Draftkings NBA Showdown Picks: Grizzlies vs. Suns 10/29/25
Memphis Grizzlies vs. Phoenix Suns
October 29, 2025 10:00 pm EDT
Later today, the NBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with an NBA regular season matchup featuring the Memphis Grizzlies and the Phoenix Suns. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Memphis Grizzlies 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 Memphis Grizzlies vs. Phoenix Suns matchup.
Draftkings NBA Showdown Picks
Captain-Devin Booker, Guard, Phoenix Suns $10,200
Veteran 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 four games that guard Devin Booker has played for the Phoenix Suns in the 2025 NBA regular season, Booker has averaged a rather impressive 28.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.4 steals a game.
Examining the data just presented more closely, in the four games that Devin Booker has played for the Houston Rockets in the 2025 NBA regular season, Booker has compiled a 50.7% field goal percentage, a 37.5% three point percentage and an 80.5% free throw percentage.
More recently, in Utah’s win over the Phoenix Suns two days ago, Phoenix guard Devin Booker certainly played at a high level. For clarity, let me elaborate on my previous statement. In Utah’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 seaspn 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
Mark Williams, Center, Phoenix Suns $8,600
In the three games that center Mark Williams has played for the Phoenix Suns in the 2025 NBA regular season, Williams has averaged 11.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, 0.7 blocks and 0.7 steals a game.
Examining the data just presented more closely, in the three games that Mark Williams has played this season, Williams is averaging 25.7 Draftkings points a game.
Additional flex plays I like to play well in this evening’s NBA regular season game (Draftkings price noted): Ja Morant, Point Guard (Memphis Grizzlies) $10,400: Jaren Jackson, Forward (Memphis Grizzlies) $9,400: Collin Gillespie, Guard (Phoenix Suns) $4,200.
