Daily Fantasy Week 3: The San Antonio Spurs are still undefeated

A lot of twists and turns early in the season

It will be a crazy week for NBA daily fantasy fans.

Match 1: The Oklahoma City Thunder at the Los Angeles Clippers

The Oklahoma City Thunder are still undefeated at 7-0. It would be interesting to see if they would even flinch against the Clippers, a team that has been consistently mid the past few seasons. Having said that, Kawhi Leonard and James Harden are still scoring machines, and they have actually won 3 games already. 

Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:

Captain: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Vice Captain: Kawhi Leonard, James Harden

Key picks: Chet Holmgren, Ivica Zubac

Match 2: The Philadelphia 76ers at the Chicago Bulls

This matchup is a fight for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. The 76ers are performing at a high level, thanks to Tyrese Maxey and breakout star VJ Edgecombe. The Bulls, surprisingly, find themselves with 5 wins in 6 tries.

Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:

Captain: Tyrese Maxey

Vice Captain: VJ Edgecombe / Nikola Vucevic

Key picks: Josh Giddey, Joel Embiid, Kelly Oubre Jr

Match 3: The San Antonio Spurs at the Los Angeles Lakers

The San Antonio Spurs are still undefeated while the entire league tries to figure out how to defend against Victor Wembanyama. The Lakers still do not have LeBron James and Luka Doncic, and they just sat out top scorer Austin Reaves due to an injury. The top-heavy Lakers do not look like they would pose a challenge against the Spurs.

Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:

Captain: Victor Wembanyama

Vice Captain: Stephon Castle

Key picks: Rui Hachimura, Deandre Ayton, Jake LaRavia, Devin Vassell, Derek Harper

Match 4: The Milwaukee Bucks at the Toronto Raptors

The Bucks are playing the middling Raptos in Toronto. Will the triple threat combo of Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes, and RJ Barrett be enough to stop a rampaging Giannis Antetokounmpo? 

Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:

Captain: Giannis Antetokounmpo

Vice Captain: Brandon Ingram

Key picks: Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, Ryan Rollins, Gary Trent Jr.
