FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 3/19/23 It feels crazy to say, but we're down to the final three weeks of the regular season. It always feels like a crawl midway through the year, but it feels like an absolute sprint when we get to this point. This time of the year couldn't get any more exciting either, with eight teams sitting within 3.5 games of one another in the Western Conference. Those clubs could finish anywhere between fifth and 12th, which is the difference between avoiding a play-in game and missing the tournament altogether. That means the stakes are as high as ever, so let's kick things off with the PG for one of those teams battling for those final spots.

Point Guard D'Angelo Russell FD - $8000 DK - $8100 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 36.79 DK - 36.96 It's strange that this youngster has been passed from team to team because Russell has been a great player throughout his career. The young guard is playing his best basketball since the trade back to LA, scoring at least 32 DraftKings points in five straight games. D-Lo is also averaging 40 fantasy points per game in that span, taking over ball-handling duties in the absence of LeBron James. That means more shots, assists, minutes, usage, and ball-handling, which should allow him to go off against this 19th-ranked Orlando defense. In his last matchup with the Magic, Russell registered a season-high 58 DK points in one of the best outings of his career. Markelle Fultz FD - $7600 DK - $6700 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 37.96 DK - 37.94 It was sad when Fultz was battling injuries through the first five years of his career, but this former top pick is showing why he was the most coveted basketball player in the world at one point. The feisty point guard has scored at least 27 DraftKings points in 17 of his last 19 games, generating a 35-point average in that span. He also comes into this matchup with 50 or more DK points in back-to-back games, the best stretch of his career. The bump in production is no surprise since he's being asked to...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 3/15/23 Man, if you can't adapt to chaos, this is not the time for you to play DFS. NBA DFS is always a challenging endeavour, but it becomes even more difficult at this time of the year. We have players rested every single night, and it becomes more problematic since every injury report is full as well. We're going to try our best to avoid DNPs, but that's unfortunately, going to happen at this time of the year. With that in mind, let's get started with two guards who are benefiting because of some absences.

Point Guard D'Angelo Russell FD - $8200 DK - $7700 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 36.17 DK - 37.63 The Russell trade looked like a win for the Lakers at the deadline, but it looks even better now. The former All-Star has scored at least 36 DK points in all three games since joining LA, posting a 44-point average in that span. That's the best stretch this guy has had all year, but it's clear the Lakers want him to run the offense. What really adds to his value here is the fact that LeBron James and Anthony Davis are expected to miss this game. That means D-Lo could play 40 minutes and take 20-plus shots while handling the ball on every possession. The matchup is the icing on the cake, with the Rockets ranked 28th in points allowed and 29th in defensive efficiency. Not to mention, they're surrendering the most fantasy points to opposing PGs, with Russell scoring at least 35 DK points in six of their last seven meetings. Devonte' Graham FD - $5700 DK - $5300 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 24.2 DK - 25.27 It's funny that we have Graham in here because he looked to be out of the league at the beginning of the season. Silly season will do that because Graham has stumbled into a prominent role with the Spurs. He's actually one of the only playmakers left on this roster, with Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassell, Tre Jones, Malaki Branham, and Jeremy Sochan all on the injury report. This tanking team will surely rest some of those...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 3/12/23 This is a huge day for yours truly. Many of my season-long leagues are coming down to the wire, and this slate determines where my teams will end up in terms of playoff positioning. That has me motivated more than ever because I've done a ton of research to get ready for this card. The only thing that drives me crazy is that we have OKC playing a B2B. Who knows who will play for the Thunder a day ahead of time which sucks because they have the best matchup on the board. With that said, let's kick things off with the best scorer in the NBA right now.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $10600 DK - $10500 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 49.52 DK - 51.99 We don't have a ton of games, so it's going to be impossible to fade Dame with the way he's playing right now. This All-Star is leading the league in scoring over the last month, averaging 36.