# NBA DVP Mismatches Today: November 11, 2026

There are 10 NBA games tonight, and I went through each one for the softest defense vs position spot. A bad defensive rank only matters if the player on the other end actually fills that stat, so every lean below pairs the matchup with the player's own averages. The best of the night is Dylan Harper points against the Bulls. I passed on 2 games without a matchup worth betting.
