Guards Chris Paul FD - $8000 DK - $7700 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 42.71 DK - 44.94 The Suns are getting a bit healthier with Chris Paul returning this past Sunday and looking good with back-to-back double-doubles leading to wins in both games. He checks all the boxes on Thursday starting with the matchup against the Mavs who rank 25th in defensive efficiency and fantasy points against guards. He should also continue to see an uptick in volume as the Suns will be without Booker, Payne, and Shamet and with that is definitely a nice buy-low candidate that is in play in all formats. Darius Garland FD - $8400 DK - $8600 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 39.59 DK - 41.07 Caris LeVert FD - $5500 DK - $5600 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 17.29 DK - 17.89 Donovan Mitchell sat out Wednesday's practice after aggravating his groin injury upon returning to the starting lineup on Tuesday. As of now, I assume he is not playing, which leads to Garland and LeVert again getting the opportunity to shine. With Mitchell out last week, Garland crushed for fantasy with 21 or more points in all three games, double-doubles in two of three while tallying 45 or more fantasy points in each of those. LeVert stepped into the starting lineup for those three games and was also terrific for fantasy getting double-digit shots in each and providing 30 or more fantasy points in each game. With an elite matchup against the Rockets, Garland is in play for me no matter what but we will need to stay tuned on the Mitchell news and if he is out, LeVert is a top play in all formats. Jalen Green FD - $8100 DK - $7800 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 35.64 DK - 39.89 The other side of this game isn't providing as friendly of a matchup as the Cavs are #2 in defensive efficiency but there is a lot to like about Jalen Green tonight. You likely aren't using him in cash games at his elevated price but for the Cavs to hit their ceiling the Rockets will need to keep it close and Green is the player who can lead that charge making this an excellent GPP stacking situation. Even with a dud last...

This week the PGA Tour stays in Cali and heads to Torrey Pines Golf Course for the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open. Like last week, we have another multi-course rotation with players playing one round on the South and North courses on Thursday and Friday before the Top 65 & ties move on to play the South Course on Saturday and Sunday. Another similarity to last week is the elite field led by five of the Top 10 and nine of the Top 25 players in the Official World Golf Rankings are teeing it up this week. One quick note before moving into the course, stats, and picks. To not interfere with the NFL Playoffs, this week's event will be played from Wednesday to Saturday. With three of the four rounds(for those who make the cut) played on the South course, this is where I will concentrate my research and base my stats model around this week. With the North course playing much easier(at least a stroke easier in each of the last five years and over 3.5 strokes easier last year), it will be important to focus there when constructing showdown lineups for the first two rounds. Both courses are Par 72 setups with the biggest difference being distance as the North Course is listed at 7,258 yards while the South Course is listed at a whopping 7,765 yards. This immediately brings two things to the forefront when building models and it starts with Driving Distance which is huge in navigating the seven Par 4's that are over 450 yards and two Par 5's that stretch over...

Guards Damian Lillard FD - $10200 DK - $10100 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 48.41 DK - 50.77 There are only four players at $10K and above on DraftKings tonight and somehow Lillard is the cheapest of that group despite being in one of the best stretches of his season. Over the last seven games, he is shooting over 50% from the field on 22 shots a game(11 from beyond the arc) while tallying 50 or more fantasy points in six of those games while averaging 56.5 combined. He and the Trail Blazers now get the best matchup on the board against the Spurs who are dead last in defensive efficiency and fantasy points to guards. Fire up Lillard in all formats. Derrick White FD - $5500 DK - $5400 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 31.62 DK - 31.49 Both Marcus Smart and Malcolm Brogdon have already been ruled out for this game which opens up about 20 shots per game and a ton of minutes at the point guard position. White is a very shooting dependant guard who has been a roller coaster for fantasy but the good news is that he sees a near 3% usage boost with both Brogdon and Smart off the floor and becomes a near fantasy point-per-minute player. At a mid $5K price tag combined with a plus matchup against the Magic's 23rd-ranked defence, I have White as a core play in all formats. Mike Conley FD - $5700 DK - $5300 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 27.59 DK - 28.07 The game totals on this slate are a buffet of points with all seven coming in at 230 or higher but this game is one of my favorites to target as these teams run 10th and 11th in pace and both rank outside the Top 25 in defensive efficiency. The first piece that stands out is Mike Conley who has been very consistent in the short term tallying 30 or more fantasy points in four straight on the back of 13.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 45 assists per game. Despite this nice run, Conley's price has stayed flat and in the mid $5K range which, in this matchup, make him a core play for me in all formats. Also Consider: Terry Rozier(CHA) if LaMelo ball sits out again....

