NBA pick 'em on Tuesday, Oct. 28: DFS picks include Giannis Antetokounmpo, Stephen Curry, SGA
Here's a look at some top NBA DFS picks for Tuesday's games
There are five games on the NBA schedule for Tuesday, Oct. 28, headlined by a doubleheader on NBC featuring the New York Knicks battling the Milwaukee Bucks and the Los Angeles Clippers taking on the Golden State Warriors. For those interested in NBA daily fantasy sports and NBA pick 'em formats, we'll take a look at our favorite selections for Tuesday's game based on recommendations from the SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every game 10,000 times. If you're looking to get into daily fantasy sports, here's a look at what the best DFS apps are offering.
Giannis Antetokounmpo vs. Knicks: Over 50.5 points + rebounds + assists, at Pick6
The SportsLine Projection Model thinks Antetokounmpo will hit 50.9 PRA, which puts him above the 50.5 mark. The Greek Freak has picked up where he left off last season, averaging 36 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists per game through three games. The Knicks will do their best to slow him down, and they do have some great defensive options to throw at Antetokounmpo, so I do see him being somewhat contained in this matchup. However, he should be able to cross this threshold.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Under 34.5 points, at Pick6
The reigning Finals MVP logged 30 or more points in each of his first three games, including a 55-point outburst against the Pacers. However, two of those contests went to overtime to give the Thunder point guard some additional shot opportunities. Oklahoma City is spreading the ball out more to start this season, with Chet Holmgren and Ajay Mitchell taking more shots. On the second night of a back-to-back set, Gilgeous-Alexander might be just a little bit off with his shot. The SportsLine Projection Model has SGA at 31.6 points for Tuesday's game.
Stephen Curry Over 25.5 points, at Pick6
Curry is good to go on the second night of a back-to-back set, and he only logged 30 minutes in Golden State's win over the Grizzlies on Monday. The legendary point guard averaged 26.7 points per game in three contests against the Clippers a year ago, and he's off to a hot start this season at 33.3 points per game, boosted by his 45.5% clip from the perimeter. He should be able to top this line, though the SportsLine Projection Model has him at 24.9 points to go Over the 24.5 consensus line but not the Pick6 mark.
