A 10-game slate on tap tonight for some Friday night NBA action. A lot of familiar names filling up the Industry Expert Consensus picks tonight like Andre Drummond, Stephen Curry and Julius Randle. Overall, there is a nice mix of high, middle and low priced options to help DFS players find some different combinations to play tonight. And all four winless teams are in action including two playing each other with the Lakers traveling to Brooklyn to face the Nets.
The numbers in the parenthesis are the number of experts that picked that player to give you more context as to the gaps between players and the tiers. So without further delay here are the Industry Consensus picks for tonight…
Highly Touted
- Marcus Thornton (7) – Cheap option who is getting a lot of minutes with Terrence Jones out
- Andre Drummond (7) – Had 25 points and 29 boards in his last game, almost averaging a 20-20
- J. McConnell (6) – Back-to-back 12 assist games for the inexpensive guard
- Stephen Curry (6) – Top selected high-priced stud
- Julius Randle (6) – His price is creeping up, but he has been solid in every game except one so far this season
Recommended
- Kyle Lowry (5) – Floor general for the undefeated Raptors
- Marcus Morris (5) – Revenge game against old team
- Giannis Antetokounmpo (5) – Making huge strides this season
- Evan Fournier (4) – Playing big minutes and averaging 29.5 points over last 2 games
- Anthony Davis (4) – Struggling a little early this season, but can explode at any time
- Greg Monroe (4) – Capable of a double-double every night
- Bradley Beal (4) – Averaging 25.3 points per game this season
- Brook Lopez (4) – Should be able to do some damage down low against the Lakers
Suggested
- Jerryd Bayless (3) – Seeing more minutes with Michael Carter-Williams out, but not starting tonight
- James Harden (3) – His numbers are a little bit down this year when he starts hitting his 3’s then look out
- Festus Ezeli (3) – Andrew Bogut is still out, making Ezeli a cheap option
- Kristaps Porzingis (3) – The rookie is showing some skills, still inexpensive
- Isaiah Thomas (3) – Put up 27 points last game with Marcus Smart out
- Jarrett Jack (3) – Lakers coming to town which should be good for Jack
- Rudy Gay (3) – Consistent producer at a thin position
- Darren Collison (3) – Starting now and has been productive all season
- Aaron Gordon (3) – Scored career-high 19 points in his last game
- Hassan Whiteside (3) – Capable of putting up an Andre Drummond-like stat line for less money
- Draymond Green (3) – Does a little bit of everything
