FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 4/9/23 It's the final day of the regular season. If you're playing DFS today, god bless you! You know we'll be playing, though, and it's actually a great day to capitalize if you follow the NBA as closely as we do. Over half of the starters in the NBA will be resting on this slate, and it'll be easy to ride some stars-and-scrubs stacks. We have a few superstars in must-win games and numerous minimum-priced players who will step into some prominent roles. With that in mind, let's kick things off with one of those studs and then dive into the cheap guys!

Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $10400 DK - $11000 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 48.31 DK - 51.47 There are only a few superstars that we know will suit up and play a full allotment of minutes, and Curry is one of them. The Warriors are battling to hold the six-seed in the west, and that should force Curry to play his usual 30-35 minutes. We love that with the way Chef Curry is cooking right now, scoring at least 44 DraftKings points in eight of his last nine games. The former MVP also has a 50-point average for the year and should be locked in for a must-win game for the Warriors. That victory will be much easier against Portland, with the Trail Blazers ranked 27th in defensive efficiency. Not to mention, Curry has scored at least 51 DK points in four of his last five meetings with Portland. Shake Milton FD - $5400 DK - $6000 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 29.96 DK - 30.86 We've always enjoyed watching Shake get busy in limited minutes off the bench, and it was a treat to watch him run the show on Friday. With the whole starting lineup sitting on Friday, Milton scored 44 DK points across 43 minutes of action. He did that damage despite shooting just 7-of-22 from the field, and he'll surely have a better shooting night here. Shake has also started and played at least 35 minutes in nine games this year, totaling a 38-point average in those outings. That means...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 4/5/23 Playing DFS right now is not for the faint of heart. In fact, I wouldn't even play unless you have a ton of free time before first tip. We have whole teams resting players at this point, and it's imperative to follow every bit of news you see. That becomes even more critical on this slate because half the league is playing the second half of a back-to-back set. Those teams include Atlanta, Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles (Lakers), Memphis, Milwaukee, New Orleans, Sacramento, Toronto, and Washington. This week has already been chaotic, but these B2Bs will make this one of the most fascinating slates of the season.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $12200 DK - $12000 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 64.06 DK - 65.99 The Mavs got a gift when OKC blew a double-digit lead on Tuesday, and it should guarantee Doncic a few more starts. A win will move them to a tie with OKC, and you know this team will ride their superstar in this must-win game. Doncic is more than a superstar, though, leading the NBA with over 60 DraftKings points per game. His league-leading usage has led to that absurd average, and it should continue since he's also leading the league in usage. Sacramento is a sensational matchup, with the Kings ranked 28th in total defense. If Doncic gets the 40 minutes, 25 shots, and 40 percent usage rate we've become accustomed to, he needs to be the best bet for the top-scoring player on this slate. Jalen Brunson FD - $9400 DK - $9200 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 42.47 DK - 43.71 This price tag is a bit lofty, but Brunson will be tough to fade with Julius Randle missing this game. With the big man off the floor, Jalen generates a 32 percent usage rate, averaging 1.3 DK points per minute. That's an elite rate, and it should be his floor here since Brunson has a 45-point average across his last eight games. The matchup with Indiana is incredible, too, with the Pacers ranked 26th in defensive efficiency and 28th in points allowed. The boost in shots, minutes, and usage...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 4/2/23 We're down to the final week of the NBA season. There aren't many more chaotic times in the sports world because we have so many things to worry about. With that said, I've been zoned into the NBA since Day 1 because basketball is my passion. We have to admit that this time of the year can be frustrating, though, because the injury reports are ridiculous. We'll bank on some of those absences here, but let's get started with the best point guard in the NBA.