Point guard Early Kyrie Irving FD - $9200 DK - $9200Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 43.95 DK - 44.88 The Celtics are the hottest thing this side of the sun, and today, they face a Suns team that is anything but hot. Phoenix may not have the worst record in the association, but that's not for lack of trying. They're outright terrible on defense, and that, when combined with their incredible 105.6 pace of play makes them the perfect DFS target. Enter, Kyrie Irving, who has been astounding in his debut season with Boston. He's seen the better side of thirty minutes in six of his last seven games and has shot 50% or better in the same. He most recently dropped 36 on the Sixers giving him five games in November with 30+ points scored. The blowout concern is real in this one with Boston favored by 13, and Irving hasn't surpassed the 30 minute mark in games the Celtics have won by 13 or better, but with only three games to choose from Irving projects to be the best way to spend up at the position on the early set against a defense that allows the most fantasy points to the position. Main Damian Lillard FD - $8800 DK - $8900Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 46.12 DK - 48.07 Damian Lillard come on down! The price is right on the TrailBlazers point guard, as he dips below the $9K mark on both sites and is nearing season low pricing on FanDuel. He also sees a primo matchup against the Pelicans, who are extremely generous when it comes to allowing fantasy points to opposing guards. Over the past five games, point guards are scoring nearly 55 fanDuel points against New Orleans, which ranks them third worst at the position in that span. As for Lillard, he has seen an impressive stretch, running the boards 36-40 minutes in each of the last five games played. Vegas has this game with the lowest projected spread, just 3.5 points with a modest 208 total. Lillard not only tops our raw point projections at the one tonight, but he's got the second highest points per dollar ranking to boot. I'll have Lillard everywhere...

Point guard Tim Frazier FD - $4900 DK - $4100Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 32.32 DK - 32.86 Tyus Jones FD - $5200 DK - $4300Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 25.89 DK - 25.49 Welcome to another Tuesday edition of NBA daily fantasy action! The association has given us a quaint little five game slate of hoops entertainment. We're going to begin at point guard with two plays from the same game, and two guys benefitting from injury which leads to plenty of value to be had. First up we have the sure thing. John Wall underwent a procedure to reduce the inflammation in his knee which will set him firmly on the Washington Bench for at least two weeks. This opens up a ton of value for us, with Tim Frazier stepping into the starting rotation for the Wiz. Wall has missed three games already this season and in those games Frazier has run the boards an average of 31.3 minutes. He'll take on a Minnesota team tonight that may or may not have Jeff Teague. Teague missed two games already with an achilles injury and is a game-time decision for tonight's contest. Tyus Jones got the starting nod the last two games and saw 32 and 38 minutes respectively stuffing the stat sheet each time out. The sites were quick to correct pricing on both of these players but there is still plenty of room to the ceiling, particularly with Jones. This game tips off an hour after lock, so we may not have definitive word on Teague's status at 7:00, which sucks because I think Jones holds much more upside, so we will have to pay close attention and hope for early word, but Frazier will be in all of my cash games guaranteed. The Wolves are heading into the first game of a back to back so they could err on the side of caution and hold Teague back until the tail end, if so I'll have Jones everywhere. Kris Dunn FD - $6100 DK - $6100Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 32.24 DK - 31.56 Kris Dunn snaked the starting job in Chicago from Jerian Grant and then went cold. So cold that Grant outperformed...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Hassan Whiteside will play today. A sore left knee held Whiteside back from practice yesterday, and Miami officially designated the big man as questionable for today's visit to the Windy City. The Heat have confirmed Whiteside will in fact play against the Bulls today. Devin Booker is out for the Suns game in Minnesota. Originally listed as questionable for this afternoon's game with the Wolves with toe inflammation, Booker has now been officially ruled out. It was likely this was an issue for Booker Friday night against the Pelicans when he turned in one of his worst performances of the season. With Booker now confirmed out, T.J. Warren will become an elite play, while Mike James who sees a 32.3% usage with Booker off the court becomes a solid GPP play. Jeff Teague is out for the Timberwolves. Teague was a late scratch on Friday night with an achilles issue, and was originally listed as questionable for today's tilt with Phoenix but has since been ruled out. Aaron Brooks started for Teague on Friday but only saw 13 minutes while Tyus Jones stole the show posting a 7.3X PPD performance in 32 minutes. Every Lineup Guy Taj Gibson FD - $5600 DK - $5500Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 30.11 DK - 31.12 Woof. This is an ugly slate, and power forward is an ugly position. Taj Gibson is the one play showing up in the top optimal lineups being put out by our optimizer on both FanDuel, and DraftKings, and it all simply comes down to price and opportunity. Gibson is one of the cheaper options at this terrible position, and gets a plum matchup against a Phoenix team that is allowing the most fantasy points at the position of the teams that are playing today, and the minutes can't be disputed. Gibson is seeing at the least 30 and upwards of 40 minutes per game, and the Suns play at a ridiculous 106.2 pace factor, which will speed up Minnesotas more relaxed pace of play creating even more opportunities. Keep it cheap at the four with Gibson and allow yourself the room to pay up where it counts. GRAB A FREE TRIAL OF OUR PROJECTION SYSTEM, AND CHECK OUT...

