1/27 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!

Los Angeles Lakers @ Philadelphia 76ers
Vegas Total: 218
Vegas Spread: Phi -2.5
Starting with the Lakers, it looks like Anthony Davis will make his return here tonight, and I’d expect him to be limited here but he takes the ceiling off of both Russell Westbrook and LeBron James in what should be a competitive game. Either way I still like LeBron here as he should be able to get whatever he wants against this Philly team. Malik Monk has also been on a recent tear over the past few games and he’s cheap as well on both sites. The return of AD takes Dwight Howard out of play here and outside of those big 4 guys you’re pretty limited on fantasy options here. If you want to get really deep, Austin Reaves will see some decent minutes off the bench and will get you different on a 2 gamer.
Now for the 76ers, the Lakers have been bleeding FPs to opposing bigs, and Joel Embiid is gonna be in a great spot here even with AD back, as I see him being very limited as he’s been out over a month. Tobias Harris is also decently priced here, and if Seth Curry is out again tonight then it’ll make Tyrese Maxey a really solid play. Matisse Thybulle also returned last game and he is a decent value, and if Curry is out, Furkan Korkmaz will also be a solid play if he continues to start. Lastly, if you think this game gets ugly then you can get a few shares of Andre Drummond coming off the bench to get different.
5-star play: LeBron James, Joel Embiid
4-star play: Tobias Harris, Russell Westbrook, Tyrese Maxey, Malik Monk
Deeper Value: Furkan Korkmaz, Andre Drummond, Austin Reaves
GPP Sleeper: Malik Monk

Minnesota Timberwolves @ Golden State Warriors
Vegas Total: 229.5
Vegas Spread: Gsw -6
This is the game that you’ll want to target tonight as it has a massive total and should have plenty of fantasy value here tonight. Anthony Edwards is coming off a monster game, and he is very viable here tonight especially if Pat Beverley is out again tonight. If he were to miss, D’Angelo Russell would also see a nice boost here and he’s decently priced on both sites. Karl-Anthony Towns should also feast here if Draymond is out again, as the Warriors have been getting smashed against bigs with Draymond out because they can’t play small. Jarred Vanderbilt has also been solid and he’s a way to get a bit different here tonight as well. If you’re trying to get different, Jaylen Nowell would see a nice boost if Beverley misses, and even Taurean Prince saw 27 minutes off the bench last game and no one will be on him tonight either.
Now for the Warriors, Stephen Curry has all the upside in the world but he has been ice cold the past few months, but if he gets going here he could very well break the slate. Jordan Poole and Damion Lee would see nice boosts if Klay Thompson were to rest this game, he’s a GTD right now so that is something to keep an eye on. Draymond is likely out again here as well, so that makes Kevon Looney a decent option here as they’ll need his big body on KAT. Otto Porter has also had some solid games as well and he should start in Draymond’s place again here tonight, he should be lower owned. Lastly, Andrew Wiggins is a GPP flyer if you’re playing a lot of lineups, but I’d have more interest in him if Thompson rests.
5-star play: Karl-Anthony Towns, Steph Curry, Anthony Edwards
4-star play: D’Angelo Russell, Otto Porter, Jarred Vanderbilt
Deeper Value: Kevon Looney, Jordan Poole, Damion Lee, Taurean Prince, Jaylen Nowell
GPP Sleeper: Jaylen Nowell, Otto Porter
