Welcome back DFS grinders! I’m excited to announce that NBA SZN is officially back with a huge slate of games! Let me just start off by saying welcome welcome if you are new to the article and Karma. If you are a Showdown Throwdown reader or you are coming back from last year I thank you for the continued support it means a lot to me.

We have early season NBA so always start slow with your Bankroll don’t go all-in on the first week because rotations aren’t always known with every team. You can compare it to preseason and coach talk but it doesn’t always translate until we know for certain. If you play $100 per prop I would tone it down to $50 just for the first week. That being said let’s get right into it.

Favorite Play

Favorite play is 0-1 this season (We got screwed last night by OT Lowry was under for the game but went over in OT)

Bradley Beal OVER 45 fantasy points: Beal is about to go through another couple months without Wall and maybe even get traded before he is back. Beal is a fantasy star when he is on his own and not having to deal with John Wall soaking up usage. The Wizards are also dealing with an injured Isiah Thomas who really was the only other guy on the team that can play. Beal will have another huge year on a high paced bad defensive team that we love in fantasy. With Wall off the court Beal averaged 45 fantasy points per 36 minutes and a 30% usage rate.

Favorite Pairing

Andre Drummond OVER 47 fantasy points: Looks like Blake Griffin is going to miss tonight’s game and probably off the court until November so that means we can load up on Drummond for the potential 20/20 game with B/S upside. Drummond is averaging 51 fantasy pointers per 36 minutes and a 2.6% usage bump with griffin off the court. He’s going up against Indiana where is averaged 21 points and 16 rebounds against last year in 4 games.
