With the DFS industry becoming increasingly reliant on data analytics, it is more important than ever to incorporate real data into your daily picks. In an effort to keep up with the current trend, we at Hoop-Ball have built our own personal database that we use to build models and formulas to help us identify strong DFS plays.

While many DFS players have resorted to using models and computer programs to make picks and set lineups automatically, we set ourselves apart by incorporating basketball knowledge and expertise into our daily picks. This will be a daily article aimed to give our readers some of the best values that we were able to identify heading into the games.

Below are some of the players that we were able to identify:

• Damian Lillard – Lillard is primed to have a big night against a Sacramento Kings team fresh off a loss the night before.
• Rodney Hood – Orlando has struggled early, and Hood should be able to justify his low price of $5400 on FanDuel
• Andre Roberson – at $3600, Roberson should be fully capable of providing adequate value, and provides a great cheap option for DFS players.
• Andre Drummond – Without someone to match his physicality, Drummond could be headed for a big night against San Antonio.
• Derrick Favors – At $5900 on FanDuel, Favors represents one of the better risk/reward players of the night.
• Dario Saric – Philadelphia struggles to find their offense, and have recently leaned on Saric to provide for them in multiple categories.  Another solid low-cost pickup for tonight’s action.
