3 NBA Defenses to Exploit in Daily Fantasy Basketball

Early in the season, which teams should you be targeting players against?

There are a lot of things that go into selecting your daily fantasy basketball lineups.

Injuries, minutes, Usage Rates, rotation changes and projected point totals are among the many different factors that come into play when drafting your team. Another common factor is Defense versus Position, or DvP.

DvP is exactly what it sounds like -- a ranking of each team's defense against a given position, in terms of fantasy points allowed. I've found this to be a very useful tool.

I don't like reading too much into that though. Why? Because a practice as simple as exploiting an exploitable defense is sometimes overlooked in favor of something like DvP. When that happens it can really be a detriment to your cause if you miss out on some obvious plays that were obvious for a reason.

In order to promote, rather than obstruct, your cause I'm here to give you three team defenses to take advantage of when setting your lineups. So, without further delay, here are our early-season victims.
