FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 12/14/19 After a big nine-game slate on Friday, we're back at it here with seven games. What is interesting about this slate is the fact that we have numerous teams in the second half of a back-to-back set. In fact, we have the Bulls, Clippers, Heat and Grizzlies all playing in the back end of a B2B. These are all teams that have a propensity to rest players in these circumstances, so that's going to be a major key in this article. With that in mind, let's breakdown this slate. 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 Eric Bledsoe FD - $7200 DK - $6700Opponent - CLEProj Pts FD - 34.57 DK - 35.33 With Giannis Antetokounmpo dealing with a quad injury and suiting up on Friday, we're going to bet that he sits out here. When Giannis is out, Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe become two of the best plays on the board. With last year's MVP off the floor, Bledsoe is leading the team with a 33.4 percent usage rate while averaging 1.43 DK points per minute. That rate would equate to 50 fantasy points in 35 minutes of action which would be absurd production from a player in the $7,000-range. The matchup against Cleveland isn't too shabby either, with Cleveland ranked 26th in defensive efficiency.  NOTE: Bledsoe left Friday's game with a shin contusion which would make George Hill and Pat Connaughton good options if he sits out! Ish Smith FD - $5800 DK - $5400Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 28.11 DK - 28.12 With Isaiah Thomas dealing with an ankle issue, Smith is one of the best values out there. The simple fact is, this dude has always been productive when starting. Not only has he played at least 31 minutes in the last four starts he's made, Smith has also scored at least 22 DK points in all of those. That 4X floor is hard to overlook and he's shown us in the past that he has 40/50-point potential whenever he receives 35 minutes of play. We especially love the speedster against a team like the Grizzlies, with Memphis ranked sixth in pace and 26th in points allowed.  If Goran Dragic is...

  FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 12/11/19 This is one of the largest slates in recent memory, with the NBA treating us with an 11-game schedule. That's all we can ask for in terms of DFS, as there are a ton of great picks out there. That's why we'll offer up the two-best plays on the board and mix in a bunch of value plays around them.

Point Guard Spencer Dinwiddie FD - $8000 DK - $8100Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 41.99 DK - 43.22 Dinwiddie has been an absolute monster since Kyrie Irving went down. It's not just Irving though, as Caris LeVert's absence has only added to Dinwiddie's value. That's really evident when you see that he has a 33 percent usage rate with those two off the floor while averaging 1.3 DK points per minute. That has led to him scoring at least 35 DK points in all 12 starts he's made for Irving while averaging 40 fantasy points per game. That's especially intriguing against a Hornets club who sits 27th in defensive efficiency.  Kyle Lowry FD - $8000 DK - $7100Opponent - LACProj Pts FD - 43.26 DK - 45.44 It's really hard to figure out why these DFS sites are keeping Lowry's price so affordable. The biggest reason we like him is his workload, ranking second in the NBA with over 37 minutes player per night. That absurd playing time has led to him averaging 39.7 DK points per game which is truly a ridiculous total from a player barely cracking $7,000. While Los Angeles is certainly a tough matchup, this should remain a competitive game between two tough teams, guaranteeing Lowry for another 35-40 minutes.  D'Angelo Russell is dominating the usage in Golden State, making him a great option against the Knicks.  Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $12200 DK - $12900Opponent - CLEProj Pts FD - 65.69 DK - 68.5 Harden is always a good pick and it's going to be tough to fade him in a spot like this. We're talking about the league leader with 62.1 DK points per game averaging close to 70 fantasy points since a subpar start...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 12/7/19 Friday night was full of wild games and we're back at it here! Unfortunately, we only have five games ahead of us and we could be looking at another night full of blowouts. In fact, we don't have a single spread within six points and we have four of the five games posting a spread at 9.5 points or higher. That means raw points will be critical and that's why we'll offer up a good mixture of studs and value plays. In addition, we'll go ahead and avoid recommending anyone from the DAL-NOP matchup, which takes place before the main slate. With that in mind, let's get into our plays!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Ricky Rubio FD - $7600 DK - $6800Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 35.26 DK - 35.5 The point guard selections on this slate are very volatile, so let's go with a consistent guy like Rubio. The Spaniard is actually in the midst of one of his best seasons ever, averaging 12.