Point Guard Russell Westbrook FD - $12500 DK - $12600Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 57.41 DK - 61.4 Man, is it fun when these two teams get together. Golden State leads the season series 2 games to 0, but this time they travel into Chesapeake Energy Arena to face Russ and the Thunder on their home court and you can bet he'll be ready to put on a show for his home crowd against the team that ended their run to the Finals last May. Westbrook will come riding in to this game fresh off his 26th!! triple double of the season Thursday night against the Cavs. He finished that game with 29 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, and 4 steals. The Thunder have lost the first 2 games against the Warriors this season by an average of of 23.5 points, but those games were both in Oracle. Vegas has this at a respectable 6.5 spread with one of the highest totals of the evening. These two teams like to play fast and tonight looks to be Westbrook's night. Lock him in your cash games. Kyrie Irving FD - $8300 DK - $8400Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 41.02 DK - 43.66 Early word was the Cavs were going to rest the big three against the Thunder on Thursday, but they ultimately wound up starting and getting their full compliment of minutes. Kyrie Irving dropped 28 points including 2 for 2 from the line and 4 of 5 from beyond in 34 minutes. Kyrie has seen at least 34 minutes in his last three outings, and scored an average of 27 points in that span. Tonight Cleveland plays host to the Nuggets. Neither of these teams are particularly adept at defending the position, more on that in a moment, and Denver's top 5 pace should have the Cavs hustling down the court, providing Kyrie a few more opportunities. There's blowout risk in this one, but I feel confident in Irving's minutes, he should have...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/7/17 Its a short three game Tuesday in the NBA today. We're looking at two high scoring affairs with double digit spreads, and one lower scoring game between two rather evenly matched opponents, so pick and choose wisely. Let's try and narrow down the options shall we? Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA optimizer, our NFL Optimizer, and our new NFL player lab!

Point Guard Kemba Walker FD - $8900 DK - $8500Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 42.27 DK - 44.93 Call out the exterminator, we've got an infestation of Hornets on the picks today. Charlotte plays host to the Nets tonight. As I'm sure we're all aware, Brooklyn plays equal parts fast and bad. They're particularly bad at point guard which is great news for Kemba Walker. Walker's thrown a couple of clunkers recently against the likes of the Warriors and the Jazz. He has been under the weather, but we're hopeful a few days of rest has done him good and he's ready to return to form tonight. Prior to the Golden State game where he first began feeling ill he was averaging 43 fantasy points over his last 4 games which is more in line with what we would expect from him. Tonight, I would see that as his floor with a ceiling of 50. I'd feel good with Kemba in all formats. Damian Lillard FD - $8600 DK - $8600Opponent - DALProj Pts FD - 39.22 DK - 42.51 Damain Lillard is currently listed as probable after tweaking his ankle against the Thunder on Sunday, but it doesn't seem to be serious. Just keep an eye on the updates article in case something changes. If he is cleared to go then he makes a fine play for the Blazers tonight against the Mavericks. In Sundays loss to OKC he went 9 of 22 and a perfect 7 for 7 from the line rounding out with 3 assists, 7 boards,2 blocks and a steal. Dallas is the toughest team in the league on opposing point guards, but this is also the game with the least likely implied blowout, which means Lillard will get his full run of minutes to try and reach value and on such a short slate we don't want to be scared off by blowout factor, but we also need to look for the implied...

Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/5/17 Welcome to the daily updates and injury news article. We'll try and update it right up to line-up locks with as much information as comes across our desks. Let's get to it! Last night's picks can be found here, so you can wrap your mind around what you need to be looking at before lineups lock tonight. By the way - we keep our projection system updated with all of the changes as they occur throughout the day right up until lineup lock. Every day. If you want access to that system so you can cut out a lot of the research element, click the button below! START YOUR FREE TRIAL! What We Know Kyle Lowry is active, DeMar DeRozan and Patrick Patterson are out today against the Nets. Kyle Lowry has been dealing with illness but will go today against Brooklyn. DeRozan will miss another game, and Patterson will sit out after suffering a knee contusion against Orlando Friday night. Lowry playing hurts the value of Cory Joseph, but Norman Powell, Jared Sullinger, and Lucas Nogueira are all in consideration today against the Nets. What We're Waiting to Know Avery Bradley is a GTD against the Clippers Bradleys achilles has kept him out of 13 of the last 14 games, and is currently questionable against the Clippers. Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown continue to see a bump in usage if he misses yet again. The "Every Lineup" Guys Russell Westbrook If you want to pay up on this Super short slate there's really only one option. Russ is the only player over 10K on Draftkings, over at Fanduel it's him and Isaiah Thomas and Thomas isn't even in the conversation. Westy is the most explosive player going and the match up with Portland just adds to his upside. Depending what happens with Toronto there could be enough value to pay up without blinking, but even if DeMar and Lowry (who I would play over IT if I knew he was healthy) are good to go, you still need to work RW in to your lineups. He'll be in all of mine. Blake Griffin Four games back from injury and it seems that Blake Griffin is back to his old self. He just completed a back to back against the Suns and Warriors, and ran the boards for an average of 32 minutes in each. In both games he paid over 5X value. Today he goes in to Boston to take on the Celtics, and while they could slow up the Clippers game, defensively they're right on par with Golden State and Phoenix. While both of...

