Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Tyrese Haliburton FD - $10600 DK - $11000Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 55.62 DK - 59.27 Tyrese Haliburton has been absolutely on one over the last couple of games, putting up unreal numbers scoring 33 and 37 points respectively with 16 assists in each. It doesn’t get much better than that and the Pacers continue to run at a crazy pace each and every game. Hali is getting expensive here, and with good reason, but gets a good matchup against the Pistons who play a bottom-third defense and run a top-12 pace. While the Pacers can run funky rotations at times, that doesn’t apply to their point guard who is having an All-NBA kind of season so far. Cade Cunningham FD - $7700 DK - $7800Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 41.21 DK - 46.28 On the other side of the ball, the Pistons draw one of the better DFS matchups around considering the Pacers allow as many points as they score (more or less). Their 107.3 pace is, by far, the fastest in the league, 1.7 higher than the next-closest team. It’s why the total for this game is 247.5, 20 or so points higher than just about every other game on the slate. Cade Cunningham should be in line for a lot of minutes though it should be mentioned that his production can be more volatile than others in his price range. But he has 20-point, 10-assist upside here with rebounds to boot. I think he’s more than worth the price considering the matchup. Buddy Hield FD - $5000 DK - $5500Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 33.11 DK - 36.3 Like I said before, the Pacers do play weird rotations at times, but Buddy Hield is starting to look like a safer play if the current plan sticks. He’s taken over the starting shooting guard role and played 35 and 31 minutes over the last two since the switch. The scoring has been there with 31 and 24 points, taking 28 total shots in that span. We know he can bomb threes and the Pacers pace allows for him to get enough...

Stroud FD 7700 DK 7700 Opponent JAXProj Points FD - 20.25 DK - 20.25 We could be in a situation where stacking a particular game in cash even on a bigger slate. CJ Stroud has been nothing short of amazing in his rookie season racking up 330 or more passing yards in each of the last three weeks and about to walk away with the Rookie of the Year. Now he’ll face the Jaguars in what could be another shootout and the price, unbelievably, hasn’t gotten all the way there yet. I like the FanDuel price a bit more than DraftKings all things considered. He’s priced just below the elite tier of Allen, Mahomes, Hurts, etc but has just as much upside as that group. Trevor Lawrence FD 7800 DK 6400 Opponent HOUProj Points FD - 19.43 DK - 19.43 This game has the second-highest total on the slate so having some exposure here makes sense. We had Trevor Lawrence as a bounce-back candidate last week and that more than worked out. He threw for 262 yards and two touchdowns while also running in for two more. It was a slate-breaking performance from Lawrence who had been struggling a bit in the short-term. The DraftKings price is way too cheap in my opinion and if the rushing attempts hold then his floor is plenty high enough. Strongly consider Jalen Hurts here, especially on FanDuel. He could be a chalkier option there. Running Back Bijan Robinson FD 7400 DK 6500 Opponent NOProj Points FD - 18.95 DK - 20.72 Arthur Smith finally saw the light of day in Week 10 when he trotted Bijan Robinson out there for 75% of the running back snaps, giving him 22 carries and two targets as well. If this is the new plan (and let’s hope that it is) then he’s way, way too cheap on both sites. From the talent pedigree to the every down role, he has an incredibly high floor that is essentially script independent. Again, Smith can’t totally be trusted here, but for this game, I think we can run him out in cash against the Saints. Jonathan Taylor FD 7500 DK 6900 Opponent TBProj Points FD - 19.25 DK - 20.74 Jonathan Taylor gets a rougher matchup against the Bucs who have been only allowing 3.7 yards per carry to opponents this season, but there’s an...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Tyrese Haliburton FD - $10200 DK - $10000Opponent - TORProj Pts FD - 53.66 DK - 58.45 Buddy Hield FD - $4800 DK - $5200Opponent - TORProj Pts FD - 29.19 DK - 33 The Pacers are coming off an epic game on Tuesday and there was a reason we gave Tyrese Haliburton as our top option heading into that one. A ridiculous 157-152 (in regulation) win over the Hawks will do that and Hali finished with 37 points and 16 assists, going completely nuke in the third quarter on the way to the W. Not as good matchup here against the Raptors but the Pacers still have one of the highest totals on the slate for a reason. Meanwhile, Buddy Hield got the start over Bennedict Mathurin on Tuesday and made good use of it, going 9-11 from the field and 6-6 from three in 31 minutes. That’s out-of-the-box efficiency that isn’t likely to be replicated, but starting and playing minutes in the 30s is a recipe for value at his current price points. He’s an especially good FanDuel bargain. LaMelo Ball FD - $9900 DK - $10200Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 51.02 DK - 56.16 The game to really keep an eye on tonight is the Hornets and Wizards who come in with the highest over/under on the slate at 242.5. I don’t think we see the same heights as Hawks-Pacers, but this one should be up and down the court with little to no defense as well. LaMelo Ball has been locked into about a 36-37 minute rotation of late and over the last month is averaging 29 points, eight assists, and 5.5 rebounds while also adding some defensive stats as well. He’s in the same tier as Haliburton and choosing between them on this slate could be tough. Nickeil Alexander-Walker FD - $4200 DK - $3700Opponent - PHIProj Pts FD - 26.39 DK - 27.38 Jaden McDaniels is going to miss some time and it looks like Nickeil Alexander-Walker will draw the start in his place. It’s a big-time downgrade on the defensive end, but NAW does have a bit more in...

