FanDuel Best NBA DFS Picks: Warriors vs. Wizards 11/4/24

This Monday night, the NBA presents a regular season matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Washington Wizards. Let’s take a look at this game from a FanDuel perspective.

Before we dive into the Golden State Warriors vs. Washington Wizards 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. Washington Wizards matchup.

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks

MVP-Stephen Curry, Guard, Golden State Warriors $10,200

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 Golden State Warriors dominating 127-86 win over the Utah Jazz ten days ago, Stephen Curry played exceptionally well. Let me be more specific. Curry accumulated 20 points, three rebounds, four assists, and two steals.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the Warriors victory over the Jazz just mentioned, Stephen Curry tallied 32.6 FanDuel 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 MVP position for a FanDuel NBA single game contest.

Earlier today, the Golden State Warriors officially announced that talented guard Stephen Curry is questionable for tonight’s Game. I recommend that all readers check the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your lineups for this Draftkings NBA DFS contest.

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

In summary, I fully expect Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry to post quality fantasy numbers in tonight’s regular season matchup with the Washington Wizards. For that specific reason, I am backing Stephen Curry at the MVP position for this one game FanDuel NBA DFS contest.

Star-Jordan Poole, Guard, Washington Wizards $15,000

How important has guard Jordan Poole been to the Washington Wizards success on the offensive side of the basketball this season? Let’s take a look at Poole’s Game data from the 2024 NBA regular season to answer that question.

In the five games that Jordan Poole has played for the Washington Wizards in the 2024 NBA regular season, Poole is averaging 38.5 FanDuel points a game.

Additional flex plays I like to play well in this evening’s NBA game (FanDuel price noted): Jonathan Kuminga, Forward (Golden State Warriors) $10,000: Bilal Coulibaly, Shooting Guards (Washington Wizards) $13,000: Andrew Wiggins, Guard (Golden State Warriors) $12,500.
