Shaun Evans NBA DFS picks for RIVAL Fantasy Bingo contests for November 22nd through November 23rd. Sign up for RIVAL fantasy and use his NBA DFS Fantasy Bingo picks to win money.
Happy Wednesday, RotoBallers, and welcome back to our new series covering RIVAL Fantasy Bingo picks for the NBA Season! We will be covering how to play and the strategies to win.
Fantasy Bingo is a spin on the classic game Bingo but the goal is to match achievements, not numbers. You will build a DFS lineup for the weekly games to unlock the achievements and fill in those squares. You can win by getting five in a row, all four corners, or an entire card blackout.
The prize pool for the weekly slate is distributed among all of the winning cards. They are broken down in two ways. 56% of the prize pool to cards that have five in a row – vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. 44% of the prize pool is for cards that just cover the four corners. Also, the prize pool gets larger as more bingo cards are entered. You can have up to 100 max cards all with different lineups created. Check here for the updated rules and scoring.

RIVAL Fantasy Bingo Strategy
When it comes to Fantasy Bingo and NBA, the strategy will be different than the NFL Strategy. Stacking would go out the window unless the slate is two to three games. Targeting high usage players though is the same. Players who can fill multiple categories on the stat sheet like Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Ben Simmons (surprisingly). On top of that, if players are averaging double-doubles or triple-doubles at a good rate, you'll want to get a piece of that pie as the Bingo Cards may call for it.
Targeting defensive players who are logging more than two blocks or steals per game will be needed also. Those appear at a consistent rate on the Bingo Cards. Players like Chet Holmgren, Victor Wembanyama, Anthony Davis, and Joel Embiid excel at blocks and are averaging more than two per game. For steals, players like Marcus Smart, Donovan Mitchell, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are already recording 2.5 steals a game.
Filling every single category of the stat sheet will be needed as you construct your lineups. Spreading it out between key offensive and defensive players as there is no salary cap for you to be restricted by. Look for games with high totals, teams that play at a fast pace, and players that may get boosts from teammates ruled out due to injuries. You are able to make your lineups throughout the night but waiting for injury news to rule in will be your best route to go before the first game tips off.

RIVAL Fantasy Bingo Picks
Joel Embiid vs. Minnesota Timberwolves
Joel Embiid is currently a walking double-double machine, averaging 32 points and 11 rebounds per game. In fourteen games, Embiid has only missed out on a double-double four times this season. He also holds a usage rate of 36.2% which is currently the third-highest in his career. Both teams currently play near the same pace of 103 possessions per game and with a total of 220 points, many don't expect fireworks. Joel Embiid, with his usage rate though, will have many opportunities to fill his stat sheet as he has done so far this season.
Tyrese Haliburton vs. Toronto Raptors
What an insane performance from Tyrese Haliburton Tuesday night in a high-scoring matchup versus the Atlanta Hawks. Haliburton put on one impressive show as he recorded 37 points and 16 assists in 38 minutes of play. He continued to build on his double-double average for the season and will only do so once again tonight. The Toronto Raptors are currently allowing opposing guards to average 21.7 points, 8.2 assists, and 6.8 rebounds per game. With the second-highest total on the night with 236.5 and a usage rate of 25.4%, Haliburton will be able to continue his dominating 2023-2024 season.
Domantas Sabonis vs. New Orleans Pelicans
Domantas Sabonis is coming off his second-worst game of the season, which was also versus the New Orleans Pelicans. On Monday, Sabonis recorded a light double-double with 10 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists. Now he gets redemption. He is averaging 20 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 7.2 assists on the season with 62.7% field goal shooting. He is a player that can easily fill the Bingo Card and pairing him with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Haliburton can be very successful for Wednesday. His usage rate isn't the highest at 22.7%, but with his presence on the boards, he can be found in multiple stat-filling situations.
