FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 3/3/21 This first half of the season has been nuts, and it's mercifully coming to an end. This slate is complete bonkers, with 10 games in total and numerous teams dealing with COVID issues. That's obviously going to be a major theme, so let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard LaMelo Ball FD - $8600 DK - $9200 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 49.39 DK - 50.16 Can we admire how special this kid is? He's just 19-years-old, and he's easily a Top-50 player in his rookie season. He's been particularly good recently, scoring at least 41 DraftKings points in seven of his last eight games while averaging 46 fantasy points per game across his last five fixtures. That's a ridiculous total, and he could be asked to do even more here with DeVonte'Graham and Gordon Hayward possibly missing this game. The best part might be this matchup, though, with Minnesota ranked third in pace and 28th in points allowed. In their one meeting earlier this year, Ball had another 46-point gem if you needed any more incentive. Théo Maledon FD - $4200 DK - $4800 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 23.7 DK - 24.7 This is certainly a risky play, but Maledon has carved out a nice little role with the Thunder. He's actually been inserted as the starting point guard with George Hill out of the picture, playing at least 28 minutes in 13-straight games. He's shown some flashes in that stretch, too, averaging 23 DK points per game in that span while dropping a 40-burger two games ago. Getting 23 fantasy points out of a $4,500 player is really all you can ask for, and that shouldn't be tough to duplicate against a 28th-ranked Dallas defense. Kyle Lowry could go nuts with half of the Raptors roster missing. Shooting Guard Terry Rozier FD - $7000 DK - $7900 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 39.72 DK - 41.05 We already discussed how Graham and Hayward could miss this game, forcing Ball and Rozier to take over. Scary Terry is actually in the midst of a breakout season, averaging 34 fantasy points per game....

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday, 3/2/21 With the All-Star break this weekend, we have a ton of games every day this week. Tuesdays usually tend to be lighter, but we have a full seven-game ledger here. That's all we can ask for, and it should be interesting with so much COVID news going on. That has forced the Toronto-Detroit game to be postponed already, and other teams have some issues a well. So, keep an eye on all that before submitting lineups.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Ja Morant FD - $7100 DK - $7000 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 38.26 DK - 39.17 This price seems absolutely ridiculous. It's easy to see why when you see Morant's 23-point dud on Saturday, but that was hardly his fault. It was actually the Rockets fault, limiting Morant to just 25 minutes because of a 49-point blowout. That means we get quite the discount here because we believe Morant should be north of $8K in such an appetizing matchup. This is a Washington team that plays at the fastest pace in the NBA while ranked 27th in defensive efficiency. That's really scary against a guy this talented and athletic, with Ja averaging 36 DK points per game despite the most recent dud. Monte Morris FD - $4800 DK - $4600 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 27.83 DK - 27.96 With all of the injuries in Denver, Morris has established a nice little role for himself. After playing 33 minutes on Monday, Morris has now reached at least 28 minutes in six-straight outings. That's all we can ask for from someone this cheap, and he's been providing some great fantasy value in that stretch too. In fact, MM is averaging 26 DraftKings points per game across his last five outings and should continue to play big minutes with Gary Harris, Paul Millsap, Facundo Campazzo, and JaMychal Green all out of the lineup. With Elfrid Payton out, Derrick Rose has been the starting point guard in New York. Shooting Guard Bradley Beal FD - $10200 DK - $9700 Opponent - MEM Proj Pts FD - 51.59 DK - 52.56 We initially had Fred VanVleet slated in at this spot, but we're...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Friday, 2/26/21 It sounds crazy to say, but we're almost halfway through the season. It feels like last week when Los Angeles won the bubble title, but here we are deep into another season. In any case, we're looking to finish these last two weeks off strong, and this Friday slate is another fantastic one. We have nine games in total, beginning at 7:30ET, so let's get to it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $10000 DK - $9700 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 51.18 DK - 54.2 Curry was really frustrated when he couldn't play the Hornets last week, and he'll surely be hungry to roast them here. We say that because he grew up in Charlotte and has traditionally torched them throughout his career. In fact, Curry is averaging 27.2 points, 6.8 assists, and 1.3 steals en route to a ridiculous 124 offensive rating in 16 meetings with them. That shows us just how motivated he is to face his childhood team, and that's scary for a guy who's already playing at an MVP level. Chef has at least 42 DraftKings points in 12 of his last 13 games, averaging 51 fantasy points per game in that span. De'Aaron Fox FD - $7800 DK - $7700 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 44.42 DK - 45.34 Talk about a guy who's cruising right now. Fox has been one of the best point guards in the NBA over the last month, averaging 25.