NBA DFS Games to Target Today
Here are two games to target for NBA DFS fantasy production today, Monday, November 18.
Bulls vs. Pistons
Time: 7 p.m. ET
How to Watch: NBA League Pass
This is the second game of a back-to-back set for both teams. The Pistons defeated the Wizards by 20 points Sunday, while the Bulls gave up 143 points in a blowout loss to the Rockets.
Teams continue to carve up the Bulls, who have played at the fastest pace (105.79) and have the sixth-worst defensive rating (116.9) in the league. The Pistons don’t have similar issues, posting the sixth-best defensive rating (110.4).
On the injury front, the Bulls continue to play without G Lonzo Ball (wrist). Pistons G Tim Hardaway Jr. (head) has missed three straight games, while Pistons G Ausar Thompson has yet to make his season debut.
PrizePicks Projection to Consider: Pistons G Jaden Ivey 19.5 Points — More
Pacers vs. Raptors
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
How to Watch: NBA League Pass
There should be plenty of points in this matchup. The Raptors have the third-worst defensive rating (117.4), while the Pacers have the eighth-worst defensive rating (116.1). In terms of their offensive prowess, the Pacers have the sixth-highest true shooting percentage (59.2%).
The Raptors have been hammered by injuries. They continue to play without F Scottie Barnes (orbital) and G Immanuel Quickley (elbow). Even key reserves G Bruce Brown Jr. (knee) and F/C Kelly Olynyk (back) are out. It should continue to open up usage for SG Gradey Dick and PF RJ Barrett. For the Pacers, G Ben Sheppard left Sunday’s game against the Heat with an oblique strain, so the quick turnaround might make it difficult for him to play Monday.
PrizePicks Projection to Consider: Pacers G/F Bennedict Mathurin 21.5 Points — More
NBA DFS Picks Today for PrizePicks
Here are three NBA DFS picks to help you build your PrizePicks NBA Lineups for today, Monday, November 18.
Pistons G Cade Cunningham vs. Bulls: 9.5 Assists – More
Pistons G Cade Cunningham finished with a triple-double over just 31 minutes against the Wizards on Sunday. That marked the sixth time over the last eight games that he has posted at least 10 assists.
In the two games that he didn’t reach that number during that span, he just missed with nine assists each. With the Bulls playing at such a fast pace and struggling on defense, this is a great spot for Cunningham to rack up assists again.

Hawks F Jalen Johnson vs. Kings 19.5 Points – More
The Hawks have played at the third-fastest pace (103.96) in the league, which provides a boost to the scoring upside of Hawks F Jalen Johnson. His usage rate has increased to 23.3%, which is more than four percentage points higher than last season. That has helped Johnson score at least 20 points in eight of his last 11 games. He has become the top running mate for Hawks G Trae Young, so don’t expect Johnson’s role to decline in his matchup with the Kings.
Jalen Johnson Projections Today
Here are more Jalen Johnson Projections for NBA DFS on PrizePicks today, Monday, November 18.
Kings G Kevin Huerter vs. Hawks 16 Points – More
Kings F DeMar DeRozan (back) and Kings G Malik Monk (ankle) have already been ruled out for this game. Kings C Domantas Sabonis (back) is also listed as doubtful. With all three out Saturday against the Jazz, Kings G Kevin Huerter scored 18 points. He attempted 14 shots in that game, 12 of which came from behind the arc.
Combine the potential for a higher usage rate with a matchup against the fast-paced Hawks and Huerter could sail past this projection.
