Point Guard James Harden FD - $11100 DK - $11100 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 52.8 DK - 58.55 Tonight's slate is a bit of a mess with injuries, covid-related question marks, and players returning to lineups where teammates' prices have been inflated. The Nets will get Durant back after a three-game covid absence which puts us in a spot where we will have to choose between him and Harden and for me, that is a fairly easy one. With conditioning seeming to play a role in players returning, I will be riding with Harden who has been on another level scoring 75+ DK points in back-to-back games without Durant and has averaged 56.6 DK points per game over his last 10(seven games with Durant). The price is also actually a bit lower than before Durant had gone the C-19 list so fire up the beard in all formats. Spencer Dinwiddie FD - $6300 DK - $7100 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 36.95 DK - 40.94 Like almost every team, the Wizards were hit with covid and that includes their best player in Bradley Beal who is once again questionable to return. If he is out once again, fire up Spencer Dinwiddie who has been very good in his absence seeing a 4% increase in usage and all the minutes he can handle. He has dropped 17 or more points in each of the last three with no Beal while averaging right around 45 fantasy points per game. He now gets a short-handed Cavs team in what is expected to be the closest game on the slate. Stay tuned for starting lineups later in the day but it appears Dinwiddie will be a great PTS/$ play in all formats. **Update** Dinwiddie is out Shooting Guard Will Barton FD - $5500 DK - $5700 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 32.36 DK - 35.59 The Nuggets have been short-handed at guard all season(Murray/Porter) and go into tonight with Monte Morris questionable after missing Tuesday with a knee injury. This brings us to Will Barton who has not only seen a boost in usage lately but better yet, has a...

Point Guard James Harden FD - $11000 DK - $11200 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 54.9 DK - 60.27 The stars were out on Christmas Day as James Harden took over for the short-handed Nets squad dropping a triple-double(36-10-10) to lead the Nets to their Eastern Conference-leading 22nd win. Harden will once again have to put the team on his back as Kyrie remains out and Durant is set to miss his third straight, as well. With that, Harden feels a bit underpriced considering his usage spikes up to nearly 35% while tallying 1.5 fantasy points per minute with Durant off the court. The Clippers have a Top 5 defense but are also short-handed so I fully expect this game to stay relatively close allowing Harden to get another full run. Fire him up in all formats. Eric Bledsoe FD - $5500 DK - $6000 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 31.91 DK - 34.2 On the other side of this matchup, we have Eric Bledsoe who was pushed back into the starting rotation with Reggie Jackson falling on the Covid list. He has been lights out with the added opportunity playing at least 36 minutes and dropping at least 18 points in both games. He has also added a ton of secondary scoring equaling 1.2 fantasy points per minute which have absolutely crushed for value on both sites. The price has gone up slightly but as long as he is in the starting rotation, it is still a massive buy-low opportunity on both sites. Also Consider: LaMelo Ball(CHA) who has seen his price drop back down into the mid $9K range on both sites and gets a terrific matchup Shooting Guard Zach LaVine FD - $8600 DK - $9600 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 40.66 DK - 45.02 This game has the lowest total on the slate so likely doesn't get as much attention but still has a ton of value throughout. For me, it starts with LaVine who returned yesterday from a two-week absence and looked great dropping 12 of 18 shots for 49 DK/46.3 FD points against the Pacers. He now gets an even better...

