shot isn’t falling.
From the Lakers, LeBron James is a GTD again here (afraid of Isaiah Stewart) so keep an eye on news, it wouldn’t shock me if he were to miss this game with how soft he is. Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis would be the biggest beneficiaries if he were to miss again tonight, but AD is a GTD as well, but he always is and usually plays, still something to monitor. This game could get a bit ugly, but I’d want to target more if LeBron is out. Talen Horton-Tucker has hung onto his starting job even with LeBron back as well, his ceiling is limited if he is in, but he’ll likely be a core play for me if LeBron were to miss. You can round out your Lakers deeper GPP options with Rajon Rondo and Malik Monk coming off the bench as well.
5-star play: Cade Cunningham, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook
4-star play: Jerami Grant, Isaiah Stewart, Russell Westbrook, Talen Horton-Tucker
Deeper Value: Rajon Rondo, Malik Monk, Saddiq Bey
GPP Sleeper: Cade Cunningham
