Draftkings NBA Showdown Picks: Wizards vs. Spurs 11/13/24

The NBA presents a regular season matchup featuring the Washington Wizards and the San Antonio Spurs. Let’s take a look at this game from a Draftkings perspective.

Before we dive into the Washington Wizards vs. San Antonio Spurs game let’s review the rules for Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single Game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this evening’s Washington Wizards vs. San Antonio Spurs matchup.

Captain-Jordan Poole, Guard, Washington Wizards $9,200

Washington guard Jordan Poole has been a key contributor to the Washington Wizards offense this season. Let’s review Poole’s recent Game data to better shed light on my previous statement.

More recently, in the Golden State Warriors 125-112 win over the Washington Wizards nine days ago, Jordan Poole certainly played at a high level. Let me be more specific. Poole compiled 24 points, one rebound, three assists, three steals, and four blocks in the Golden State Warriors victory over the Wizards.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the Golden State Warriors victory over the Wizards, Jordan Poole tallied an impressive 44.3 Draftkings points. It has to be said, those are the type of DFS numbers I need to see from a player that I select at the captain position for a Draftkings NBA Showdown contest.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings NBA showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) DFS contest.

For the specific reasons noted, I am backing Washington Wizards point guard Jordan Poole at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NBA Showdown contest.