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game. If you take out the three games where Rubio was dealing with injury, he's actually scored at least 30 DK points in all of the other 13 outings while averaging just shy of 40 fantasy points per game. That's huge against a Houston club who sits third in pace and 25th in points allowed.  De'Anthony Melton FD - $5500 DK - $5200Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 26.58 DK - 25.9 Many people will pivot to Tyus Jones in the absence of Ja Morant because Jones will be starting but Melton is the sharper play. Memphis finally became privy to that in the last loss, starting Melton in the second half. It's really no surprise when you see his production, with Melton averaging 33 DK points per game across 26 minutes of action over his last three fixtures. That's all you can ask for from a $5,000 player and he should continue to see a big role as long as Morant remains out.  If you're playing the early slate, it's impossible to avoid Luka Doncic against a bad Pelicans defense.  Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $12100...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 12/4/19 After a slow DFS night on Tuesday, we're back at it with a 10-game schedule here. What's fascinating is that we have all 10 games with a spread of seven points or fewer. That's awesome with so many blowouts recently and that should make things easier on us. With that in mind, let's get into it!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 De'Anthony Melton FD - $4400 DK - $4600Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 24.46 DK - 23.53 We have some studs later on, so let's begin with some value plays at point guard. While we didn't really expect to see Melton find himself into any of our articles this season, here we are. An injury to Ja Morant is what's really opened things up for him, as that has garnered Melton at least 23 minutes in back-to-back games. More importantly, that has led to him scoring at least 33 DK points in both of those outings, severely out-playing Tyus Jones. If he continues to play like that, look for him to get more minutes and possibly start ahead of Jones. We're also not concerned with a 19th-ranked Bulls defense either, as these two terrible teams should play a competitive game.  Emmanuel Mudiay FD - $3500 DK - $3200Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 21.91 DK - 22.87 With Mike Conley missing this game because of a hamstring issue, Mudiay should find himself as the starter. That's big news for a stat-stuffing player like this, as Mudiay was a solid fantasy option for the Knicks last season. He's actually always been a solid fantasy producer which is evident when you see that he's averaging 14.4 DK points in 15.3 minutes a game this season. That's a fantasy point-per minute player, which would equate to 25 DK points if he plays the 25 minutes that we anticipate. That would be huge for a player in the $3,500-range, making him a candidate to reach 7X value pretty easily.  Luka Doncic (FD 12500 DK 11600) is also in consideration with his absurd form but it's going to cost you a fortune.  Shooting Guard Donovan Mitchell FD - $8000 DK - $7100Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 41.67 DK...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 11/30/19 After monstrous slates on Wednesday and Friday, the NBA has given us a light night here. In fact, we have just four games in total, starting at 5ET. That gives us slim pickings but it should make for a fun slate with a ton of superstars available. With that in mind, let's get into our plays!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 Trae Young FD - $9800 DK - $8900Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 46.32 DK - 48.56 It's pretty surprising to see a player like this below $10,000 in such a premium matchup. Let's begin with that opponent, facing a Houston club who sits second in pace and 23rd in total defense. That's bad news against a usage stud like this, with Young leading the Hawks with 34.2 minutes played, 20.2 shots taken and a 33.3 percent usage rate. Those high usage numbers have led to Young averaging 48.1 DraftKings points per game, the third-highest number on this slate.  Russell Westbrook FD - $9000 DK - $9300Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 47.84 DK - 49.08 Westbrook has been hovering below $10,000 all season long and that's truly shocking after sitting above $12,000 for the majority of last season. While his usage isn't the same, the production isn't that far off. In fact, Westbrook is averaging 22.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game this season en route to 46 DK points. Getting stat-stuffing numbers like those should be much easier against a Hawks team who sits 27th in points allowed and 29th in defensive efficiency.  Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $11500 DK - $12000Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 63.21 DK - 66.3 Anytime Harden is on a three or four-game slate like this, you have to make him one of your top priorities. The simple fact is, you can't fade that guaranteed 50-60 fantasy points. After averaging nearly 65 DraftKings points per game last season, Harden has dropped all the way down to 62 DK points per game this year. That's simply absurd production and a lot of it has come recently. Over his last 12 games, Harden has a 50-point floor while scoring more than 70 DK...
