Golden State Warriors vs. Boston Celtics
November 6, 2024 7:30 pm EDT
The NBA presents a regular season matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics. Let’s take a look at this game from a FanDuel perspective.
Before we dive into the Golden State Warriors vs. Boston Celtics game let’s review the rules for the FanDuel single game showdown contest.
FanDuel Single Game Contest Rules
Here are the single Game contest rules. You have $60,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team MVP. The MVP accumulates 2x times the standard FanDuel fantasy points value.
The remaining four players in your lineup will be the star, pro, and flex plays. The star player will receive 1.5x the standard fantasy points value. The pro player will accumulate 1.2x the standard fantasy points value.
The final two flex positions will receive the standard points value. Having stated that, it is important for you to identify the correct player for your MVP position if you hope to win a FanDuel single Game contest.
If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game contest, I highly recommend that you check out the FanDuel 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 FanDuel picks for tonight’s Golden State Warriors vs. Boston Celtics matchup.
FanDuel NBA DFS Picks
MVP-Stephen Curry, Guard, Golden State Warriors $14,500
Golden State guard Stephen Curry was the leader in the backcourt that the Golden State Warriors needed to advance to the 2023 NBA playoffs. Let’s take a look at Curry’s game data from the 2023 NBA regular season to better shed light on my previous statement.
In the 74 Games that Stephen Curry played for the Golden State Warriors in the 2023 NBA regular season, Curry averaged a rather impressive 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.4 blocks a Game.
Now that we have determined how Curry played in 2023, let’s shift our focus to this season. In the seven games that Stehpen Curry has played for the Golden State Warriors in the 2024 NBA regular season, Curry is averaging 37.2 FanDuel points a game.
More recently, In the Golden State Warriors dominating 125-112 win over the Washington Wizards two days ago, Stephen Curry played exceptionally well. Let me be more specific. Curry accumulated 24 points, three rebounds, six assists, and one steal.
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the Warriors victory over the Wizards just mentioned, Stephen Curry tallied 34.6 FanDuel points.
In summary, I fully expect Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry to post quality fantasy numbers in tonight’s regular season matchup with the Boston Celtics. For that specific reason, I am backing Stephen Curry at the MVP position for this one game FanDuel NBA DFS contest.
Star-Jayson Tatum, Forward, Boston Celtics $16,000
How important has Jayson Tatum been to the Boston Celtics success on the offensive side of the basketball this season? Let’s take a look at Tatum’s game data from the 2024 NBA regular season to answer that question.
In the eight games that Jayson Tatum has played for the Boston Celtics in the 2024 NBA regular season, Poole is averaging a whopping 52.6 FanDuel points a game.
It is noteworthy that the Boston Celtics have announced that forward Jaylen Brown has been ruled out of this evening’s game due to a hip injury. In my opinion, the absence of Brown should open up more offensive opportunities for Jayson Tatum.
Additional flex plays I like to play well in this evening’s NBA game (FanDuel price noted): Buddy Hield, Guard (Golden State Warriors) $12,000: Payton Pritchard, Guard (Boston Celtics) $9,500.