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 7.3 assists across his last 28 games. Lillard has also scored at least 39 DK points in all 28 of those, averaging nearly 60 fantasy points per game in that span. He's simply doing everything for a team trying to sneak into the postseason, and this is an important game against a struggling Pelicans team. In his last five matchups with New Orleans, Dame is posting a 59-point average against them. Josh Giddey FD - $8000 DK - $8000 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 39.59 DK - 40.87 We're taking a bit of a guess here, but we're going to assume that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams are rested in this B2B. Both guys had to sit earlier in the week in a B2B, and both guys played significant minutes on Saturday night. That means Giddey should do everything for Oklahoma City, averaging a career-high 37 DK points per game with those two in the lineup. We expect 40 fantasy points to be his floor if both of those guys are out because Giddey has at least 50 DraftKings points in four of his last six games. Facing San...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 3/8/23 We have fewer than 20 games remaining for every team, which is crunch time in the Western Conference. We have 13 teams battling for 10 playoff spots, and all of them are realistically in contention. It's crazy to have so many teams relevant at this point of the season, but it should lead to some fun basketball over the closing six weeks.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $11200 DK - $11500 Opponent - BOS Proj Pts FD - 54.5 DK - 57.3 Many people will see that Dame is facing Boston and fade him, but that's an excellent opportunity to hop on the train. It really doesn't matter who Lillard faces right now, scoring at least 52 DraftKings points in 16 of his last 22 games. He's also averaging 60 DK points per game for that span and is doing everything for this offense with Anfernee Simons sidelined. That's led to Lillard taking 26 shots a night over his last eight outings while playing nearly 40 minutes a game. That usage is absurd, making Dame tough to fade, no matter who he faces. It's not like the Celtics defense has been scary recently anyway, allowing at least 107 points in 11 straight games while surrendering 118 points per game in that stretch. Delon Wright FD - $5800 DK - $5200 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 28.92 DK - 27.34 This guy showed us on Tuesday why he's such a good fantasy option. Wright scored just three points on four shots but finished with 28 DK points in another stat-stuffing gem. What's made him so good is stepping into this expanded role, taking over starting point guard duties in the absence of Monte Morris. It's allowed Delon to post a 32-point average across his last eight outings. That's all you can ask for from a sub-$6K player, and he's proven to be a per-minute stud throughout his career, thanks to his stat-stuffing nature. Atlanta is an amazing matchup too, ranked 21st in both points allowed and defensive efficiency. Kyrie Irving (FD $9600 DK $9400) is averaging 55 DK points per game over his last three outings and is clearly benefiting from all the attention Luka Doncic...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 3/5/23 We always love the NBA but man, is this season getting exciting! We have 10 teams within 5.5 games of one another in the Western Conference, and those clubs could finish anywhere between fourth and 13th. That's hard to believe with fewer than 20 games remaining, and it means anything can happen over these closing six weeks. With that in mind, let's start with a point guard for one of those battling teams!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Jordan Clarkson FD - $6900 DK - $7300 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 33.68 DK - 35.66 Clarkson can be a frustrating player to watch at times, but this guy deserves some credit for what he's done this year. JC has been considered a volatile bench scorer throughout his career, but he's done a wonderful job as Utah's starting point guard. Clarkson is averaging 34 DraftKings points per game this season, setting career highs across the board. What makes him so intriguing here is the fact that Utah is so shorthanded, trading away Mike Conley at the deadline and losing Lauri Markkanen and Collin Sexton to injuries. That means JC could be looking at 35 minutes, 20 shots, and a usage rate north of 30 percent! It's not like the Thunder are a terrifying matchup, with Clarkson collecting 37 DK points in their one matchup. Tyus Jones FD - $6000 DK - $3100 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 33.11 DK - 33.39 Ja Morant can't seem to go in public without waving a gun around, so, he's going to be suspended for the next two games. Anytime Morant is sidelined, Jones is always one of the best streamers out there. Tyus always starts at PG when Morant is sidelined, scoring at least 34 DraftKings points in eight of the nine starts he's made this year. That's no surprise since Jones averaged 30 DK points per game in 23 starts last year. That makes this DraftKings price laughable, especially since Memphis is missing Steven Adams, Dillon Brooks, and Brandon Clarke as well. The Clippers sound like a scary matchup on the surface, but they have a bottom-five defense since the All-Star break. Dennis Schröder...
