NBA DFS: Top DraftKings, FanDuel daily Fantasy basketball picks for Thursday, Nov. 30 include Bam Adebayo

Fresh off a 25-point and 20-rebound performance on Tuesday against the Hornets, Julius Randle will be back in action as the New York Knicks take on the Detroit Pistons on Thursday. The Pistons are on a staggering 15-game losing streak and that could make Knicks players like Randle and Jalen Brunson a popular NBA DFS stack. However, with three games on the Thursday NBA schedule featuring a total of at least 15 points higher than Knicks vs. Pistons, how much exposure should you have to that contest?

Hawks vs. Spurs features a total that is 29 points higher (247 to 218) than the Detroit vs. New York total, and that will make stars like Trae Young and Victor Wembanyama (questionable) popular options for NBA DFS lineups. So, should you be rostering that pair, or are there better options in the NBA DFS player pool for Thursday night? Before making your NBA DFS picks, be sure to check out the NBA DFS advice, player rankings, stacks and top daily Fantasy basketball picks from SportsLine’s Mike McClure.

Anybody who included him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.

Top NBA DFS picks for Thursday, November 30

For Thursday, one of McClure’s top NBA DFS picks is Spurs center Zach Collins, who is listed at $6,400 on DraftKings and $6,000 on FanDuel. Now in his seventh NBA season and afforded a full-time starting role for the first time in his career, Collins is having his best season so far.

He’s averaging 14.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game over 29.2 minutes per night. On Thursday, Collins and the Spurs will take on an Atlanta defense that ranks 26th in the NBA in points allowed per game (121.5) and 25th in defensive rating (118.6). Both teams also rank top five in the NBA in pace, so expect Collins to have lots of opportunities to impact the stat line.

Another part of McClure’s optimal NBA DFS strategy includes rostering Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo ($9,500 on DraftKings and $9,700 on FanDuel). The two-time All-Star and four-time All-Defensive team selection is having a career year thus far, averaging 23.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game.

The 26-year-old has had a 20-10 double-double in each of his last four games and is coming off a season-high 31 points against the Bucks on Tuesday. He’s had a double-double in 10 of the last 12 games that he’s played and has scored at least 18 points in every contest this season. See McClure’s other NBA DFS picks right here.
