DraftKings NBA Summer League Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (7/10/23): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

July 10, 2023

The top DraftKings NBA Summer League Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks to consider on July 10, 2023. Alex Fischbein provides NBA DFS analysis and sleeper picks for building optimal DFS rosters.

The Las Vegas Summer League is in full swing as every team has played at least one game and now we're onto the second look for some of these prospects. We're also entering the muddy waters of the better players getting more rest and the fringe prospects seeing more opportunities, which can make it hard to put together some DFS lineups.

One thing to look for during any summer league game is whether or not the most experienced players are going to get minutes for any specific night. Big-name rookies from last season are dominating this time around as their confidence has grown, so they're going to be the best bet if managers want to spend big money on one or two players. Outside of them, we're going to take a look at some fresh, new faces that are playing their way onto a roster.

This article will highlight some DraftKings NBA Summer League daily fantasy options to consider for Monday, July 10, 2023. Remember to monitor NBA injury news and our awesome new NBA injuries report tool. Good luck, RotoBallers!

DraftKings Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Jaden Hardy, PG - DAL vs PHI ($10,000)

Hardy may have only played one game in Vegas so far, but he's already the eighth-best scorer out of everyone that has played. On top of that, he played 48 games last year with the Mavericks and shot 43.8% from the floor while knocking down 40.4% of his threes.

The 21-year-old can shoot at high percentages, pick pockets, play passing lanes, and even rebound the ball as a mid-sized combo guard. He'll be on full display against a guard-heavy Sixers team as there isn't much resistance at the rim.

Keyonte George, SG - UTA vs MIN ($9,400)

George is a must-roster guard in the summer league as long as the Jazz keep him in the lineup. He's currently the third-highest scorer in the Vegas summer league after scoring 33 points in his first game, and he's kept the turnovers low throughout the Salt Lake City summer league and through to Vegas.

There's a lot of talk on Twitter and in NBA circles about George being a steal in the draft at 16th overall. He especially should be able to produce a solid stat line against Minnesota's summer roster.

Sharife Cooper, PG - CLE vs MEM ($7,000)

Cooper seems to be a man on a mission this offseason as he tries to prove himself worthy of a full-time NBA contract instead of another two-way as he had with the Hawks over the past two seasons. He came out of college as a volume shooter who could also distribute the ball when needed.

While his shooting percentages aren't always the most efficient, it never keeps him away from scoring and racking up some assists. He'll be pushing the whole game to show his three-level scoring chops and should be able to produce fantasy points since there aren't many negatives for missed shots.

Also Consider: Anthony Black ($9,700), Javonte Smart ($8,500), Jaden Springer ($8,200), Jason Preston ($7,000), Brandon Williams ($6,900)

DraftKings Forwards/Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Ochai Agbaji, SF - UTA @ MIN ($10,100)

Grabbing one of the most well-rounded forwards on the slate is never a bad idea. Agbaji has been proving that he's a tier above almost everyone participating in the Vegas summer league.

He posted a 46.3 fantasy-point game in his first Vegas action and finished either second or third in points, rebounds, and blocks per game during the Salt Lake City league. Agbaji has been a great compliment to Keyonte George and he seems like he's going to continue to improve with each game this offseason.

Kenneth Lofton Jr., PF/C - MEM @ CLE ($9,600)

Lofton has quietly but efficiently put together some very nice fantasy outings this summer. He's shooting the three at a better clip than last year while playing solid defense and shooting some better percentages in Vegas so far.

The 20-year-old dropped 37.5 fantasy points in his first matchup against the Bulls while scoring 23 points and collecting four rebounds, three blocks, and two steals. He saw some time on the court with the Grizzlies last season and will try to show that he can be a real bench piece this coming year. What Lofton lacks in height, he makes up for everywhere else and is still big enough to bang down on the block.

Jake LaRavia, SF - MEM @ CLE ($7,600)

Yes, there's another Grizzly in the forward slot for today's lineups. LaRavia is a former 19th overall pick, and he's looking to add depth to the Grizzlies' wing spot now that they lost Dillon Brooks this offseason.

His all-around game has grown tremendously since last year's action in Las Vegas, and the only negative right now would be his shooting efficiency. The good thing about Draft Kings DFS is that managers don't have to worry about that. He keeps turnovers low, averages 17.3 points per game this summer, and has multiple games of more than one steal and a game with three blocks.

Also Consider: Bennedict Mathurin ($10,200), Keegan Murray ($9,500), Nikola Jovic ($9,300), Orlando Robinson ($9,100) Isaiah Jackson ($8,700), Moussa Diabate ($6,700)