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 8.6 assists, and 1.2 steals over his last 17 games. That's obviously absurd, and it doesn't even include a Thursday gem in which he provided 29 points and 11 assists against a top-ranked Knicks defense. This Pistons defense is far from top-ranked, sitting 18th in defensive efficiency. All of that makes it hard to believe that Fox remains below $8,000, making him one of the best high-end values on the slate. Goran Dragic just returned from injury and is too cheap below $5K. Shooting Guard Josh Jackson FD - $5700 DK - $6400 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 35.34 DK - 35.52 With Derrick Rose in New York, Delon Wright injured, and...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Thursday, 2/25/21 After a chaotic slate on Wednesday, things should be a little more straightforward here. We say that because New Orleans is the only team playing the second half of a back-to-back set and all of those youngsters are in plenty good shape to handle that. No B2Bs means we don't have as much injury news to worry about, making things a bit easier on us. There's a lot to get into, though, so let's kick things off with the speedster from Sacramento.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard De'Aaron Fox FD - $7700 DK - $7800 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 42.32 DK - 43.49 There are a few higher-end guys that are priced criminally, and Fox is definitely one of them. We say that because he's been one of the best point guards in the NBA this month, averaging 25.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 8.6 assists, and 1.2 steals over his last 17 games played. That's an All-Star caliber stretch, and it certainly means he should be north of $8K. While some might be worried about the matchup against a stingy New York team, they're going to be without Elfrid Payton. He's their defensive stopper against point guards, and a matchup with Derrick Rose could allow Fox to feast. Monte Morris FD - $4700 DK - $4800 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 25.93 DK - 26.12 With Gary Harris, Paul Millsap, JaMaychal Green, and P.J. Dozier all sidelined, Denver has chosen to go small. That has forced Morris into some big minutes, playing at least 26 minutes in eight of his last 11 games. That's all you can ask for from a guy this cheap, especially when he averaged over 26 DK points per game in the 26 outings he played at least 26 minutes last season. Look at that, we have a 26-point projection here too! The best part of this might be the matchup, though, with Washington ranked 28th in defensive efficiency while playing at the fastest pace in the NBA. They're also surrendering the second-most fantasy points to opposing guards as well. Look for Immanuel Quickley and Derrick Rose to possibly start for Elfrid Payton. Shooting Guard James Harden...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 2/24/21 This slate could be nuts. We say that because seven teams are playing the second half of a back-to-back set. That's going to cause chaos in terms of late news, and you'll need to keep an eye on who plays. We have a good idea of who will sit, though, and that'll definitely play a factor in this article.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Dejounte Murray FD - $7500 DK - $7400 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 39.55 DK - 40 This honestly might be the best play on the board. It sounds like San Antonio will be without Keldon Johnson, DeMar DeRozan, Derrick White, and LaMarcus Aldridge. That leaves Murray as the only starter left, likely forcing him into the most significant usage of his career. We love that for a guy who's thrived with limited usage, averaging over 35 DraftKings points per game, despite ceding touches to those aforementioned starters. Murray could be looking at 40 minutes and 20-plus shots with so many guys out, which is scary since he gets most of his value through rebounds, assists and, steals. We also don't mind that Oklahoma City owns a 24th OPRK against opposing point guards this season. Kendrick Nunn FD - $5600 DK - $6100 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 32.6 DK - 33.3 Nunn has quietly been one of Miami's best players this season, and these DFS sites need to take notice. The Goran Dragic injury is the thing that's opened things up for Nunn, scoring at least 25 fantasy points in eight of his last 10 games. He's going crazy in those eight outings, too, averaging 35 DK points per game in nearly 37 minutes a night. The matchup against Toronto is slightly problematic, but Nunn has had his best games against them this year, scoring at least 40 DK points in both of those outings. All of that would make you believe we're looking at an $8K player, but Nunn is still sitting around $6,000 on both sites. Darius Garland is too cheap every day, and he's obviously in play against a fast-paced Houston team. Shooting Guard Eric Gordon FD - $5300 DK - $6500 Opponent...
