We'll give you a bunch of main slate plays today, and sprinkle in a few select plays from earlier slates as well. So, without further ado, let's get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Malcolm Brogdon FD - $7700 DK - $7300 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 39.46 DK - 40.81 Brogdon is quietly one of the best all-around point guards in the NBA and people need to take notice of how good this kid truly is. What makes him so special are his stat-stuffing ways, averaging 20.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game. That's led to him scoring at least 32 DraftKings points in all four fixtures this season and that's a heck of a floor from a player south of $8K. All of that pairs beautifully with this matchup, facing a Cleveland team that owned the worst defensive rating in the NBA last season. That was certainly evident when Brogdon averaged 45 DK points per game in three outings against them last year. Elfrid Payton FD - $5200 DK - $5900 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 38.46 DK - 38.13 Payton found his way into this article on Tuesday and we're going to keep going back to him until his price rises to where it should be. What kept it so low were two terrible games to start the year but scoring 33 and 43 DK points in his last two outings show just how good he can be. Much like Brogdon, Payton provides value through stat-stuffing and that gives him a pretty nice floor considering his shot is busted. We're talking about a dude who's collected 41 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists in those two games and he seems to always flirt with triple-doubles when given the minutes to do so. The best...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 12/30/20 It's been an awesome start to the NBA season! Yesterday's article was full of great plays like Elfrid Payton, Tyler Herro, Zach LaVine and Julius Randle and we're going to look to keep that momentum rolling here. This is a much smaller slate though, with only six games on the docket. Without further ado, let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $11400 DK - $10700 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 58.24 DK - 62.9 Doncic is obviously one of the best players in fantasy basketball and it's just a matter of time before he drops a 60-burger on someone's head. That actually should have happened on Sunday but Luka was limited to just 26 minutes because of the 51-point win over the Los Angeles Clippers. That was his third-straight game with at least 44 DraftKings points though and that's likely going to be his floor for most of the season. The thing that we really love is his usage with Kristaps Porzingis sidelined, leading the NBA with a 38 percent usage rate. That's a monster total and that's really bad news for a Charlotte club ranked 24th in total defense last season. Kyrie Irving FD - $9400 DK - $8900 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 46.06 DK - 47.27 Irving has been sparkling in his first few games of the season and it extends a rather remarkable run from 2019 as well. In fact, Irving averaged 48 DK points per game in limited action last season and is backing that up with a 46-point average this year. That should make him a five-figure player on both sites but he remains a solid value in the $9,000 range. The best part about using him today is the fact that he gets to match up with Trae Young. Not only is Young a terrible defender, it's also the sort of matchup that will light a fire under Kyrie. Not to mention, Atlanta ranked 27th in defensive efficiency last season. Dejounte Murray is flirting with triple-doubles regularly and remains a good value on both sites. Shooting Guard Khris Middleton FD - $7800 DK -...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday, 12/29/20 We've had about a week of basketball to research and it's been a very interesting start to the season. There have been numerous injuries and a lot of resting in the opening week and that's expected to be the case for the whole year. Luckily, we don't have much in terms of back-to-backs here, so, resting shouldn't be a huge issue. With that in mind, let's break down this Tuesday slate.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $9400 DK - $9600 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 49.99 DK - 52.84 Curry has always been a stud but he should go crazy this season with Kevin Durant gone and Klay Thompson injured. That's certainly been the case in the early going, posting a 31 percent usage rate while taking 21 shots a game. That usage is big news for a dude who might be the best shooter of all-time and his 44 fantasy points per game thus far might end up being his floor from here on out. We love the matchup against Detroit too, as we should have a competitive matchup against one of the worst teams in the NBA. Golden State playing close games is arguably the most important aspect of Curry's value. Elfrid Payton FD - $4800 DK - $5500 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 32.55 DK - 32.1 Payton was downright dreadful in his first two games of the season but his stellar performance on Sunday shows the sort of potential this kid has. Elf provided 27 points and seven assists in that gem and he's plenty capable of providing fantasy lines like that regularly. In his final 21 games last season, Payton averaged 35.6 DK points per game. That obviously makes him a huge value in this $5,000 price range and we love that he faces a Cleveland defense surrendering the most fantasy points in the league to opposing point guards. Russell Westbrook has been amazing in his first few games with the Wizards and is another great pick with his stat-stuffing ways. Shooting Guard Zach LaVine FD - $7500 DK - $8400 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 40.02 DK - 41.77 It's strange to see...

