The NBA has cleared its schedule for Election Day 2026, resulting in all 30 teams playing on Monday, November 2. With 11 games on the FanDuel main slate and 12 on DraftKings, daily fantasy basketball players have a wide array of options.
Top DFS Picks for Monday
SportsLine's Mike McClure, a DFS professional with over $2 million in career winnings, has identified several key values for Monday's slate. Among his top picks is New York Knicks wing Josh Hart, priced at $5,800 on both platforms. Despite limited scoring upside, Hart is a prolific stat-sheet stuffer who regularly accumulates steals, assists, and rebounds. He faces a favorable matchup against the Brooklyn Nets.
McClure is also building lineups around Orlando Magic wing Desmond Bane, listed at $7,000 on DraftKings and $6,800 on FanDuel. With Paolo Banchero (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (knee) ruled out, Bane is expected to shoulder a heavier scoring load. He has logged at least 34 minutes in each of his last four games, including a 40-minute outing against the Boston Celtics, and offers 20-point upside against the Washington Wizards along with consistent assists and rebounds.
McClure's optimal lineups also feature a high-upside player in an optimal matchup, which he identifies as a potential tournament differentiator. Full rankings, stacks, and advice are available through SportsLine.
