FanDuel Best NBA DFS Picks: Wizards vs. Magic 11/10/24

The NBA presents a regular season matchup featuring the Washington Wizards and Orlando Magic. Let’s take a look at this game from a FanDuel perspective.

Before we dive into the Washington Wizards vs. Orlando Magic 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 this evening’s Washington Wizards vs. Orlando Magic matchup.

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks

MVP-Franz Wagner, Forward, Orlando Magic $15,000

How important has Orlando forward Franz Wagner been to the Orlando Magic this season? Let’s take a look at Wagner’s game data from the 2024 NBA regular season to answer that question.

In the nine games that Franz Wagner has played for the Orlando Magic in the 2024 NBA regular season, Wagner has averaged a massive 34.6 FanDuel points a game.

Four days ago, in the Indiana Pacers 118-111 win over the Orlando Magic, Franz Wagner played exceptionally well. More specifically, Wagner compiled a robust 28 points, eight rebounds, and six assists in the Indiana Pacers victory over the Orlando Magic. 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 contest.

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

In suMMAry, I think Franz Wagner is the most likely player to post the most FanDuel points in this this evening’s NBA regular season Game. For that specific reason, I am backing Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner at the MVP position for this one Game FanDuel NBA Showdown contest.

Star-Jordan Poole, Guard, Washington Wizards $14,500

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.

In the seven games that Jordan Poole has played for the Washington Wizards in the 2024 NBA regular season, Poole is averaging 20.7 points. 1.3 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 2.4 steals a game.

More recently, in the Washington Wizards dominating 133-120 win over the Atlanta Hawks two weeks ago, Jordan Poole certainly played at a high level. Let me be more specific. Poole compiled 24 points, three rebounds, nine assists, and three steals in the Washington Wizards victory over the Atlanta Hawks.

Additional flex plays I like to play well (FanDuel price noted): Jalen Suggs, Point Guard (Orlando Magic) $14,000: Carlton Carrington, Point Guard (Washington Wizards) $11,500: Goga Bitadze, Center (Orlando Magic) $12,000.