Daily Fantasy NFL Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Week 16 Christmas Day Slate The 2021 NFL season is now in full swing and the DFSR team has covered with content all week long. Earlier in the week, we covered our top cash game plays and also looked at all the relevant injuries and now it's time to look at some of the top stacks for GPP formats.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers FD 8300 DK 7400 Opponent CLE Proj Points FD - 18.73 DK - 19.11 Take 2 for a Saturday slate as last weeks was blown up with the Browns game being pushed back to Monday due to Covid. Coincidentally, those same Browns are back in action this Saturday but this time facing the NFC's #1 seed in the Green Bay Packers. Leading the way is reigning MVP, Aaron Rodgers, who is also the current odds leader to win it again which would make him the first back-to-back winner since Peyton Manning(2008, 2009). While Rodgers has been great all season, he has been at his best in the short term throwing for over 300 yards in three of his last four games(325.3 avg) with a total of 12 touchdowns. In that time, he has scored 24 or more fantasy points in each game while averaging 30.6 DK/28.1 FD points per game. He now faces a short-handed Browns team that already ranks 23rd in DVOA against the pass. Look for Rodgers to deliver gifts to all the fantasy players who roster him. He is easily my top quarterback on this slate. Also Consider: Kyler Murray(ARI) as a GPP pivot off Rodgers or Backer Mayfield(CLE) who is slated to return this week and is the cheapest QB on the slate Running Back Jonathan Taylor FD 10500 DK 8300 Opponent ARI Proj Points FD - 22.98 DK - 24.43 While the MVP race likely comes down to a battle between veteran quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady, Jonathan Taylor is most definitely making his case and not that far off sitting at +800 right now. He comes into Week 16 tallying 100 or more yards rushing in seven of his last nine games(132.3 avg) and has totaled 97 or more yards from scrimmage in 11 straight(146.6 avg).  & BUF). That alone has me feeling a lot better about this below-average matchup against the Cardinals who rank 8th overall in DVOA against the rush. Believe it or not, there is even a path to playing a...

Point Guard Jalen Brunson FD - $7400 DK - $8500 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 41.9 DK - 45.11 Welcome to the new NBA where health and safety protocols have become the daily theme of these articles. The Mavericks guards have been hit hard as Doncic, Hardway, Burke, and Bullock are all on the C-19 list but that once again opens up Jalen Brunson who has been terrific in the short term. He has run a 25% usage rate with Doncic out the last five games and has been even better putting 37 or more fantasy points in three straight. That has sparked a big increase in price on DraftKings but the Mavs do get a plus matchup vs a Bucks team that has given up an average of 110 points over the last four games without Giannis in the lineup. Brunson is a much better play on FanDuel but is in play on both sites. Delon Wright FD - $4500 DK - $4200 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 28.41 DK - 29.6 We were all over Wright last night with Hawks short-handed at guard and while it wasn't pretty, he got there in terms of cash game value. It appears the Hawks will be short-handed again which should spark another start for Wright and the great news is that his price dropped $400 on DraftKings. There is a chance of a blowout here as the 76ers are 9.5 point favorites but that shouldn't stop the Hawks from giving Wright another full run of minutes in their current situation. All things considered, Wright is once again one of our top PTS.$ value plays on this slate. Shooting Guard Will Barton FD - $5600 DK - $6400 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 32.47 DK - 35.47 It was a complete disaster for the Nuggets last night to the point where the starters stat the entire 4th quarter en route to a loss. There are multiple reasons to go back to the well and it starts with the fact they are going to be well-rested and should be primed for a full run on Thursday. For Barton, individually, he...

Point Guard Lonzo Ball FD - $7700 DK - $7700 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 39.29 DK - 40.85 The Bulls are playing on a back-to-back here but it comes after a week break thanks to health and safety protocols. They looked good in their return to the court yesterday beating the Lakers and Ball was a big part of that win dropping 19 points. For fantasy, the price is going up but he has been consistent averaging 15 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 5.6 assists while adding some defensive upside with 1.5 blocks and steals. Put it all together and he is averaging over 35 fantasy points per game in that stretch which is a solid floor for tonight and in a matchup vs. the Rockets who rank 24th in defensive efficiency and 1st in pace, there is also a ton of upside here. Reggie Jackson FD - $6100 DK - $7600 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 33.49 DK - 37.35 The price is on the rise here, especially on DraftKings where he has hit a season-high but I am not too concerned on this smaller slate. He comes in hot dropping 15 or more points in eight straight games and has averaged over 30 fantasy points per game over his last 10. He and the Clippers now get a plus matchup on Monday as the Spurs come to town ranked 19th in defensive efficiency and also run the 6th fastest pace. While still in play, Jackson isn't a must on DraftKings but on FanDuel, at a price in the low $6K range, he is in play in all formats. Shooting Guard Donovan Mitchell FD - $8500 DK - $9700 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 46.5 DK - 49.93 Like Jackson, this is another huge price differential as Mithcell's price has taken a huge jump on DraftKings to almost $10K making him GPP only, at best. This play is much more about FanDuel tonight as the price remains in the mid $8K range. This game does have blowout potential but making me feel better about is the fact Utah has been involved in five blowout wins(20+ points)...