Guards Dejounte Murray FD - $8600 DK - $8300 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 41.51 DK - 44.08 Terry Rozier FD - $8100 DK - $7600 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 38.7 DK - 42.58 It's a bloodbath of injuries at the guard position tonight with six of the Top 7 in pricing either ruled out, doubtful or at-best, questionable. This has me targeting a balanced approach and it starts with the only game between two teams who both run top 10 in pace. Let's start with the home favourite Hawks who have two very good to elite guards but it's Murray who has stood out lately. He has shown he is much better with Trae in the lineup averaging 50 fantasy points a game over the five games since Trae returned. What I like most is the very high floor which comes from his contributions in every area as he is averaging 26.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, and seven assists over those five games with similar numbers on the season. On the other side of this high-paced game, we have Terry Rozier who is set to take on a large role with LaMelo Ball doubtful after leaving Wednesday's game with an ankle sprain. Rozier ended up taking a team-high 24 shots in that game and averaged 21.4 shots over a 10-game stretch when Ball was out last. Rozier was terrific fantasy-wise during that stretch averaging 39.8 DraftKings points which our system sees him topping tonight in this plus matchup. Lock and load on both guards in this game. Tyrese Maxey FD - $6000 DK - $6100 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 26.56 DK - 29.19 This one is a bit speculative early in the day but James Harden is questionable after picking up an injury in the 76ers' last game. My guess is they will take it easy with their star guard which means some minutes and opportunities would most definitely open up tonight. Enter Tyrese Maxey who has seen his price drop lately after three straight games coming off the bench. Looking back, he was terrific in Harden's absence in late November averaging 20.8 points on 19.7 shots over a six-game stretch while delivering over 37 fantasy points a game. If Harden is out, he is a great play in all formats. Also Consider:...

Guards James Harden FD - $10300 DK - $9800 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 46.68 DK - 49.8 Harden is coming off a season-low six points on Tuesday but that doesn't concern me for several reasons. First of all, he had been elite prior to that dud averaging 22 points, 12.2 assists, and 6.6 rebounds over the previous 12 games while tallying over 50 fantasy points nine times(53.9 DK/52.6 FD average). The other reason I am not concerned with a one-game sample is that the 76ers get the best matchup on the slate against the only team ranked outside the Top 20 in defense. The Blazers have also struggled even more in the short term giving up an average of 120 points per game over their last four. All things considered, Harden is a terrific building block in all formats. Gary Trent Jr. FD - $7000 DK - $6600 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 32.98 DK - 33.05 Targeting shooting dependant guards is not always the optimal route in cash games but we have a smaller slate on Thursday and it's hard to ignore Trent's form post-Christmas break. Take out the dud against the Hawks last week, and he is averaging 17.3 shots per game(8.5 per game from behind the arc) and has tallied 18 or more points each of those 11 games while averaging 37 DraftKings points per game. Minnesota is a tougher matchup here but at least it's a pace-up game(MIN 8th in pace) which has me on board with Trent's mid-tier price in all formats. Also Consider: Duane Washington(PHO) as a GPP play who likely starts again if Chris Paul is out Small Forward Mikal Bridges FD - $7100 DK - $6800 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 33.73 DK - 33.53 The Suns continue to run short-handed with Booker, Payne, Shamet, and Okogie already ruled out with Chris Paul in the questionable/doubtful category. This likely means another heavy run of minutes for Mikal Bridges who can be boom or bust at times but has provided us with more boom than anything lately tallying 40 or more fantasy points in three of his last four games. The Nets are no pushover defensively ranking 6th overall in efficiency but on a smaller slate we just can't ignore the massive opportunity and minutes floor that...