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $12200 DK - $11800 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 64.45 DK - 67.93 This sounds crazy to say, but Dallas is on the verge of missing the postseason. That means they will lean on their superstar which was on full display when Luka collected 42 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists on Saturday. That might look like an outlier line, but Doncic leads the NBA with 61 DraftKings points per game. Not many players even have that sort of ceiling, and it gets even higher since the Mavs are fighting for their playoff lives. A matchup with Atlanta won't deter him from adding to those absurd averages, with the Hawks ranked 23rd in defensive efficiency and 25th in points allowed. Tre Jones FD - $5800 DK - $5700 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 30.1 DK - 29.81 The Spurs are trying their best to tank down the bottom of the standings, but they've kept Jones as their starting point guard. It's a bit of a surprise, but it makes him tough to avoid since Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell are both missing this game. Even with those guys in the lineup, Tyus has at least 24 fantasy points in nine straight games. He's also got a 31-point average in that span, which is brilliant for a sub-$6K player. The fact that Vassell and Johnson are out should guarantee Jones more usage, minutes, and shot attempts, which looks even better since he faces a Sacramento team that sits 28th in total defense. In the last game he finished against the Kings, Tre tallied 16 points, seven rebounds,...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 3/26/23 It's hard to believe, but we only have two weeks remaining in the regular season. However, this is one of the most challenging times to play DFS because the injury reports are laughably long. It would be one thing if we're dealing with just injuries, but throwing in resting players has DFS looking like a tsunami of chaos. The good news is that we have some information headed into this Sunday slate and will bank on some of that. With that in mind, let's start with one of the most improved players in the NBA.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Darius Garland FD - $8100 DK - $7500 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 38.12 DK - 39.59 Garland has taken his game to another level this season. The young guard is averaging 40 DraftKings points per game, which is a genuinely absurd average for a $7,500 player. It's not like his recent form has killed his salary, with DG posting a 38-point average across his last 14 outings. We expect that to be his floor in this matchup, with the Rockets ranked 28th in defensive efficiency and 29th in points allowed. They're also surrendering the most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season, with Garland dropping 53 DK points in their one matchup. There might not be a better play below $8,000. Dennis Smith Jr. FD - $6500 DK - $6000 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 32.52 DK - 31.95 This Charlotte roster is starting to throw in the towel. They've lost LaMelo Ball, Terry Rozier, and Kelly Oubre to injuries recently, and that should force Smith into the starting lineup. More importantly, he's a stat-stuffing point guard who will be the primary ball-handler for the remainder of the season. This expanded role has led to DSJ scoring at least 28 DraftKings points in 11 of his 14 starts this year while averaging over 32 fantasy points per game in those outings. He's doing that damage despite some poor shooting, but a revenge game against a freefalling Dallas defense should have him on target. The Mavs rank 24th in defensive efficiency and are 29th since acquiring Kyrie Irving. Marcus Smart (FD $6000 DK...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 3/23/23 Man, this time of the year is wild. The San Antonio Spurs are causing mayhem on every slate, and we have them again here. There's undoubtedly going to be some value from that team, but we have no clue who's even going to suit up! That's just the nature of some of these tanking teams, and it's something we'll have to deal with for the final three weeks. We still have some players in great spots, though, so let's kick things off with one of the best scorers of all time.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $10300 DK - $10500 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 51.2 DK - 53.65 We're only a few games away from Lillard getting shut down, but he's going to keep balling as long as Portland is alive in the playoff hunt. Despite losing six straight games, Dame is the leading scorer over the last month. He's got at least 42 DraftKings points in 31 straight games, averaging 36.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 7.3 assists per game in that span. That's hard to overlook, but it makes Dame impossible to avoid since Portland is expected to be without Jerami Grant and Anfernee Simons. That means Dame could be looking at 40 minutes, 30 shots, and a 40 percent usage rate against a 24th-ranked Utah defense. If he gets that sort of role, Lillard has to be one of the favorites for the high score on this slate! When he played the Jazz back on January 25, Dame dropped 89 DraftKings points in an absolute masterpiece. T.J. McConnell FD - $6300 DK - $5900 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 29.32 DK - 29.41 I'll always have a soft spot for McConnell because he was a minimum-priced stud in my largest GPP cash ever, and he's always played well when given the playing time and opportunity. That's what we have right now because TJ is locked into a 25-minute ball-handling role with Tyrese Haliburton injured. That's allowed McConnell to score at least 28 DK points in five straight fixtures while generating a 38-point average when he's played at least 24 minutes this season. His stat-stuffing...
