DraftKings NBA DFS Picks Today, November 27
5 – Tidjane Salaun
Position: SF/PF | Salary: $3,500
Projections: 8.8 Points, 5.6 Rebounds, 1.8 Assists, 1.4 Stocks
None of this screams excitement, but the Hornets are severely shorthanded tonight. With no Tre Mann, Miles Bridges, Grant Williams, Nick Richards or Mark Williams, Salaun should see around 28 minutes — and possibly more if Charlotte runs out of other options. His versatility to play multiple positions makes him a value priority today.
4 – James Harden
Position: PG | Salary: $9,000
Projections: 22.9 Points, 6.3 Rebounds, 8.6 Assists, 1.8 Stocks
This Wizards team the Clippers are playing is flat-out bad defensively, and Harden should have no trouble carving them up. While Norman Powell’s status is still uncertain, it doesn’t significantly impact Harden’s outlook. He’s already drawing considerable ownership, and for good reason — this is an excellent spot for him to shine.
3 – Myles Turner
Position: C | Salary: $6,500
Projections: 18.5 Points, 7.8 Rebounds, 1.7 Assists, 2.8 Stocks
With injuries piling up for the Pacers and uncertainty surrounding Deandre Ayton’s status for the Trail Blazers, Turner is set to benefit. He’s playing as many minutes as he can handle, and even if Ayton is active, it won’t slow Turner down. While the increasing value on this slate could push some players toward stars-and-scrubs builds, Turner is an excellent mid-range option for now.
2 – Brandon Ingram
Position: SG/SF | Salary: $8,400
Projections: 25.9 Points, 5.2 Rebounds, 6.4 Assists, 1.4 Stocks
The Pelicans are riddled with injuries, leaving Ingram as a focal point of their offense if he plays. While his status is still questionable, along with several of his teammates (Trey Murphy, Jordan Hawkins and others), the matchup against Toronto is solid. If he’s active, Ingram’s usage and minutes make him a strong play.
1 – Moussa Diabate
Position: PF/C | Salary: $5,000
Projections: 8.5 Points, 11.3 Rebounds, 1.4 Assists, 2.4 Stocks
Diabate has started three games since Grant Williams went down, consistently logging 30-plus minutes. With Taj Gibson as his only backup, Diabate should once again see heavy minutes as long as he stays out of foul trouble. His power forward eligibility adds even more flexibility, making him an elite value option on this slate.
