There are no games scheduled for Tuesday in the NBA, but there are 12 games on Monday, providing a wide range of NBA DFS players to choose from. While stars like LeBron James, Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Jayson Tatum, and Giannis Antetokounmpo are all available as NBA DFS picks for Monday, their high price tags make it difficult to fit them all under the NBA DFS salary cap on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel.
To utilize multiple superstars in NBA DFS lineups, you need to find value picks in other positions. Consider rostering a player like Cason Wallace of the Oklahoma City Thunder, who performed well in the absence of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the last game. Before making your NBA DFS picks, it’s recommended to check out the player rankings, stacks, and advice from SportsLine’s Mike McClure, a DFS professional with extensive experience and winnings in daily Fantasy basketball.
On Sunday, McClure highlighted Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon as one of his top picks, and Brogdon had an impressive performance with 18 points, 11 assists, and seven rebounds. McClure has now turned his attention to Monday’s NBA action and has identified his top daily Fantasy basketball picks.
Top NBA DFS picks for Monday, November 6
One of McClure’s top NBA DFS picks for Monday is Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton, who has been performing at an All-NBA level this season. Haliburton is averaging a career-high of 24.2 points per game and leads the NBA with 12.4 assists per night. In his last game, he tied his career-high with 43 points and 12 assists. Haliburton has a favorable matchup against the San Antonio Spurs, who have been giving up a high number of points this season.
Another player to consider is Hawks forward Jalen Johnson, who is seeing an increased role after the trade of John Collins. Johnson is averaging career-highs in points, rebounds, assists, and steals. He is coming off a career-best performance with 21 points and 11 rebounds, and the Hawks’ fast-paced style of play should benefit him against the Oklahoma City Thunder, who also play at a high pace.
