Point guard Eric Bledsoe FD - $7600 DK - $7500Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 40.36 DK - 40.64 Kris Dunn FD - $7400 DK - $7000Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 38.09 DK - 37.34 Welcome back hoops lovers. The five game Christmas slate came chock full of excitement and some controversy, but best of all, it presents us with an unusually large eight game Tuesday slate. We're going to start out our picks with a pair of players from a game we are going to target quite heavily. Chicago heads into Milwaukee as the Bucks play host to the Bulls and these two guys will spend the better part of the night paired up with each other. Eric Bledsoe has had his ups and downs since being dealt to Milwaukee from Phoenix earlier in the season, but certainly more ups. In 21 games with the Bucks, he's had eight 20+ point performances, and has only gotten better as he spends more time with his new team. He posted his first double double with Milwaukee on Friday against the Hornets. Over the past seven games he's averaged 19 points per game, with 1.9 steals, 4.5 assists, and half a block in 33 minutes per game. On the other side we have Kris Dunn. Dunn stunk up the place against the Celtics on Saturday, but don't let that deter you from locking him in tonight. First off, the whole Bulls team was completely outmatched in this one, and had no answers for the Celtics shut down defense in what inevitably turned into a bloodbath. We have no such concerns tonight. Milwaukee comes into the game a mere 6.5 point favorite, and the game sports the highest total on the night at 211. Remove Saturday from the equation and Dunn nets you a player averaging 36.9 FanDuel points in the month of December. Both Bledsoe and Dunn are priced similarly, and project similarly in the early run of the system, so you can pair them or just pick one and move on if you need a little value. I'm definitely going to try and pair them in cash, while running with Bledsoe in tournaments if I need to choose. Andrew Harrison FD -...

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with NBA or NFL? Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. What We Know Giannis Antetokounmpo is out. I had originally written up Giannis as an every lineup guy, but had to yank him out of there as news just broke that a sore knee will keep him on the bench tonight. Matthew Dellavedova will draw the start in alphabets place, while Eric Bledsoe and Khris Middleton will seed huge bump in usage. Kawhi Leonard has been ruled out tonight for the Spurs, Pau Gasol is listed as probable. Leonard will sit this one out against Sacramento after feeling discomfort following shoot around. As is usually the case in this situation, Kyle Anderson and Rudy Gay will see extended playing time in his absence. Pau Gasol meanwhile has been upgraded to probable, which would kill any appeal of Joffrey Lauvergne, who however is a great play if Gasol does decide to sit out another game. Jaylen Brown is a probable, Shane Larkin questionable against the Bulls. Brown already missed one game with quad soreness, and is listed as probable for tonight's tilt with Chicago. Larkin also missed the last game with a sore knee which seems to still be a factor. If Brown plays, Marcus Smart and Terry Rozier's playing time will see a reduction. Donovan Mitchell is probable against the Thunder tonight. Mitchell has missed two games with a toe contusion, and comes into tonight listed as probable for the Jazz. If Mitchell does suit up with no word of a minutes restriction, Rodney Hood will return to the bench and take a serious hit to his value. Damian Lillard remains out for the Trailblazers. Lillard will sit out at least one more for Portland with a hamstring strain. Shabazz Napier saw the start last night for Lillard and ended the evening paying 10X PPD. His price is up tonight, but he still remains a solid play in a great matchup. Goran Dragic is not expected to play tonight against the Pelicans. The Dragon has missed three games now with an elbow injury and will not play tonight against the Pelicans. Tyler Johnson remains a nice value play at the point in Dragics absence. Dion Waiters left last night's game against Dallas with a sprained ankle. Waiters left last night's game against the Mavericks...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 12/23/17 Saturday night's alright for NBA DFS action, as we have another super solid 12 game slate laid out before us with plenty of value plays and some solid studs. There's a thirteenth game if you count the 5PM ET game between the Sixers and the Raptors, but DraftKings doesn't and on FanDuel you have to play their late swap contests to get access to that one, so let's just focus on 12 game 7:00 set and check out our systems top picks.

