Fantasy Basketball: NBA Implied Totals for Oct. 21st

Updated: Tuesday, October 20 at 5:33 PM ET.

While nobody is right 100% of the time, the Vegas sportsbooks are right more often than they are wrong.

A helpful tool to determine which players to roster in daily fantasy basketball contents is NBA implied totals (projected point totals for each team based on NBA odds).

Looking at the over-under alone is not enough. Although it's an obvious statement, the more points a team scores (or is expected to score), the more likely that fantasy points will follow.

NBA implied totals listed in the table below are calculated using NBA odds from FanDuel Sportsbook for October 21st games of the 2026-27 NBA season and sorted from most to least projected points.