We've got you completely covered.What We Know John Wall will miss about two weeks. Wall has been dealing with knee soreness for a good while now and the team announced today that he will miss about two weeks as he goes through treatment for the issue. Tim Frazier becomes a strong value play with Wall out starting at the point for near minimum pricing, and Bradley Beal will also see a boost in value with a 36.7% usage rate when Wall is out. Kevin Durant is out again for the Warriors. KD missed Friday night's game against the Bulls, and following the game coach Kerr announced that it was looking unlikely that Durant would be able to take the court tonight as the Warriors host the Pelicans, and has since confirmed that. Omri Casspi should likely get the starting nod again and becomes a nice value option against a Pelicans team allowing the ninth most fantasy points to opposing small forwards. Ben Simmons is out for the Sixers due to an elbow injury. Simmons will miss his first game of the season tonight with an elbow injury as Philly hosts the Magic. T.J. McConnell will draw the start at point guard in Simmons place, and he along with Joel Embiid become top plays tonight in Simmons absence. Giannis Antetokounmpo and John Henson are both probable for the Bucks game in Utah. The freak sat out on Wednesday night with knee soreness but the Bucks seem to feel the extended rest (he hasn't played since Monday), has done him well, and they have him listed as probable to take the court tonight against the Jazz. Henson also missed the game on Wednesday after undergoing an eye procedure, but is also expected to be good to go tonight sending Thon Maker back to the bench. Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson expect to play tonight for the Rockets. Gordon was held out of Wednesdays game with a calf strain, while Anderson dealt with an illness that kept him out of the game. Both are expected to return tonight as the Rockets host the Knicks. Gordon has lost much of his fantasy appeal with the return of CP3, while Anderson will be dealing with Kristaps Porzingis most of the night, so neither are high...

Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $10800 DK - $10900 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 54.64 DK - 56.52 Wednesday night we were given a glimpse of the Russell Westbrook of old as the Thunder played host to Golden State. Perhaps it was the anticipation of Thursdays turkey feast, or perhaps it was the chance to shine against former teammate Kevin Durant, or perhaps Westbrook is finally taking control of the new look OKC offense. In the past two games Westbrook posted identical fantasy performances, coming one assist shy of his second straight triple double after posting a 22/16/12 line against the Pelicans on Monday night. Wednesday he posted a season high 34 points against the Warriors, unleashing the beast as soon as the clock started counting down and not letting up all night. While he opened up the season quietly, allowing newcomers Paul George and Carmelo Anthony to find their place in the Thunder lineup, it seems safe to say that Westbrook is once again becoming the central force of the OKC offense posting 20+ points in five of his last six outings. The Mavericks have been terrible at defending the one this season, and are allowing a league high 23.9 points per game, so look for Westbrook to put on a shooting clinic and if the peripherals fall into place he will absolutely crush value. T.J. McConnell FD - $4700 DK - $4000 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 32.45 DK - 31.97 The Sixers announced early on Friday that Ben Simmons will miss tonight's game against the Magic, so T.J. McConnell will draw the start at the point for Philadelphia. McConnell has been a solid play off of the Philly bench this season with Simmons starting at point guard, so this will be a flashback to last season when McConnell was the primary starter and performed very well with Joel Embiid. This season, the pair still have a positive net rating when on the court together, and McConnell has posted some very impressive fantasy lines, even with the Philadelphia second unit. Back in the starting unit at a low-mid ranged price on both sites, the system loves T.J as the top point per dollar projection on...
