FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Saturday, 1/25/20
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 1/25/19 While we only have four games on this night slate, it should be an interesting one. All four games sit within a six-point spread.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Kyrie Irving FD - $8700 DK - $8700Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 47.87 DK - 48.67 Irving hasn't found his way into our articles much this season because of injury but he's been way too good to be priced this cheaply. In fact, the All-Star is averaging 26.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.4 steals en route to 47. 2 DraftKings points per outing. If you look at every other player below $9,000, none of them average more than 37 fantasy points per game. That shows you just how much of a value Kyrie is right now and some tough matchups along with missed time have lowered his price tag to these intriguing numbers. Irving has actually played the Sixers, Lakers, Jazz and Bucks over the last four games and is still averaging 44 fantasy points per game in that span. Detroit is certainly not on those teams levels defensively, sitting 20th in defensive efficiency. In his first game against Detroit, Irving dropped 52.3 DK points, if you needed any more incentive. Derrick Rose FD - $6800 DK - $7500Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 39.22 DK - 39.87 While Rose has been getting some slack for all of the All-Star votes he's been receiving, it's hard to argue with his recent numbers. Over his last nine games played, Rose is averaging 38 DraftKings points per game despite playing just 31 minutes per outing. That pairs nicely with the fact that he's been inserted into the starting lineup and Detroit is clearly realizing that this is their best playmaker right now. It's really no surprise that he's seen such an increase when you consider that Luke Kennard and Blake Griffin are both injured. That increase in role and production makes Rose a fantastic play against a Brooklyn, owning a 30th OPRK against PGs according to DraftKings. Chris Paul remains a nice value in the $7,000-range against a...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Wednesday 1/22/20
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 1/22/20 After a crazy 14-game slate on Monday and a bizarre one-gamer on Tuesday, we're back at it with 12 games here. What I love is that we have only one double-digit spread. That's a DFS player's dream after a ton of blowouts on Monday and it makes the picks so much easier to make. With that in mind, let's kick things off with one of the hottest players in the NBA!Head on over a for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, our NFL Optimizer and NHL Projections as well.

Point Guard Ben Simmons FD - $9300 DK - $9300Opponent - TORProj Pts FD - 51.07 DK - 51.82 Ever since Joel Embiid went down with injury, Simmons has been one of the best players in the NBA. In fact, the Aussie is averaging 21.7 points, 10.7 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 2.1 steals across his last nine games played. The most important part about that is that he's averaging 40 minutes a game in that span while handling the ball on nearly every possession. That's led to a 53-point average on DraftKings while scoring at least 45 fantasy points in all but one of those games. Monte Morris FD - $4000 DK - $4800Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 30.08 DK - 29.75 All of the injuries in Denver have really opened up things for Morris. While his fantasy production hasn't been great, there are signs that it will turn around shortly. When starting at point guard last season, Morris averaged 31 fantasy points per game. That looked like the guy we saw on Monday against the T'Wolves, with Morris dropping 27 DK points across 36 minutes of action. If he plays 36 minutes, we love him against a Houston club who surrenders the third-most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season. As long as Gary Harris and Jamal Murray remain out, Morris continues to be a great value below $5,000. Goran Dragic and Dejounte Murray are both in consideration facing two of the worst defenses in the NBA (Washington and New Orleans). Shooting Guard Donovan Mitchell FD - $6200 DK - $7800Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 39.62 DK - 41.02 This FanDuel price is simply ridiculous. If you take out one dud where Mitchell played just 21 minutes...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Saturday, 1/18/20
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 1/18/20 Before a tiny two-game slate on Sunday, we have a nice nine-gamer here. There are two games being played earlier in the day but we're going to go ahead and avoid those. What's also good news is the fact that we have every game starting by 9ET, making the injury reports much easier to figure out. With that in mind, let's get into our favorite plays of the day! Head on over a for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, our NFL Optimizer and NHL Projections as well. Plus our new player lab!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Chris Paul FD - $7100 DK - $7000Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 37.5 DK - 38.19 It's hard to understand why these sites keep Paul's price so affordable. Over his last 21 games played, Paul is averaging 38.9 DraftKings points per game across 33 minutes of action. That's the dude that we loved in his Clipper days and why he should be $1,000 more on each site. What makes him really attractive here is the matchup though, with Portland owning a 26th OPRK against opposing point guards this season. That's clear when you see that CP3 has at least 36 fantasy points in two of his three games against Portland this season. Markelle Fultz FD - $5400 DK - $6200Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 32.2 DK - 32.04 Fultz just recorded the second triple-double of his career earlier this week against the Lakers and that emphasizes just how much he's grown this season. Not only has he scored at least 26 DraftKings points in eight of his last nine games, Fultz is also averaging 32 fantasy points per game in that span. The thing that's really added to his value is the fact that D.J. Augustin is injured. Those two were essentially splitting the point guard minutes before and his absence should guarantee Fultz 30-35 minutes every night. We happen to love this matchup against a Golden State club who sits 23rd in defensive efficiency as well. Shabazz Napier is definitely too cheap with Jeff Teague being shipped off to Atlanta. Shooting Guard D'Angelo Russell FD - $7300 DK - $7400Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 38.01 DK - 40.28 Russell is quietly having a nice year for the Warriors and it's clear that he's going to remain...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Wednesday, 1/15/20
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 1/15/20 We have 10 games ahead of us here, with some great matchups on the ledger. What makes this one fascinating is the fact that we have a ton of superstars available. James Harden, Luka Doncic, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Nikola Jokic and Karl-Anthony Towns all sit above $10,000 on DraftKings and we'll offer up two of those guys to build around. With that in mind, let's break it down!Head on over a for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, our NFL Optimizer and NHL Projections as well.

Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Ben Simmons FD - $8500 DK - $8700Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 48.45 DK - 49.16 With Joel Embiid out for the next few weeks, Philly players are going to be prominent in these articles. We're talking about a guy who's averaging 23 points and 12 rebounds per game while leading the team with a 31 percent usage rate. That's a ton of usage to make-up and it has turned Simmons into one of the best fantasy producers in the NBA. Not only has he scored at least 35 DK points in 15-straight games, Simmons is also averaging 17.6 points, 8.7 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 2.2 steals per game in that stretch. That's all you can hope for, especially against a 19th-ranked Nets defense. Tomas Satoransky FD - $4600 DK - $6000Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 27.88 DK - 27.82 Satoransky's price on DraftKings is a bit surprising with his recent struggles but it's more indicative of where he should be priced at in a matchup like this. Playing against the Wizards is a treat for anyone, with Washington ranked dead-last in both points allowed and defensive efficiency. Not to mention, they own a 30th OPRK against opposing PGs according to DraftKings. We have to love that for a stat-stuffing player like Sato, with the versatile point guard averaging 27.8 DraftKings points per game across his last 14 fixtures, despite playing poor recently. Not to mention, this is a revenge game for the former Washington guard. Malcolm Brogdon remains too cheap since his return from injury and should exploit a 25th-ranked Minnesota defense. Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $11700 DK - $12400Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 68.01 DK - 71.52 Harden is in the midst of a...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Saturday, 1/11/20
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 1/11/20 With Minnesota and Houston playing an early game, we have six games making up the main slate. The thing that makes today interesting is all of the injuries. Players like Joel Embiid, Blake Griffin, Anthony Davis and Kristaps Porzingis are all sitting out, forcing us to pay up in the front court. With that in mind, let's get started with some back court players and work our way to those high-end big men.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Kemba Walker FD - $7000 DK - $7600Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 38.47 DK - 39.97 One flukey thing that these DFS sites algorithms do is lower a player's price after a dud. What it doesn't take into consideration is how that dud happened. An ejection in the second quarter is what's made Walker such a good value here and it's hard to understand why he's so cheap. If you take out that one outlier, Walker is averaging 38 FanDuel points per game across his last 16 outings. That's the production of an $8,500 player on FD. The brilliant matchup is simply a bonus, with the Pelicans surrendering the second-most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season. Tomas Satoransky FD - $5000 DK - $5500Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 29.34 DK - 29.2 Sato is also coming off a dud in his most recent game and that's lowered his prices to these extremely enticing numbers. Foul trouble is what led to his ugly outing but he was brilliant before that. In fact, Satoransky averaged 31.7 DraftKings points over his previous nine games played. What we really like is that he played 34 minutes a game in that span, establishing himself as the primary point guard for this volatile rotation. We're certainly not worried about Detroit either, with the Pistons sitting 22nd in defensive efficiency. Also considered: Derrick Rose. Shooting Guard Josh Richardson FD - $6100 DK - $6400Opponent - DALProj Pts FD - 29.42 DK - 29.63 This is the first of many Sixers in this article and it's easy to understand why. With Joel Embiid out for the next few weeks, all of these guys remain great values. We're talking about a big...
