NBA DFS Picks-11/16/19

Welcome back to the Saturday edition of my NBA DFS Picks. My goal with this article is to walk you through the games to find which places we should attack this seven-game slate. You will also pick up some research tips along the way. You will see me make reference to on/off stats as well as rotations. You can find those free tools at NBAWowy and PopcornMachine.net. Ice fishing was going to be on my list of things to do today but the weather warmed up here late in the week so you get my full focus on tonight’s NBA DFS slate. Let’s dig right in.

Achieving his Niche: How Jahlil Okafor Found his Place in the League

The 2015 draft class has progressed to the point where the players have made their names in the league and NBA fans now know who’s relevant and who isn’t.

Introducing Your 2019 Western Conference All-Stars

As a basketball fan, I’ve always found the NBA All-Star Weekend to be one of the more interesting times of the year.

But perhaps the most important thing it does is recognize, in a semi-official capacity, who the best standout performers in the NBA are in any given season.

The Process is over and the Timberwolves Hit Reset: Instant Reaction to the Jimmy Butler Trade

Despite being less than a month old, the 2018-19 NBA season has not been short of drama. We’ve had breakout stars, surprise teams, sensational, even tear-jerking individual performances, and a punch-up between two of league’s highest-profile teams. Now, just when it appeared that the dust had settled after frantic opening few weeks, the basketball world has been turned upside down once again, with All-Star Jimmy Butler being traded by the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Philadelphia 76ers. It was never going to be a dull season, was it?