Point guard Shabazz Napier FD - $4500 DK - $5100Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 30.37 DK - 30.61 I'm starting this piece at about 8:00 PM ET on Friday night, so as I write this I don't have any info on Shabazz Napier in his first of at least two starts in place of the injured Damian Lillard. If I look into my imaginary crystal Ball, I'm seeing high ownership and at the very least solid returns on a minimum priced play against the worst defense in the game. Tonight, Napier doesn't find the fortune of the Nuggets defense again, but he gets the Lakers who are not only are mediocre at best defending the position, they also play the fastest game in the NBA. Last season Napier started the final two games of the regular season for the Blazers and averaged 28.5 points, 5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 32 minutes over those two contests. He's got the chops, he'll see the minutes, the price has inflated quickly but he's still a bargain given the opportunity and matchup. I love Russell Westbrook as much as the next guy, but point guard is just busting at the seams with value today. Tyler Johnson FD - $6000 DK - $5400Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 32.18 DK - 31.97 This is one of those few times in the NBA season where Russell Westbrook is playing, but is not spotlighted in this article. Clearly he's in play, if you want to spend up, have at it, but there are other places to go for that. If it's value you seek at the point then Tyler Johnson is a solid play. Goran Dragic who missed two games already this week was ruled...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – 12/19/17

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 12/19/17 Welcome back daily fantasy hoops lovers to another edition of NBA Tuesday. We're back to the micro-slates with three games on the docket for this evening, and no shortage of high priced studs. So let's dive right in and see who is worth paying up for and if we can't find a little bit of value to allow us to fit them in. On to the picks!

Point guard Eric Bledsoe FD - $7100 DK - $6700Opponent - CLEProj Pts FD - 33.5 DK - 33.77 Eric Bledsoe didn't want to be in Phoenix. It seems he's much more content in Milwaukee though. Since being dealt by the Suns in early November Bledsoe has really taken to his new role in the Milwaukee offense, scoring in double digits in all but one game and posting 20+ in three of his last six which isn't always easy when sharing court time with Giannis. Cleveland can be a tall order for opposing point guards, but its a slim pickin's kind of night. If Giannis is tangled up with LeBron all night Bledsoe could be called upon to lead the ball to the basket more, and for the cost is one of the safer plays at the position tonight. George Hill FD - $4700 DK - $4600Opponent - PHIProj Pts FD - 20.9 DK - 21.59 Next up we have George Hill. The Kings are in Philly tonight and the question we have to ask ourselves here is do we think Hill will continue to see 30 minutes? Over his last three games Hill has played 28, 29, and 33 averaging 17 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game. Hill has turned his game up over the past few weeks, and as long as he keeps dropping double digit scores we have to hope he's rewarded with continued playing time, but this is still the Kings we are talking about. I'll feel more confident in the minutes if De'Aaron Fox sits out another one, but even if Fox plays, Hill provides us with value that is going to be needed elsewhere, so we might have to take a gamble on those minutes. John Wall FD - $9500 DK - $8800Opponent - NOProj Pts FD...

We've got you completely covered.What We Know Aaron Gordon is out and the Magic are hurting. Gordon suffered a calf strain Friday night against the Blazers leaving the game after 24 minutes. The discomfort is strong enough that he was ruled out yesterday well in advance of todays game with the Pistons. This leaves Orlando without Gordon, Evan Fournier, and Terrence Ross who have missed several games each, while Arron Afflalo and Jonathan Isaac are each listed as questionable. This could lead to more run for Mario Hezonja, Jonathan Simmons, and DJ Augustin if if Afflalo and Isaac join the others on the bench. Zach Randolph and De'Aaron Fox are ruled out for the Kings. Sacramento will rest Z-Bo today against the Raptors, while Fox was ruled out as expected after being listed as doubtful with a quad contusion. George Hill becomes a somewhat more intriguing play with Fox out, while Skal Labassiere and Willie Cauley-Stein will benefit from Randolph's vacated minutes. The Cavs will rest Dwyane Wade. Wade played two games in three days and will get the tail end of Cleveland's back to back off to rest his sore knee. Kyle Korver and Jeff Green will see additional minutes in his place. Otto Porter did not practice on Saturday and is listed as questionable for today's tilt with Cleveland. Porter played only three minutes on Friday before being forced to leave with a hip bruise. We are considering him unlikely to play given the fact that he did not practice with the team yesterday, though more word should come following shootaround. Serge Ibaka is out today for Toronto. Ibaka is dealing with a sore left knee and will be held out of today's contest with the Kings. Pascal Siakam should pick up the start for Toronto and becomes an intriguing value play at PF. What We're Waiting to Know Avery Bradley is a game time decision against the Magic today. Bradley was a late scratch on Friday for Detroits game against the Pacers, and is being considered day to day until more word on his status is released. Luke Kenard started in Bradley's spot on Friday and put up a 9/5/4/1 line in 18 minutes while Langston Galloway saw more time off the bench, both can be considered...
