DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Wednesday, 11/24/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 11/24/21 Thursday is an off day because of Thanksgiving, and it leaves us with one of the largest slates of the season here. We have 13 games making up this Wednesday card, with all but four teams in action. That's going to lead to a chaotic player pool, especially with so many guys sidelined. There's a lot to discuss with this slate, though, so let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Malcolm Brogdon FD - $7700 DK - $7600 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 40.04 DK - 41.51 This guy has been one of the most underrated players in the NBA throughout his career, and it's hard to understand why. Brogdon has scored at least 31 DraftKings points in 12 of his 14 games, averaging 41 DK points per game across 36 minutes a night in those outings. That's usually what you see from a $9K player, and it's strange that these sites overlook a player with such a monster role. All of that makes him enticing against anyone, but facing the Lakers is a pristine matchup. In fact, Los Angeles is surrendering the most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season. In his last two meetings with LA, Brogdon is averaging 26.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game. De'Aaron Fox FD - $7300 DK - $7600 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 40.86 DK - 41.54 Fox has really struggled by his standards, but it's just a matter of time before he gets rolling. The firing of Luke Walton is hopefully the spark he needs because that should help increase this team's pace. That's what we want for the fastest player in the NBA, playing at a $9K level throughout the second half of last season. It's not like he's been terrible anyway, scoring at least 25 DK points in 17 of 18 games this season, en route to a 35-point average. That's really all you can ask for from a player in this price range, and we truly believe he's got 50-point potential on this slate. The likelihood of that goes up here, with Portland ranked 25th in defensive efficiency ratings. That was...
DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Sunday, 11/21/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 11/21/21 I'd be lying to you if I said I was excited about this slate. After a fantastic weekend with a ton of games, we're down to just five games on this Sunday card. That would be ok, but we have just three games making up the night slate. That means the pickings are slim, and it becomes even more complicated with so many players on the injury report. That could lead to a ton of value, though, and it'll be interesting to see how things play out. With that in mind, let's get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Lonzo Ball FD - $6800 DK - $6800 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 36.09 DK - 36.45 Lonzo Ball has gotten a lot of crap ever since he was drafted, and I never really understood why. It's probably because of his dad, but this dude can straight ball. He's actually coming off his worst performance of the season on Friday but scoring 22 DraftKings points is nothing to be concerned with. That brought his season average to 32.1 DK points per game, which is a fantastic total from a sub-$7K player. He was also in one of the best stretches of his career before that, generating a 37-point average across his previous five fixtures. That's why our projections have him at 36 fantasy points, making him a great bet against an 18th-ranked Knicks defense. Derrick Rose FD - $5100 DK - $4600 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 30.93 DK - 31.65 It looks like Kemba Walker will sit here in the second half of a back-to-back set, forcing Rose into a starting job. Whenever D-Rose gets a start for Tom Thibideau, you know Coach Thibs will run him into the ground! That might not be good for him physically, but it's a blessing for our DFS lineups. If you look at the five games Rose has played at least 25 minutes this season, he's scored at least 28 DraftKings points in all of them en route to a 38-point average. That's a truly absurd average from someone this cheap, and it's no surprise when you see his 24 DK points per...
DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Wednesday, 11/17/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 11/17/21 Holy crap, this card is nuts! The 11 games would be wild no matter what, but all of the injuries make it one of the most fascinating slates of the season. We have numerous superstars expected to sit here, and it's opening up a ton of value across the board. There's a lot to discuss and more recommendations than usual, so let's go ahead and get into it! 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 Ricky Rubio FD - $6600 DK - $6500 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 39.36 DK - 40.51 Darius Garland FD - $6200 DK - $6500 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 33.71 DK - 35.64 It's hard to remember a team being this shorthanded. The frontcourt is absolutely decimated by injuries, but the backcourt lost its best scorer too. That happens to be Collin Sexton, leaving Rubio and Garland to feast. Garland has been the most reliable one, scoring at least 23 DraftKings points in every game this season, en route to a 32-point average. He's been even better without Sexton, scoring at least 28 DK points in six of his last seven games while cracking 35-plus in four of those. Rubio has also been stepping up for Sexton, scoring at least 29 DK points in five straight fixtures. He's also averaging nearly 40 fantasy points per game in that span, doing that damage off of the bench. Both of these guys should be asked to do more here with even more Cavs out, and we'll dive into that a little later in the article! Jalen Brunson FD - $6500 DK - $5700 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 32.84 DK - 33.98 This is the easiest play of the day. Dallas will be missing Luka Doncic here, leaving Brunson as the starting point guard. This is a guy who was going off anyway, averaging 30 DK points per game in just 29 minutes a night off the bench. That's a good indicator of how good this guard can be, and we absolutely love that he'll swallow up some of the usage that Doncic will leave behind. We're talking about a superstar with a 32 percent usage rate,...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Sunday, November 14, 2021
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 11/14/21 Most eyes will be focused on the NFL today, but we're going to keep grinding profits in NBA. Sundays are actually one of the best days of the week, with more amateurs playing than usual. That has me excited to get things going here because I have an excellent read on this slate too. Injuries have opened up a ton of value, and that'll undoubtedly be a significant theme in this article. With that in mind, let's get into it! Head on over for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, and NHL Projections as well. Plus, our new player lab!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $10300 DK - $11400 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 53.48 DK - 55.5 What If I told you that the best shooter of all time is on a heater? I think that'd make you want to use him, with Chef Curry cooking up the NBA right now. The former MVP is averaging 28.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.4 assists, and 1.6 steals en route to 52 DraftKings points per game. That's truly absurd, and it's even scarier when you see that he has 189 combined fantasy points over the last three games. That equates to a ridiculous 63-point average, the highest total in the NBA in that span. Facing Charlotte is simply a bonus, with the Hornets ranked third in pace and 27th in defensive efficiency ratings. They also happen to be Curry's childhood team, and he seems to always play better against them. Anfernee Simons FD - $4200 DK - $3500 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 19.89 DK - 21.35 Simons still has a limited role in Portland, but he's shown flashes this season. The Dunk Contest participant is averaging 19.4 DK points per game across just 22 minutes a night. That alone makes him a solid value around $4K, but he should be looking at his most prominent role of the season here. Damian Lillard has already been ruled out with an adductor issue, and it'll force Simons into the starting point guard job. That means his minutes, shot attempts, usage, and fantasy points could double, making him the best value of the day. We also don't mind that Denver surrenders the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing PGs, either. Monte Morris is still below...
DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Wednesday, 11/10/22
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 11/10/21 This slate is out of control. There are 13 games in total and 26 teams in action. That makes this the most prominent player pool we've seen all year, and it's absolute chaos with all of the injury news out there. What's also interesting is some of the price discrepancies between DraftKings and FanDuel. Some superstar guards have diminished prices on FanDuel, and it's really tough to understand why. We're actually going to kick things off with one of those, so let's get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Russell Westbrook FD - $9400 DK - $11300 Opponent - MIA Proj Pts FD - 50.91 DK - 54.09 Um, what are these sites thinking? I don't believe I've ever seen a player with a $2,000 discrepancy. Here we are, though, and it makes Westbrook one of the best plays on the board. The simple fact is, Russ is a stat-stuffing animal. He's struggled with his shot and decision-making all year but is still averaging 19.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, 8.9 assists, and 1.6 steals per game since the opener. That equates to a 45-point average, and it makes it impossible to understand why he's this cheap on FanDuel. What makes it even crazier is that LeBron James is out of the lineup, leaving Westbrook with even more stats and usage to swoop up. Just imagine how crazy of a line Westbrook could have if he knocked some shots down! Monte Morris FD - $4300 DK - $4400 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 27.02 DK - 27.55 Morris hasn't given us many games to get excited about this season, but this is a fantastic spot for the former Jayhawk. Morris has been starting as point guard for the Nuggets in the absence of Jamal Murray, regularly playing 30 minutes a night. He was more of a game manager with Nikola Jokic running the point, but now that Joker is suspended and Michael Porter Jr is injured, he has to do more offensively. He's certainly capable of that, averaging 26 DK points per game in the four outings he's played at least 30 minutes this season. That is pretty much what he did in the...