DraftKings and FanDuel MLB Picks for Saturday 9/26/20 Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our MLB and NBA optimizers and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! The final weekend of the regular season is always a nightmare for DFS and we saw why on Friday. There were numerous starters held to just three or four innings, making it hard to know what to expect here. That's why we're going to focus on teams who have something to play for, so, let's start things off with one of those pitchers! Pitchers Brandon Woodruff FD - P 9300 DK - SP 8700 Opponent - STL (Adam Wainwright) Park - STL FD - 36.91 DK - 19.7 Woodruff has quietly been one of the best pitchers in the NL this season and we love that his team is actually playing for something. There's only a handful of teams doing that and it makes Woodruff one of the only reliable options out there. Getting a pitcher in a must-win game on a volatile slate is enough incentive to use Woodruff but he's been amazing for the second-straight year. In fact, he's pitching to a 3.43 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 11.1 K/9 rate this season. That fantastic K rate has led to an impressive floor, with Woodruff scoring at least 16 FanDuel points in all 12 starts this season. Getting to face a 24th-ranked Cardinals offense is the icing on the cake though. Lance McCullers Jr. FD - P 9500 DK - SP 8300 Opponent - TEX (Kyle Gibson) Park - TEX FD - 34.76 DK - 18.62 McCullers is a risky pitcher but his upside is hard to fade. We're talking about a guy who has at least 45 FanDuel points in three of his last four starts, pitching to a 1.83 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 10.1 K/9 rate in that span. That's the stud we love to see and the matchups against Texas is the thing that really makes him attractive here. The Rangers currently rank 29th or 30th in OBP, OPS, wOBA and runs scored. That's bad news against a hot pitcher like McCullers, particularly one who just went seven scoreless innings against them last week. That's why he and the Astros enter this matchup as a -210 favorite. Catcher/First Base Freddie Freeman FD - 1B 4300 DK - 1B 5500 Opponent - BOS (Tanner Houck) Park - ATL FD - 13.98 DK - 10.5 It's hard to overlook just how good this guy has been this season. He was actually in this article on Friday and unfortunately, didn't find his way...

DraftKings and FanDuel MLB Picks for Friday 9/25/20 Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our MLB and NBA optimizers and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! We're finally to the final weekend of the regular season. It's been an absolute sprint to get to this point and fortunately for us, there are still things that need to be decided. That means most big players should be in the lineup but there's certainly going to be some wackiness as the weekend progresses. That means you need to keep an eye on updates and capitalize on any major value out there. With that in mind, let's get into our Friday plays! Pitchers Carlos Carrasco FD - P 10800 DK - SP 10400 Opponent - PIT (Mitch Keller) Park - CLE FD - 42.54 DK - 23.23 While Carrasco is definitely a great pitcher, this is more about facing the Pirates. This offense is downright dreadful, ranked bottom-three in runs scored, OBP, OPS and wOBA. Their .631 OPS is on par with some of the worst hitters in any lineup and it's crazy that they're doing that as a unit. It's not like Carrasco is some bum either, owning a 2.90 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 10.7 K/9 rate this season. He's actually coming off of his best start of the year too, dropping 64 FanDuel points in seven scoreless innings. That has Cookie and the Indians entering this matchup as a -260 favorite. Chris Bassitt FD - P 8600 DK - SP 7900 Opponent - SEA (Yusei Kikuchi) Park - OAK FD - 32.26 DK - 16.71 This guy really deserves more credit. A 2.57 ERA and 1.21 WHIP on the season is impressive on its own but he's actually been better recently. Over his last three starts, Bassitt is pitching to a 0.46 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 8.7 K/9 rate. All of that makes him one of the best pitchers in this rotation and it's scary to think that he has a 0.89 ERA and 1.09 WHIP at home this season as well. Getting to face Seattle is the icing on the cake, with the Mariners sitting 24th in runs scored, 23rd in OBP, 28th in OPS and 22nd in K rate. All of that has Bassitt as a -210 favorite in this matchup. Catcher/First Base Freddie Freeman FD - 1B 4400 DK - 1B 5400 Opponent - BOS (Chris Mazza) Park - ATL FD - 15.22 DK - 11.44 This dude has been in these articles a lot recently and it's easy to understand why when you see his numbers. For...
