DraftKings and FanDuel have single game NBA DFS slates for tonight’s matchup between the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Clippers. These slates begin at 10:00 p.m. EDT tonight. Let’s look at the best players to target for both production and value this Sunday, October 16.
NBA DFS Picks
Ivica Zubac, C, Los Angeles Clippers (DraftKings $7.4k, FanDuel $12.5k)
Ivica Zubac averages a double-double entering tonight’s contest. He’s at exactly 10 points per game and 11.6 rebounds while also adding 2.8 blocks, the second-most in the league. Last game in San Antonio, Zubac ended with 17 points, 15 boards, and four blocks. While the big man won’t consistently score like this, he can be relied on for rebounds and blocks game in and game out. Tonight, Zubac and the Clippers host the Jazz, who start Kelly Olynyk at center, who isn’t known for his defensive police. Zubac saw 36 minutes last game, and at the moment, LA has some injury woes, so expect the seven-footer to play big minutes and produce tonight.
Lauri Markkanen, PF/SF, Utah Jazz (DraftKings $8.6k, FanDuel $15.0k)
Lauri Markkanen was shipped over to Utah in the Donovan Mitchell trade, and he’s been amazing with his new team. The Arizona product is averaging 22.2 points, 9.4 boards, and he’s positioned himself firmly in the Most Improved Player of the Year race. Markkanen has been reliable pretty much every game this year, and he’s established himself as Utah’s best scoring option. He’s also a double-double threat every night, so plug him in to get guaranteed production versus the Clippers tonight.

Mike Conley, PG, Utah Jazz (DraftKings $7.0k, FanDuel $12.0k)
Veteran point guard Mike Conley has been solid this season, and he’s a big part of why the Jazz are 7-3. Conley is the one remaining starter for Utah from last year that wasn’t traded, and he’s embraced the veteran leader role. Conley recorded his second double-double of the year last game against the Lakers, tallying 15 points and ten dimes. He averages 11.9 points and 7.4 assists, and he’s been very consistent as a facilitator. He’s notched five assists in every game he’s played this year, and he’s a solid option at this price on both platforms. Expect him to see around 30 minutes tonight, and look for him to have the ball in his hands pretty often in LA.
