FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday, 2/23/21 After a Monday slate with a ton of blowouts, we might be in for the same thing here. We have Brooklyn, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Denver, and Los Angeles all as monster favorites, with only nine games on the board. That could limit some minutes for some big-name players, but it's hard to overlook how good some of those matchups are, though, too. That makes things interesting, so let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard De'Aaron Fox FD - $7900 DK - $8000 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 42.85 DK - 43.81 Fox has quietly been one of the best point guards in the NBA over the last month. Over his last 16 games played, Fox is averaging 44 DraftKings points per game, scoring at least 32 fantasy points in each of those. That's a heck of a run, and it's hard to understand why he's not a $9K player. The matchup only adds to his intrigue, with the Nets ranked 28th in total defense while playing at the eighth-fastest pace in the NBA. Those are two huge factors for Fox, and he should have no problem exploiting lackluster defenders like James Harden and Kyrie Irving. Dennis Smith Jr. FD - $4600 DK - $4200 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 27.16 DK - 26.31 Saben Lee FD - $0 DK - $3200 Opponent - ORL We're going to cheat a little bit and get both of these guys in here. The problem is, only one of them will probably play well. The Derrick Rose trade moved them into the rotation, while the Delon Wright injury has forced them into huge roles. Smith was the star in the first game without Wright, dropping 28 DK points despite not making a single shot. That made him highly-owned in the next slate, but Lee came in and collected 30 fantasy points across 33 minutes of play, leaving Smith with crumbs. That means at least one of these guys will be productive, and they both remain way too cheap. We bet that Smith will be the one to start, which makes him the better option. Damian Lillard has been running the show...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Friday, 2/19/21 After a slow Thursday slate, we're back to a full one here. We have nine games on the docket, with the Houston-Dallas matchup getting postponed. Losing that game takes out some big-name players, but there's still plenty of good options on the board. There's a lot to discuss, so let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Ja Morant FD - $7100 DK - $7400 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 42.14 DK - 43.16 It's crazy that Morant remains so affordable on both sites. This dude has been a monster when healthy, and we genuinely believe he'll be a $9,000 player by the end of the season. He showed why in his first week before getting injured, averaging over 55 fantasy points per game. While he did struggle a little in his return from his ankle issue, he's still scored at least 32 DraftKings points in six-straight while dropping 46-plus in back-to-back games. The talent will eventually overwhelm this price, and we love that he faces a 22nd-ranked Detroit defense here as well. Darius Garland FD - $5400 DK - $ Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 31.04 DK - 32.18 Talk about some mispricing. Garland has hovered around $5K ever since he returned from injury, and it makes no sense why. We're talking about a player who averaged 34 DK points per game across 34 minutes a night before his injury. That's what we've seen lately, with Garland averaging 28 DK points per game across his last 11 outings. That's all you can ask for from a sub $6K player, especially when this is a blossoming 21-year-old who will only get better as the season progresses. Facing a shorthanded Nuggets team that ranks 16th in defensive efficiency isn't worrisome either. Jamal Murray has been stellar the last three games, and his usage should continue to rise with so many Nuggets sitting. Shooting Guard Fred Vanvleet FD - $8000 DK - $7800 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 47.83 DK - 48.54 With Kyle Lowry out for the next few games, FVV will be running things for the Raptors. That was certainly the case on Thursday when...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Thursday, 2/18/21 After a crazy slate on Wednesday, things are much tamer here. It's actually one of the smallest slates of the season, with only three games on the docket. That makes things relatively easy to figure out but mixing the right studs with the right value plays is absolutely critical. That's why we have a good mix here, so let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Kendrick Nunn FD - $5100 DK - $5300 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 24.02 DK - 24.55 We have some big dogs coming later in this article, so let's kick things off with a couple of good value plays. Nunn is just that, starting at point guard in the absence of Goran Dragic. That expansion in his role has led to the best stretch of his career, averaging 29 DraftKings points per game across 34 minutes a night over his last 14 outings. Getting 29 fantasy points from a player barely cracking $5K is huge, and it's hard to understand why he remains so cheap on both sites. The best part of this might be the matchup, though, with Sacramento ranked dead-last in both points allowed and defensive efficiency. Cory Joseph FD - $3800 DK - $3900 Opponent - MIA Proj Pts FD - 24.55 DK - 24.34 Joseph has always been a solid veteran, and it's clear Luke Walton has inserted him into the starting lineup to light a fire under some of the young guys. In that first start on Tuesday, Joseph played 31 minutes and dropped a season-high 33 DraftKings points. That extends a stretch in which he's averaging 26 fantasy points per game across his last three fixtures, playing at least 27 minutes in each of those. Harrison Barnes and Richaun Holmes's injuries should guarantee him even more minutes, making him the best punt play below $4K on both sites. Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $11000 DK - $10600 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 50.72 DK - 54.46 This dude put on one of the performances of the season on Thursday, and it's clear he's fully motivated after a questionable end to his Rockets tenure. He...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 2/17/21 If you love DFS chaos, this is the slate for you. We've had three postponements already, and it's scary to think how much will change in the next 24 hours. What's even more concerning is the fact that we have nearly 10 teams on the second half of a back-to-back set. That causes even more mayhem, and this slate will be all about following the news. With that in mind, let's get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $9500 DK - $10300 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 51.78 DK - 54.54 With Jusuf Nurkic and C.J. McCollum missing games, Lillard is an easy pick. He's actually got a usage rate north of 30 percent with those guys off the floor, regularly averaging 35 minutes and 20-plus shots a night. That monster role has led to some ridiculous production, scoring at least 48 DraftKings points in 13 of his last 14 games. That monster floor looks even more enticing when you consider that New Orleans ranks 28th in defensive efficiency, plummeting down those standings over the last three weeks. Jamal Murray FD - $6500 DK - $7100 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 35.3 DK - 36.43 Murray didn't play a great game by the eye test on Tuesday, but he somehow finished with a monster fantasy game. He had nine turnovers but still provided 25 points, six rebounds, six assists, and three steals in one of his best stat-stuffing games of the year. The nine turnovers are actually slightly encouraging because it shows just how much usage he's getting right now with Denver being so shorthanded. They're currently without Monte Morris, Paul Millsap, and Will Barton, which should force Murray into another monster game. The matchup might be the best part of this play, though, and we'll discuss that more later. If Facundo Campazzo gets another start, don't overlook him in Denver. Shooting Guard Bradley Beal FD - $9900 DK - $9800 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 54.7 DK - 56.08 It's extraordinary to see Beal below $10,000 on both sites. This dude is leading the NBA in scoring and dropping 50 fantasy points on...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday, 2/16/21 This is one of those stars and scrubs slates. We say that because every top-notch option seems to have a great matchup. Deciphering which ones to use will be the difference, and that's why we have a nice mix of cheap guys and expensive ones in this article. There's a lot to talk about, though, so let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Ja Morant FD - $7100 DK - $7500 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 41.67 DK - 42.84 Ja has been slightly disappointing for fantasy this season, but it's just a matter of time before he sees a $1,000 price increase on both sites. We say that because he played at a $9,000 level to start the season, averaging 56 DraftKings points per game before getting injured in the second week. He's shown some flashes of that recently, averaging 32.4 fantasy points per game across his last 10 outings. That's plenty good from a $7K player, and we really want to hop on this train before it gets too fast. We expect improvement because there are so many injuries in Memphis, with De'Anthony Melton, Jaren Jackon, and Desmond Bane all sidelined. We're certainly not worried about him facing a 28th-ranked Pelicans defense, either. Kemba Walker FD - $6200 DK - $6500 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 34.92 DK - 36.24 How often do we see a guy like this priced below $7,000? We're talking about a former All-Star who's posting a 28 percent usage rate for the season while seeing his role increase because of Marcus Smart's absence. That doesn't even consider that he's attempting 17 shots a game over his last six outings, making him hard to fade in the low $6K range. He's also coming off two of his best games of the season, averaging 37 fantasy points per game across his last two outings. That directly correlates with his minute's bump, and we're definitely not concerned about him facing a 21st-ranked Denver defense. If you're looking for someone cheaper, Monte Morris could be playing 30 minutes for the shorthanded Nuggets. Shooting Guard Dillon Brooks FD - $5300 DK - $5500 Opponent...
