Best NBA DFS Picks Today: Top DraftKings & FanDuel Plays and Strategy - November 3 | 2022-23 NBA Season
Four teams are in action for Thursday's NBA DFS DraftKings and FanDuel Slates. Both slates begin at 7:00 p.m. EDT tonight. Let's look at the best players to target for both production and value this Thursday, November 3.
NBA DFS Star Picks
Nikola Jokic, C, Denver Nuggets (DraftKings $11.4k, FanDuel $11.5k)
With so few teams on the slate, it is important to target guaranteed production. Nikola Jokic has one of the highest floors around, and even though some of his numbers have been a little down so far, he remains one of, if not the most reliable player, night in and night out. He averages 21 points, 11.1 rebounds, and 8.4 assists, and he can also add a decent number of steals here and there. Expect the two-time MVP to dominate this young Thunder team that lacks quality and depth in their frontcourt.
Other NBA DFS Star Picks: Franz Wagner, SF/SG, Orlando Magic (DraftKings $6.7k, FanDuel $6.8k), Andrew Wiggins (DraftKings $6.8k, FanDuel $8.0k)
NBA DFS Value Picks
Klay Thompson, SG/SF, Golden State Warriors (DraftKings $5.5k, FanDuel $5.2k)
Klay Thompson has had a rough statistical season so far, and as a result, his salary has dropped significantly on both platforms. This makes him a great value play, as he still has the ability to go off in any game. Thompson mainly relies on his perimeter shooting to rack up fantasy points, but he can chip in with a few rebounds, assists, and steals. Tonight, the Warriors take on the rebuilding Magic in Orlando, so look for Klay to have a solid output.

Kevon Looney, C/PF, Golden State Warriors (DraftKings $4.1k, FanDuel $4.4k)
Thompson's teammate Kevon Looney, is another cheap option to target on tonight's slate. Looney had some remarkable Finals performances, and this year he's done decently well in a starting role. The UCLA alum doesn't contribute much by scoring, but he is very capable of tallying a lot of rebounds and several assists by playing on a great jump shooting team. Expect him to have a strong game versus a young Orlando team tonight, and since the Magic have a few seven footers, Looney could see close to 30 minutes of action too.
Other NBA DFS Value Picks: Jamal Murray, PG/SG, Denver Nuggets (DraftKings $5.6k, FanDuel $5.6k), Jalen Suggs, PG/SG, Orlando Magic (DraftKings $5.7k, FanDuel $5.3k)
