12/9 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!

Utah Jazz @ Philadelphia 76ers
Vegas Total: TBD
Vegas Spread: TBD
This will be the main game that I want to target tonight as this is a pace up game for the Jazz and the Sixers are on the 2nd half of a B2B. Starting with them, Donovan Mitchell is coming off a hot shooting night last night and should be in line for a ton of usage again in this one. Rudy Gobert draws a tough matchup against Embiid, but I like both as they should be battling it out down low all night tonight. Mike Conley is always solid but never flashy, and Bojan Bogdanovic has been getting hot from 3 over the past week or so. Lastly, Royce O’Neale is gonna be in play here on a small slate, especially if the Jazz decides to rest one of their starters.
Now for the Sixers, the main target here is going to be Joel Embiid, as the Jazz have been bleeding FPs to opposing bigs over their last 7 games and he’s coming off a dud game last night. Tobias Harris also has been hot and he will be underowned on this slate especially given how he is priced on both sites. Tyrese Maxey also returned last game after missing their previous one, and he’s decently cheap but the matchup is tough. Seth Curry will need to get it going from 3 here but he is a viable GPP option as well. If you’re looking to get really deep, Shake Milton should see some significant minutes off the bench here and won’t have to face Conley either.
5-star play: Joel Embiid, Donovan Mitchell
4-star play: Rudy Gobert, Tobias Harris, Tyrese Maxey
Deeper Value: Bojan Bogdanovic, Seth Curry, Mike Conley, Royce O’Neale
GPP Sleeper: Shake Milton
Los Angeles Lakers @ Memphis Grizzlies
Vegas Total: TBD
Vegas Spread: TBD
Starting with the Lakers, the obvious plays here are going to be LeBron James and Anthony Davis, as both draw a ton of usage but this game could get ugly with Ja out of the picture. For other plays, Russell Westbrook doesn’t have the same ceiling he used to as long as both those guys are healthy, so I’d even be OK fading him tonight especially on a smaller slate like this. Talen Horton-Tucker and Malik Monk are their main scorers off the bench here as well, with my preference on Monk as he’s been hotter as of late. Lastly, you can get some Dwight Howard if we get word that he is starting again as well but this Lakers team is not very fantasy friendly.
Now for the Grizzlies, its been a bit hectic since Ja went down, but we can count on Jaren Jackson being inconsistent with a super high ceiling, his matchup is definitely tough here tonight. Their guards of Desmond Bane, De’Anthony Melton, Tyus Jones, and Dillon Brooks are all in play here, with my preference being on Bane and Brooks against this Lakers front court. Overall this isn’t a game I’ll be heavily targeting here tonight given the lack of truly good options.
5-star play: LeBron James, Anthony Davis
4-star play: Russell Westbrook, Jaren Jackson, Dillon Brooks
Deeper Value: De’Anthony Melton, Desmond Bane, Tyus Jones, Malik Monk, Talen Horton-Tucker
GPP Sleeper: Dwight Howard, Desmond Bane

Denver Nuggets @ San Antonio Spurs
Vegas Total: TBD
Vegas Spread: TBD
Starting with the Nuggets, they’re on the 2nd half of a B2B, but Nikola Jokic is coming off of a monster game and there’s no reason that he can’t repeat that in this matchup. Will Barton also had a big first half and draws a good matchup here as we all know that the Spurs struggle at containing guards, this also puts Monte Morris into play on a short slate. Aaron Gordon‘s ceiling is gonna be capped as long as Jokic is healthy so he’ll be GPP only and if you’re looking to go really deep here then Jeff Green is seeing significant minutes as a starter, but he is a low usage player in this offense.
Now for the Spurs, their offense stops and starts with Dejounte Murray as he has been their main source of offense, he has a good matchup here as the Nuggets don’t defend PGs well. Jakob Poeltl is also in a tougher spot here as well going up against Jokic, but his price reflects the matchup. Keldon Johnson‘s price is very tempting as well but he can be very scoring dependent so he’s gonna be GPP only basically every night moving forward. Devin Vassell has been solid coming off the bench and is a deeper value play, but he has an injury as well so that is something to keep an eye on, and I always like Derrick White at his price, but he has been overshadowed by Murray a lot this year and the price has finally caught up on both sites. If Vassell were to miss again then it would make Lonnie Walker an interesting GPP value play as well especially on a small slate like this.
5-star play: Nikola Jokic, Dejounte Murray
4-star play: Will Barton, Monte Morris, Jakob Poeltl, Derrick White, Keldon Johnson
Deeper Value: Lonnie Walker, Jeff Green
GPP Sleeper: Lonnie Walker
