Macro NBA Defensive Stats
- CHI and MIL are the top FPPM boosts to opposing teams as they are playing some absolutely putrid defense. You can make a case for multiple Spurs but this game might get out of hand. As for the Lakers, with both Luka and Reaves in the only DFS relevant players so far have been Luka or Walker Kessler. Unfortunately, both of them are priced at about their max.
- IND and WAS are two alternative teams to consider. WAS has been one of the worst defenses in the league going back to last year and things haven’t improved much. On the other side IND isn’t awful, but is still a marginally positive boost.
- The Knicks, Spurs, and Celtics are 3 defenses to avoid on this slate. While it’s easy to cross off the Cavs, due to injury/rest there might still be value on the Bulls and Raptors that can be played even in a less than ideal spot.