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterbacks Dak Prescott FD 8500 DK 6800 Opponent WASProj Points FD - 22.36 DK - 22.36 The Cowboys come in with Thanksgiving’s biggest point total as -11 home favorites against the Commanders. Prescott is coming off a rougher game against the Panthers from the statical side, but it was also an easy win for Dallas and the starters were pulled in the 4th quarter. The three games before that saw him throwing for more than 300 yards in each with 11 total touchdowns to just two interceptions. Now he’ll face a weaker defense from Washington and there’s a reason the Boys are big favorites. Dak has a high floor and the DraftKings price doesn’t make you think too hard. Brock Purdy FD 7700 DK 6100 Opponent SEAProj Points FD - 18.02 DK - 18.02 With the 49ers offense back at full strength in the skill position department over the last couple of weeks, Purdy has been awesome, completing 78% of his passes and throwing six touchdowns to no interceptions. It’s been as efficient as a quarterback can really and he’s coming off a week that saw him as the chalk QB option on DraftKings. That could be the case again here considering there’s savings off of Dak in order to fill out the rest of the lineup. Running Back Tony Pollard FD 7200 DK 6700 Opponent WASProj Points FD - 17.6 DK - 19.64 It happened folks! Tony Pollard actually found the endzone again in Week 11 after not touching pay dirt since Week 1. He was also as efficient as he’s been all season, averaging more than five yards per carry on his 12 carries. Plus there were five targets in the passing game as well. Now, he’s coming into this one in the running back sweet spot again as big home favorites against a bad defensive line. Let’s run Pollard out there again and hope he can keep it going. Zach Charbonnet FD 5800 DK 5300 Opponent SFProj Points FD - 16.3 DK - 17.97 It’s not amazing rostering running backs from big underdogs, but if the back projects to be used in all facets of the game then it makes it a bit easier from a script standpoint. That should be the case with Zach Charbonnet who projects to be the workhorse for Seattle with Kenneth Walker likely not playing. Charbonnet saw 85% of the...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Tyrese Haliburton FD - $10300 DK - $10400Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 52.07 DK - 55.97 This Pacers-Hawks game has an insane (and I mean insane) 250 over/ under which almost seems like a joke. It’s 14 points higher than the next-closest game and 25 points more than most other tilts. We are paying a pretty price for Tyrese Haliburton at this point, but if there was ever a game that was “worth it”, it’s this one. The pace should be ultra-fast, Hali has been playing huge minutes and is averaging 23.5 points and 11.6 assists on 51/43/94 splits. Don’t sweat this decision all that much, click the button and fill out the rest of the lineup. Trae Young FD - $9200 DK - $9100Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 49.66 DK - 54.63 Speaking of the game with a ridiculous total, on the other side we have the Hawks with their own backcourt to roster. Again, with pricing, this gets a little tough because there is only so much salary. But if there was a game to really try to make it all fit and get cheaper plays in elsewhere, this is the one. Trae’s three-point shooting has been off this season, going only 28% from deep with the overall FG% way down off his career numbers as well. That’s definitely a concern, but the usage is still there and he’s getting to the line more this season as well. Bennedict Mathurin FD - $5400 DK - $5300Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 31.36 DK - 33.74 We had a little window last week when it seemed like Bennedict Mathurin was going to be a mid-30s minutes guy going forward. But as it seems to happen with Indiana, the rotations just can kind of get wonky and it’s tough to trust anything beyond Haliburton. That being said, with this game likely going the way we think, getting Mathurin in the middle tier (because of the lower minutes of late), then it’s worth it to take the risk. The total is just too high and he’s got big-time scoring upside when things break right. Consider: He’s...
