The NBA has an exciting nine-game slate set for Friday, which marks the first regular season action since the All-Star Break for most teams. Rookie phenom Zion Williamson will look to build off his strong All-Star Weekend showing by putting together his third-straight 30-point performance against the Portland Trail Blazers. Sportsbooks are projecting a shootout, as the 236-point over-under is the highest on the slate. Should you target Williamson with your NBA DFS picks?
Other top options in Friday's NBA DFS player pool include LeBron James, Bradley Beal, and Hassan Whiteside, all of whom are in advantageous matchups but are also among the most expensive players. Building optimal NBA DFS stacks will be an important part of Friday's NBA DFS strategy.

Top NBA DFS stacks for Friday
On Friday, Gibbs is targeting three games for his NBA DFS stacks. He has his eye on a potential shootout in Minnesota between the Celtics and Timberwolves.
"With Kemba Walker and Karl-Anthony Towns both out, there is a ton of value on both sides of the ball," Gibbs told SportsLine.
If you're stacking the Celtics, Gibbs says to bring it back with appealing options on the Minnesota side of the ball, too. "D'Angelo Russell finished with 100 touches and 58 DraftKings points with Towns sidelined in Minnesota's last game. He projects to be among the highest usage players for any team on Friday, but his price doesn't reflect that. He and fellow newcomers Malik Beasley and Juancho Hernangomez all stand out as values who may go overlooked on a larger slate."
How to pick optimal NBA DFS stacks
Gibbs is also targeting a team stack facing one of the worst defenses in the NBA. These players are primed to explode, giving you tournament-winning value on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel. You can only see who they are at SportsLine.
