NBA DFS Picks for Today

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (PG) — $10,300

The Oklahoma City Thunder travel to Memphis, where Shai Gilgeous-Alexander offers a high-usage foundation for lineups. His scoring and playmaking give him more than one avenue to a strong fantasy outing, and his ability to generate free throws can stabilize his production even when shots are not falling.

At $10,300, he needs a substantial performance to deliver value, but he's the type of high-ceiling guard worth building around.

Joel Embiid (C) — $8,600

The Philadelphia 76ers face Cleveland, and Joel Embiid provides significant rebound and scoring upside at a salary a bit below the slate’s top tier. He pulled down 15 rebounds against Detroit in his most recent game and has produced four double-doubles in seven appearances this season.

That multi-category production can be especially valuable at center.

Ayo Dosunmu (SG) — $6,700

With Anthony Edwards sidelined, Ayo Dosunmu has stepped into a starting role for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Across his last five starts, he has averaged 34.2 minutes, 19.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.0 steals, providing production in several FanDuel scoring categories.

He has topped 37 fantasy points in four of those five starts. In a soft matchup against New Orleans, Dosunmu’s increased workload makes his midrange salary particularly interesting.

AJ Dybantsa (SF) — $6,000

Rookie AJ Dybantsa brings tournament-winning upside for the Washington Wizards in a rematch with Atlanta. Over his first three appearances of the season, he has averaged 19.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 steals, showing a balanced fantasy profile rather than relying on solely scoring.

He managed nine points, six rebounds and three assists in his previous meeting with Atlanta, illustrating the volatility that comes with a young player. But $6,000, he is a high-upside play and could be asked to do a lot more on offense if Anthony Davis (questionable) sits.

Kyshawn George (SG) — $5,800

The Wizards also have a useful lower-salary option in Kyshawn George, who enters today averaging 17.3 points through eight games while shooting 51% from the field. His ability to add rebounds, assists and defensive statistics can raise his FanDuel ceiling beyond what his points alone suggest.

Atlanta's up-tempo approach gives him another reason to draw attention in this matchup, and like Dybantsa, George’s outlook would be even rosier if AD is out.

Myles Turner (C) — $5,100

At $5,100, Myles Turner is one of the more attractive salary-saving center options on the slate. The Milwaukee Bucks’ big man has cleared 30 fantasy points in three straight games, including a 42.8-point performance against Boston in his last outing.

Turner's ability to contribute with rebounds and blocked shots makes him valuable even without a huge scoring night.
