The 2024 NBA season tips off on Tuesday, and at DraftKings Network, our hoops squad is fired up and ready to roll for the new season! We’ve expanded our staff to bring you the best coverage from multiple angles including DFS analysis, DraftKings SportsBook picks, season-long advice and all the latest news and analysis to help you find the bottom of the net however you choose to play your fantasy hoops this season.
As part of our preseason coverage, we asked our staff to send us their top picks for the upcoming season. These are “flag picks” for the 2024 NBA season, and you can let us know if you agree or disagree with our selections on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Make sure to check back as the season goes on to see how our staff is doing!
Each member of the staff’s handle is listed next to their name, and you can also find all our staff on this list compiled by Jeff Pratt.
