We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Russell Westbrook FD - $6800 DK - $8500 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 45.99 DK - 49.19 This might be the first time I've written up Westbrook all season, but this is the spot to use him. The most crucial factor is that Anthony Davis and LeBron James are expected to miss this game. That means Westbrook can return to the high-usage guard that made him a $10K player in his days with OKC, stuffing the stat sheet at ease. That paired with the matchup makes Russ impossible to avoid, with Houston playing at the second-fastest pace in the NBA while ranked dead-last in defensive efficiency. He's crushed them in their three meetings this season, averaging 23.7 points, 10 rebounds, and 8.7 assists per game. Cameron Payne FD - $6800 DK - $6500 Opponent - MIA Proj Pts FD - 37.31 DK - 38.39 Cam has been great filling in for the Suns. They're currently missing Chris Paul and Devin Booker, leaving Payne with all the usage he can handle. He's actually scored at least 39 DraftKings points in three straight outings, averaging 46 fantasy points per game in that span. That's no surprise when you see that Cam averaged 40 fantasy points per game in his three starts for CP3 last season. All of that means he should probably be an $8K player, and it limits any risk from this tough matchup. With all that said, this is the second half of a B2B, so if Payne is rested for some reason, don't forget about Aaron Holiday. We like whoever starts at point guard for the Blazers, with Anfernee Simons and Brandon Williams both way too cheap. Shooting Guard Jalen Green FD - $6000 DK - $5700 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 26.3 DK - 27.77 Most rookies tend to get off to slow starts, which was certainly the case for Green. With that said, he's really found his stride recently, scoring at least 28 DraftKings...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 3/6/22 Last night was a fantastic night of basketball. Right when I thought I never wanted to see the Lakers again, LeBron James reminded me why he's the greatest player of our generation. His 56 points were a pleasure to watch and nights like those remind you how special this sport can be. We likely won't get anything like that here, but we do have eight games making up this Sunday card.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Reggie Jackson FD - $7000 DK - $8700 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 37.4 DK - 39.48 This DraftKings price is nuts, but Reggie has earned every bit of it with his ravishing play. He had 36 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists in the most recent game, giving him a 40-point average over his last nine outings in total. It's easy to understand why he's been so productive when looking at his role, taking over this offense in the absence of Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Norman Powell. In this expanded role, Reggie is averaging about 35 minutes, 20 shots, and a 30 percent usage rate. That's all you can ask for, and it should be easy to continue here with New York ranked 19th in defensive efficiency ratings. Malachi Flynn FD - $6300 DK - $5400 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 32.91 DK - 33.23 With Fred VanVleet likely missing another game, Flynn should get another start at point guard for Toronto. He's been tremendous in this role, scoring at least 34 DraftKings points in three of his four starts. The simple fact is, the Raptors aren't taking this guy off the floor with FVV sidelined, playing 36 minutes a game in this newfound role. Getting a 34-point floor and 36 minutes is more indicative of an $8K player, and it makes Flynn one of the best values on both sites. Cleveland is definitely no easy matchup, but it really doesn't matter if Malachi continues to play 35-40 minutes at this price. Ja Morant has been averaging over 50 DraftKings points per game for a month now and gets the best matchup in fantasy basketball. Shooting Guard Gary Trent Jr. FD - $6600...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 3/2/22 We're down to about one month of NBA basketball! This season has flown by, and I'm disappointed that it's winding down to an end. In any case, it makes these final five weeks extremely exciting because most teams are still in the race. Many teams here are battling for playoff positioning, and it looks like we'll have a ton of close games on this ledger. There's a lot to discuss with this Wednesday card, so let's get started with a couple of cheap point guards.