Fantasy Basketball Value Picks: Top DraftKings NBA DFS Bargain Plays for Sunday 10/25/26

NBA DraftKings Fantasy Advice

Updated:

By: Alex Hunter

DraftKings’ main NBA DFS slate for Sunday night features four games and begins at 7:00 PM EST. DraftKings continues to offer huge contests for DFS players, and below, I break down some of my favorite NBA DFS bargain plays for Sunday’s NBA action.

Set your DraftKings fantasy basketball lineups here: NBA $150K Fadeaway [$50K to 1st]

C, Paul Reed, Detroit Pistons at Philadelphia 76ers, $4,200

Reed is a core play for this four-game slate with Jalen Duren (hamstring) sidelined. Duren got hurt 10 minutes into this past Friday’s win over the Heat and after he exited the game, Reed operated as the Pistons’ main center and he thrived in the role, posting a double-double of 39.75 FPTS in 26.2 minutes.

Reed started the second half in place of Duren and Reed should draw the start at center tonight vs. the 76ers, who will be without Joel Embiid (foot), making this an appealing matchup. With the former MVP off the floor this season, Philadelphia’s defensive rating slips to 116.9, which would rank 21st in the NBA if it were the 76ers’ average for the season.

Reed made 12 starts for Duren last season and Reed produced 39 FPTS in 26 minutes per game on those occasions. The big man is scoring an elite 1.3 FPTS per minute while shooting 71% from the field this season and Reed is a legitimate threat to score 10-times his salary tonight.

SG/SF, Ayo Dosunmu, Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Toronto Raptors, $5,000

Dosunmu has been excellent as the Timberwolves’ sixth man this season, scoring 26.8 FPTS vs. the Heat and 43.8 FPTS vs. the Magic while logging at least 27 minutes in both these contests.

Dosunmu is handling an 18.7% usage rate and he is leading Minnesota with a 33% assist rate. The veteran is generating 1.3 FPTS per minute and shooting 50% from the field.

Up next, Dosunmu is facing a Raptors defense that is the No. 1-rated unit in the league this season. That being said, Toronto is leading the NBA in pace and this game’s 228.5-point total on DraftKings Sportsbook is the highest on the slate. Dosunmu should cruise past five-times value in this up-tempo spot and he is a terrific bargain at only $5,000, which is the cheapest he has been on DraftKings this season.
