Draftkings NBA Showdown Picks: Clippers vs. Suns 11/6/25

This Thursday night, the NBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with an NBA regular season matchup featuring the Los Angeles Clippers and the Phoenix Suns. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.

Before we dive into the Los Angeles Clippers vs. Phoenix Suns game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for tonight’s Clippers vs. Suns matchup.

Draftkings NBA Showdown Picks

Captain-Devin Booker, Point Guard, Phoenix Suns $11,600

Veteran point guard Devin Booker has been a standout performer for the Phoenix Suns this season. To evaluate his performance from a statistical perspective, let’s examine Booker’s relevant game data from the 2025 NBA regular season.

In the eight games that point guard Devin Booker has played for the Phoenix Suns in the 2025 NBA regular season, Booker has averaged a rather impressive 31.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 0.4 blocks and 0.5 steals a game.

Examining the data just presented more closely, in the eight games that Devin Booker has played for the Phoenix Suns in the 2025 NBA regular season, Booker has compiled a 51.6% field goal percentage, a 43.1% three point percentage and an 86.1% free throw percentage.

Last month, in the Utah Jazz’s win over the Phoenix Suns, Phoenix point guard Devin Booker certainly played at a high level. For clarity, let me elaborate on my previous statement. In the Utah Jazz’s defeat of the Suns, Booker amassed 34 points, five rebounds, ten assists and one block.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in Utah’s victory over the Phoenix Suns, Devin Booker tallied a massive 60.2 Draftkings points.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings NBA showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) DFS contest. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups.

In my view, Devin Booker is the player most likely to accumulate the highest number of DraftKings points in this NBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker at the captain position for this one game DFS NBA Showdown contest slate.

Flex Plays

Ivica Zubac, Center, Los Angeles Clippers $8,600

In the seven games that center Ivica Zubac has played for the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2025 NBA regular season, Zubac has averaged 13.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 0.4 steals a game.

Examining the data just presented more closely, in the seven games that Ivica Zubac has played this season, Zubac is averaging 31.5 Draftkings points a game.

Additional flex plays I like to play well in this evening’s NBA regular season game (Draftkings price noted): Mark Williams, Center (Phoenix Suns) $8,200: Kris Dunn, Guard (Los Angeles Clippers) $5,000: Derrick Jones, Forward (Los Angeles Clippers) $3,600.