What We Know Danilo Gallinari and Darrell Arthur are out tonight against the Spurs Gallinari has been ruled out with a strained left groin. Wilson chandler will start in Gallinari's place but will have a tough match up with Kawhi Leonard. Arthur has also been ruled out, the rest of the Nuggets are fully expected to play tonight. Marc Gasol, Tony Allen and Chandler Parsons are out for rest tonight For Memphis The Grizzlies will rest these three against the Timberwolves on the second half of a back. We're still waiting on official word on the Memphis starters. Joel Embiid is out tonight against Miami Embiid is out, Robert Covington is questionable, and Nerlens Noel is probable for Philly tonight. If Covington sits, consider Jahlil Okafor, but I'd hold off on Jah and Nerlens if they're just splitting time at the five. Kemba Walker will play tonight for the Hornets. Walker was questionable with an illness but seems to feel good enough to go tonight. Miles Plumlee may also go tonight for Charlotte if the trade is finalized in time. This could hurt Frank Kaminskys value. If Kaminsky starts he remains an excellent play. Zach Lavine is out for Minnesota tonight. Lavine has been ruled out after leaving Friday's game with a knee contusion. Brandon Rush will make a great value play if news breaks that he is starting in Lavines place. What We're Waiting to Know Thaddeus Young and Rodney Stuckey are questionable tonight for the Pacers. If word comes down that these guys are sitting, C.J. miles becomes a nice play for tournaments as he sees a 2% usage bump with those two off the court. The "Every Lineup" Guys Kevin Love Cleveland travels in to New York for a nationally televised game and all signs point to Kevin Love making a return after back spasms sidelined him for two and a half games. Prior to leaving the OKC game early Love was...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Jeff Teague FD - $7600 DK - $7500Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 37.89 DK - 40.69 Last night Teague drew the fantasy dream match up of the Brooklyn Nets. Tonight, the Pacers welcome in Detroit and while they may not be the Nets, the Pistons are still a bottom ten defense for opposing point guards. Everything Doug said yesterday about Teague applies here, the minutes are about as secure as you can find, the assists are up, the rebounds have been coming at a steady clip and he's averaging about 16 points per game. Currently, he's coming in at a nice bargain and as long as the price stays in the mid 7k range, he should definitely be in the conversation as a solid cash game play. George Hill FD - $5800 DK - $5600Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 31.9 DK - 33.67 George Hill has really been struggling lately, but there have been some signs of life. Last Saturday against the Grizzlies he shot over 50% from the floor putting up 16 points, and threw in 3 rebounds and 5 assists for good measure. He took a step back against Milwaukee on Wednesday but the Bucks are one of the best defenses in the league against opposing point guards. Tonight he draws Charlotte who are in the bottom half of the league defending against the one, and Kemba Walker is questionable with an illness. Even if Walker plays, he may not be feeling 100% and Hill could exploit that. While I feel a little uneasy about Hill until I see him consistently return to form, the price dropping to its lowest point since early November has me willing to roll the dice on this. Mike Conley FD - $7800 DK - $7100Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 37.91 DK - 40.16 More of a Draftkings play, though I wouldn't completely rule him out on Fanduel, Mike Conley has been having a very nice year so far. He's averaging 33 minutes per game and averaging nearly 2 points per minute. Vegas has this game set at nearly a pick'em so the minutes should be secure, but my biggest concern would be these two teams being among the 10 slowest paced in...
