Today's Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks for DraftKings NBA Summer League (7/11/23)

Summer League continues with standout performances and injury updates for players.

The Summer League action is in full swing, and it has definitely lived up to expectations with some impressive performances over the weekend and on Monday night. However, there is unfortunate news for Victor Wembanyama, as he will be sitting out the rest of the summer after playing only two games. Despite a rough shooting night on Friday, Wembanyama bounced back on Sunday against the Trail Blazers.

Speaking of the Trail Blazers, their star player Damian Lillard continues to be a hot topic of conversation, even though a potential move for him may be far off. On the other hand, Scoot Henderson is hoping to return to the court for Portland after recovering from a shoulder injury. As of now, his availability for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets is uncertain.

A player to keep an eye on is Brooks, who had a promising rookie season with the Rockets, averaging 11.2 points. However, his performance declined last season, finishing with just 2.6 points in 13 games with the Raptors. Now with the Nets, Brooks has been playing well in July, scoring 17 points against the Cavaliers on Friday and 21 points against the Knicks on Sunday. His impressive shooting from deep also makes him an appealing option for DraftKings NBA contests.

Another player to watch is Tre Mann, who showed flashes of brilliance for OKC last season. Although he didn't consistently produce, he displayed his talent with averages of 15.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.6 steals in five starts. Mann is considered one of the most skilled players in the Summer League and is expected to play a significant role in the rotation. His value as a DFS option could increase if Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren are also sidelined.

Dereon Seabron is another player worth considering for your DFS lineup. Despite his impressive performance of 39 DraftKings points in 28 minutes against the Warriors, his salary has not increased. With an average of over 30 DraftKings points per game in the first two Summer League contests, Seabron is likely to be a popular choice for Tuesday night's games.

For those looking for more NBA DFS tools and content, the NBA Premium package offers daily DFS Cheat Sheets, Research Station, Optimizer, and access to the Premium Slack Chatrooms where members can interact with NBA analysts. The package has proven to be successful, as seen by the big win of RotoBaller premium member Bsuperak on FanDuel using the Premium tools.

A player who has been performing exceptionally well for the Pelicans is Daniels. Despite being priced under 10k, he has been fantastic in the first two games, scoring 57 DraftKings points against the Warriors in just 29 minutes. Daniels is versatile and excels in rebounding for a guard. His ability to contribute in steals and blocks adds to his already impressive ceiling.

Shaedon Sharpe is a player with high potential, especially if Damian Lillard is no longer with the Trail Blazers. Sharpe showcased his skills last season, averaging 18.5 points in 15 starts. Although his shooting percentages in the Summer League haven't been the best, he has been playing significant minutes. Sharpe will likely continue to be a focal point for the Blazers on Tuesday, and his value could increase if Scoot Henderson and Jabari Walker are ruled out.

Lastly, Dominick Barlow of the Spurs has been inconsistent in terms of production in the Sacramento Summer League. However, he has been a reliable fantasy option in the two games in Vegas. In his most recent game against the Trail Blazers, Barlow recorded 17 points, six rebounds, and two blocks in 31 minutes. With Victor Wembanyama out, Barlow has the potential to provide great value in Tuesday night's game against the Washington Wizards.
