NBA DFS Picks for October 28, 2026

NBA DFS Picks Overview

Tyrese Maxey More 24.5 Points (Splash Sports)

Tyrese Maxey is off to an excellent start to the 2026-27 NBA season, making his 24.5-point projection an appealing target against Indiana. Through Philadelphia’s first four games, Maxey is averaging 28.8 points per game, clearing this line by 4.3 points per game. He has scored at least 20 points in all four contests, including a 32-point performance against Cleveland on October 22.

Maxey’s workload is another reason to consider the over. He is averaging 37.9 minutes per game and has already established himself as one of Philadelphia’s primary offensive options. He is also adding 4.8 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game, showing his all-around impact while remaining a high-volume scorer.

Pick: More 24.5 points

Yaxel Lendeborg More 28.5 Points, Rebounds + Assists (Betr)

Yaxel Lendeborg has made an impressive start to the 2026-27 season with Golden State, averaging 21.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game through his first four appearances. Those numbers combine for 35.9 points, rebounds, and assists per game, putting him 7.4 above the 28.5 PRA projection.

His production across multiple categories makes this prop particularly interesting. Lendeborg is averaging 33.3 minutes per game, giving him plenty of opportunities to accumulate stats. He is also averaging 15.0 field-goal attempts, and 7.8 free-throw attempts per game, providing a strong scoring foundation that complements his rebounding and playmaking.

Pick: More 28.5 points, rebounds + assists

Karl-Anthony Towns More 22.5 Points (Underdog)

Karl-Anthony Towns is coming off a productive performance that strengthens the case for his points prop against Chicago. In his latest game against Detroit on October 27, Towns finished with 27 points on 12-of-21 shooting, along with 20 rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes. He comfortably cleared Wednesday’s 22.5-point line in that outing.

Before that performance, Towns was averaging 21.0 points per game through his first three appearances of the season. He scored 19 points against Philadelphia on October 20, then recorded 22 points in each of his next two games against Boston and Orlando. His 27-point performance against Detroit represents his best scoring output of the season so far.

Pick: More 22.5 points