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Brandon Goodwin FD - $5500 DK - $6000 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 29.8 DK - 29.71 The Cavaliers backcourt has been throttled by injuries, but Goodwin has been a pleasant surprise for them. He's scored at least 23 DraftKings points in four of his five starts this season, averaging over 34 DK points per game in those four outings. That's a ridiculous total from a player sitting around $6K, and he should be a lock for 35-40 minutes with Darius Garland, Collin Sexton, and Rajon Rondo all injured. Getting to face Charlotte might be the best part of this, though, with the Hornets ranked second in pace, 23rd in defensive efficiency, and 28th in points allowed. BG actually played them in one of his five starts, collecting 39 DK points across 36 minutes of action in one of the best games of his career! Gabe Vincent FD - $4000 DK - $4200 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 21.1 DK - 21.37 Gabe has been underrated all season long. He's filled in for Tyler Herro and Kyle Lowry at different times this season, starting at point guard in 20 games. He's actually scored at least 21 DK points in 18 of those, providing a 28-point average in those outings. That's a ridiculous total from a $4K player, and we simply can't overlook the fact that he's playing 30-plus minutes in this expanded role. Milwaukee sounds like a tough matchup on the surface, but they rank sixth in pace and 16th in total defense. We just love this pricing with Vincent because it makes it so much easier to get studs into...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 2/27/22 Lineup construction is always fascinating on slates like this, though, and we still have a ton to discuss. With that in mind, let's kick things off with some cheap point guards! Head on over for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, our MLB Optimizer, and NHL Projections as well. Plus, our new player lab!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Reggie Jackson FD - $6800 DK - $7600 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 37.44 DK - 39.5 Reggie can be tough to trust, but he's the focal point of this Clippers offense right now. That's not exactly the best thing for Lo Angeles, but it's massive for Jackson's fantasy value. What's made him so good are the absences in LA, with Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, and Norman Powell all out for the Clips. That has led to Jackson leading the club with a 28 percent usage rate while playing 35 minutes a night. He's also the primary ball-handler and regularly takes 20 shots a game! All of that usage has led to Jackson scoring at least 29 DraftKings points in six straight games, en route to a 37-point average. That should be easy to duplicate here, with Houston ranked dead-last in defensive efficiency and points allowed. In this matchup last week, Reggie registered 40.3 DK points in one of his best performances of the season. Alec Burks FD - $4900 DK - $5200 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 27.33 DK - 27.61 Burks has had a rollercoaster season in terms of production, but it's easy to understand why. He was relegated to bench duties when Kemba Walker and Derrick Rose were both around, but he's now the starting point guard in NY with both guys out. He actually received 34 minutes in his first start on Friday, and that's pretty much the guy we've seen all year. In fact, Alec is averaging 29 DK points per game across 35 minutes a night in his 22 starts this season. That's all you can ask for from a $5K player, especially when you need some cheap guys to help fill in studs like our next recommendation! Russell Westbrook has been terrible recently, but his $8K price tag makes him a decent option with his triple-double upside. Shooting Guard Devin Booker FD - $9300 DK - $9500 Opponent...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 2/16/21 This is my final article before the All-Star break. It's safe to say that it was one of the craziest first halves ever in the history of the NBA, but it seems like the bulk of the craziness is behind us. All the COVID stuff has died down in the NBA, but the injuries are still coming in hot. That's going to be a significant theme in this article, so let's kick things off with two point guards who benefit from others' mishaps!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Seth Curry FD - $5700 DK - $5700 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 29.26 DK - 30.31 This pricing is honestly stupid. I mean, who the heck do the Nets have right now? James Harden is dancing in Philly while Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Ben Simmons are all in street clothes. That means Curry is the offense right now, putting him in line for 35 minutes, 20 shots, and a 30 percent usage rate. That certainly appeared to be the case in his debut, with Seth collecting 23 points, five rebounds, and seven assists across 32 minutes of play. All of that makes him impossible to fade at this sub-$6K price tag, especially since he faces a subpar Knicks defense. Tyus Jones FD - $3800 DK - $3100 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 30.11 DK - 30.22 Tyus has always been tremendous when filling in for Ja Morant. It looks like he'll have to do that again, with Morant sitting out on Tuesday. Jones got the start at point guard in his absence, tallying 27 points and nine assists in one of the best games of his career. That's a ridiculous line from a guy flirting with the minimum in terms of pricing, but Tyus has been averaging close to 30 fantasy points per game in this starting role since the start of last season. The best part of this is the matchup, though, with Portland ranked 24th in points allowed and 28th in defensive efficiency. All you need is 20-25 fantasy points for Jones to be a great value, and that seems like his floor with so much in his favor....
