NBA DFS August 5 Lineup: DFS And Fantasy Team Picks, Studs, Values, Projections, Match Centre And Probable Playing 5. League’s most packed day sees games take place throughout the day

Black Lives Matters might be a hinderance to the league and has subsequently resulted in the NBA’s viewership crash since the return of the league but the one thing the movement has not hampered is the intriguing action on the court. The bubble has seen some scintillating games take place, scrimmages which have regaled us in an enthralling brand of basketball.

And the rigorous schedule means the action continues unabated this Wednesday with today seeing a fully packed day of games. With six games evenly spread out across the day, we’ll have basketball all across the day, a narrative which saw us get down to chart out today’s gameplan for our DraftKings’ NBA DFS side. 

NBA DFS August 5 Lineup

Point Guard 

Stud

Kyle Lowry, 8,400

33 points, 6 assists and the 14 rebounds to go with those numbers mean Kyle Lowry from the Raptors was always going to be a must have pick for us for the day’s square off. The team’s point guard is an imperious performer, someone who has spearheaded his side’s attacking facet with his ability to cajole his way the layups for his counterparts.

Shooting Guard

Value

Evan Fourier, 5,200

The Orlando man began the restart of the league with a staggering 24 points against the Nets and ever since then, he’s only gone for strength to strength for the side with his ability to shoot from the deep making him a must have pick for the outing.

Troy Brown, 5,500

Brown’s fixture against Philadelphia is what really enticed us today. The player is up against a side which has shipped in a harrowing 123 points, a number which alluded towards how the side has faltered in its bid to chalk its way past troubled waters.

It’s a backline Troy is going to absolutely love playing against, a defence he can easily clobber with his ability to line up filed points with a high conversion rate.

Small Forward

Value

Luguentz Dort, 3,200

Our cheapest pick of the day, Dort’s incredible ability to cox his way the defensive points sees us move in for him. He’s someone who can not only defend inside the paint but come up with turnovers and steals outside of it as well, traits which make him sublime value.

Power Forward

Stud

Anthony Davis, 10,300

The most expensive pick for us today, there was no way we could let slip Davis out of our hands today. His side must have been rocked by a defeat the last time around but the game only saw Davis go from strength to strength for his side as he dropped a behemoth 42 game on the day.

Value

Jerami Grant, 4,500

With 19 points in his foregone skirmish, Grant showed why he can be such a tricky name to defend against. Not only is he capable of pulling of alleyoops but the player has gotten on the end of attacking rebounds as well along with winning free throws for his side.

Centre

Stud

Nikola Jovic, 9,300

30 points, 10 assists and 12 rebounds for Nikola the last time he stepped out on the middle make him someone we just can’t leave out for today’s imminent outing. The centre is a force to be reckoned with, a player whose well endowed and well rounded skill set has seen him emerge as one of the most pristine centres in the showpiece league.

Value

Georges Niang, 3,200

Up against a Memphis side yet to register a win since the restart of the league, Georges Niang is someone we just couldn’t ignore. The player’s attributes have seen him clobber sides,
