Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 4/06/16 There’s a solid eight-game slate on tap for Wednesday. The primary issues for these games are common this time of year – who’s healthy and who’s got something to play for? Two games are ambiguous enough to have no line, and of the remaining six, four are expected to be romps (+12 spread or higher). There are no high O/U opportunities as of yet either. Still, the games will be played, shots will be taken (and missed), and so forth. All of which means we get to have DFS contests! Most of the top projected plays are lesser-known names, late season additions, etc., and you’ll find they all come relatively cheap. I’ll point out a higher-cost option at each position where you can spend some money (and you’ll need to), though they’re all lower on a point-per-dollar (PP$) basis. Happy hunting.

Enjoy, POINT GUARD Tim Frazier - FD 5000 DK 4600 Opponent - BOS FD Proj. Pts - 29.08 DK Proj. Pts - 30.3 Frazier has been getting consistent run, producing consistently in the process. Tuesday was no exception, and I see no reason for Wednesday to be any different. Even with a 10% price bump, his salary is simply not proportionate to his value. He is a Pel, and there’s game-related blowout risk, but someone’s going to be manning the point. That'll be Frazier on Wednesday. As the top PP$ option at point guard on FanDuel (FD) and DraftKings (DK), he’s likely to be heavily owned, but he’s also pretty hard to pass up, especially for cash games. Shane Larkin - FD 4500 DK 4300 Opponent - WAS FD Proj. Pts -...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/31/16 Short(er)-Slate Thursday – my favorite night, for some odd reason. There are six games on tap, up from the usual 4 on the typical unofficial start of the weekend (for those of you still in school or young enough to have those). Regardless, it’s a small number of games. I think one of the reasons I like shorter slates is there are fewer opportunities to screw up. When you do, though, it has a much bigger impact. They’re not actually less risky, they just feel that way. Anyway… There’s no line on two of the six games, and only a couple with higher O/Us. You’d think it’d be a pretty tricky night for DFS picks, but several positions are pretty locked down (especially for cash games). As always, review these, and check back tomorrow… Now’s your chance to get DFSR Pro with NBA Optimal Lineups, Projections, Player Cards and Google Chrome extension that auto-populates your lineups into FanDuel.

Enjoy.   POINT GUARD Shane Larkin - FD 3900 DK 4100 Opponent - CLE FD Proj. Pts - 21.86 DK Proj. Pts - 22.99 Fair warning: this will not be pretty. Think train wreck – you know you should look away because it’s going to be ugly, but you just can’t bring yourself to do it. After blowing Tuesday’s game, I suspect LBJ will be back in the lineup and the Cavs will be motivated. Still, the Nets will be in the gym, someone has to man the point for them, and it’ll be Larkin. That means passing (maybe even assists), shooting (maybe some will go through the hoop), defending (could pick Kyrie’s pocket, who does have a propensity to play a little loose some nights), and generally the opportunity for...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/30/16 There’s a solid nine-game slate in the Association on tap for Wednesday. Looking at offshore information, three games have no line (not a huge number this late in the season), but of those listed, none have high totals. It also looks to be a good night for road teams (with the majority likely to be favored). If I wasn’t looking, I’d be very wary of blowout risk. The Pels, Suns, and Lakers all on the slate. Who know who Memphis will roll out. Then there’s the always-rotating Spurs cast, and the underwhelming Knicks and Kings. I guess the theme of the night is risk. As always, check the Updates article and be close to a device near lineup lock.

Enjoy, ***Please note that the Pelicans are virtually out of bodies. They may have eight guys suit up, and they’ll all have to play. Minutes being minutes, they should all be good value options. I’ll point out the Pels at each position, without a full write-up.*** POINT GUARD Brandon Knight - FD 7200 DK 7300 Opponent - MIL FD Proj. Pts - 36.52 DK Proj. Pts - 38.57 Knight is about as solid as it gets on Wednesday. He’s one of the few Suns with more than two years’ experience who also belongs on an NBA roster. He has been getting plenty of minutes, and there’s a reasonable floor time expectation built into these projections. The Bucks’ defense vs. position (DvP) on PGs actually is very good (4th), but Knight will have the ball a ton regardless of how tough he finds the sledding. He...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/24/16 Short Slate Thursday – We’re back to normalcy after a significantly larger group of games last week. After a huge slate Wednesday, we’re looking at five games. There’s a bit of blowout risk, as three have lines near or above double digits. The most intriguing matchups from a fan perspective are in the West, with later start times. But who’s really concerned about that here? We want value and upside, so keep reading for some ideas on both counts.

Enjoy, POINT GUARD Toney Douglas - FD 5100 DK 5100 Opponent - IND FD Proj. Pts - 29.27 DK Proj. Pts - 30.85 If you find a salary multiple between 5 and 6 (5x-6x) intolerable, you won’t like this pick. If that works for you, this is a chalk play. Toney has been the model of consistency lately. Since climbing into his current salary tier, he has paid in that range each time, with a 7x thrown in. The matchup is pretty good, with an above-average Pace for both teams, and a below-average opponent in terms of defending vs. the position (DvP) of point guard. Other than the now-usual concern that the Pels get blown out of the building, Douglas is the highest rated point guard on a points-per-dollar (PP$) basis on both FanDuel (FD) and DraftKings (DK), and should be in your lineup(s). Kyrie Irving - FD 7000 DK 6800 Opponent - BKN FD Proj. Pts - 35.96 DK Proj. Pts - 38.32 Kyrie will be playing in the second game of a back-to-back. The Cavs hop a quick flight to NYC after hosting the...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/23/16 Coming off an excellent night for the system and our optimal lineups, there is an enormous 12-game slate on tap for Wednesday. The NBA is trying to capture the full attention of hoops fans before the Sweet 16 kicks in on Thursday. The good news for us DFS players is this presents all sorts of possibilities. It’s a great night to run various lineup combinations. You can find all sorts of pivot plays, contrarian prospects, and fading opportunities. That screams Tournament to me. Below you’ll find the best value plays to form your lineups around (and a few tourney ideas). From there, get creative. Check the DFSR Updates article and be available near lineup lock for late-breaking value opportunities. Some may be so strong that you can’t pass them up, so it may affect your core lineup. Be ready to pounce on those, especially for cash lineups.

Enjoy, POINT GUARD Damian Lillard - FD 8900 DK 9100 Opponent - DAL FD Proj. Pts - 45.91 DK Proj. Pts - 49.1 One of the more expensive point guard options on the slate, Lillard is also the top points-per-dollar (PP$) option on FanDuel (FD) and among the top options on DraftKings (DK). The matchup presents some pretty decent news. Although the two teams Pace is below average (the Blazers are 17th and the Mavs 23rd), our offshore friends expect some decent action, with an over/under (O/U) in the mid 210’s. Additionally, the Mavs defense vs. position (DvP) on PGs is bottom-third in the league. Lillard has a ridiculously high floor and just as much upside. Against Dallas...
