Shaun Evans NBA DFS picks for RIVAL Fantasy Bingo contests for November 8th through November 9th. Sign up for RIVAL fantasy and use his NBA DFS Fantasy Bingo picks to win money.
Hello there, 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
Scottie Barnes vs. Dallas Mavericks
Scottie Barnes has been on a mission to start the 2023 season. Almost averaging a double-double with 22.6 points and 9.9 rebounds per game, Barnes has been filling the stat sheet. The assists have been from five to 12 assists per game for him. He also has been covering the floor defensively with two or more blocks per game in five games this season with two or more assists in three of them. Dallas does a pretty good job against small forwards but they still allow them to average 19.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game. Mix that with the pace of play between the two teams, and Scottie Barnes will still find a way to fill the stat sheet.
Anthony Edwards vs. New Orleans Pelicans
Anthony Edwards has been similar to Scottie Barnes when it comes to consistent play. With back-to-back games with 30 or more points, he has barely missed logging a double-double with eight and nine rebounds in those two games. Edwards has notched three games with 30 points or more out of the six on the season. For Minnesota, they get the boost as they play at a faster pace (104 possessions per game) than New Orleans (102.9). Edwards is already starting out the season better than he previously had, looking to continue the consistent play versus the Pelicans.
Tyrese Haliburton vs. Utah Jazz
Time to fill up the assists column as Tyrese Haliburton has turned into a passing machine. Haliburton has started the season with six straight games of 11 or more assists. Only the San Antonio Spurs were able to slow him down in his last game and held him to eight. Getting a boost in pace versus the Utah Jazz will help Haliburton get back on track as the Indiana Pacers play at the third-highest rate with 106.8. One other part of his game that may help with RIVAL Fantasy Bingo is his turnovers. With three or more turnovers in four of the six games, that can help fill those pesky negative play squares on your card. Rounding up all three players, Tyrese Haliburton averages a double-double with 24 points and 11.7 assists per game. More opportunities to fill your bingo cards.
