Point Guard Terry Rozier FD - $6100 DK - $6300 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 37.57 DK - 38.4 LaMelo Ball FD - $7800 DK - $8300 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 42.51 DK - 42.96 We live in a world where you can safely play multiple Charlotte point guards in daily fantasy sports contests. You may not want to hear it, but it's true. Ball and Rozier are starting alongside one another, and complimenting each other's game well, playing 36+ minutes a game in close contests. Houston, meanwhile, has been awful against opposing back-courts this season, allowing the 10th most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards and the 3rd most to opposing shooting guards. Feel free to run these guys together with a clear conscience. Chris Paul FD - $7500 DK - $7600 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 40.23 DK - 41 Booker's return was supposed to slow Paul down, but nobody bothered to tell him - CP3 has topped 42 FanDuel points in two of the three games since. In the other game the Suns' starters got chased from the floor by New Orleans, who shot 51/42/81 for the game. This really isn't a dream spot for Paul, as the Cavs have allowed the 25th most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards this season, but the price is low enough thanks to Paul's recent lack of minutes that he should be a favorite to pay these prices and then some if this one stays close. Keep an eye on Jamal Murray's status. If he sits, you could see Monte Morris as a chalk cash game play. Shooting Guard Bradley Beal FD - $10800 DK - $9000 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 56.73 DK - 58.4 Westbrook hasn't been playing back-to-backs, and in the last two games without him, Beal has put up 23 and 37 (!) shot attempts. The Bulls currently sit at third in the league in pace with a bottom 10 defensive efficiency, and staring down Zach LaVine on the other side isn't going to cause Beal to miss any sleep going into this one....

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 Lonzo Ball FD - $5700 DK - $5500 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 36.54 DK - 37.57 Ball and the Pelicans' starters have been plagued by a rash of blowouts recently, but Vegas sees them as 3.5 point favorites against the Kings this week. We saw the Pels' plans for Ball in the Milwaukee game, when he played 35 minutes en route to a 27/3/8 line. 6x points per dollar seems like the floor for Ball in close games (he nearly hit that in just 27 minutes against the Rockets), and he just looks like a stand out value in all formats. Ja Morant FD - $7800 DK - $7600 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 42.59 DK - 43.83 Morant was a victim of his own success against the Spurs on Saturday, carving up these same Spurs for 19 points and 11 assists on 8 of 14 shooting before the Grizz ran San Antonio off the court. These two teams should be evenly matched enough that we can avoid a blowout here, and if we do, I suspect we'll see that Morant is 10% too cheap as he slides back into his pre-injury rotation. If Terry Rozier misses this game LaMelo Ball will wind up being the highest owned point guard on the slate. Shooting Guard Cam Reddish FD - $4600 DK - $4800 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 26.58 DK - 26.77 DeAndre Hunter will be out for the following week, leaving space for Reddish to hop into the starting lineup and do a little damage. Reddish looks poised to hop into a 35 minute rotation, and while there are a lot of mouths to feed in Cleveland right now I still think he's just straight up under-priced against the Lakers here. This is a price and opportunity mismatch, and I'll be a buyer until his price climbs to the mid-$5000s or his role winds up being less than I thought. Collin Sexton FD - $6800 DK - $7000 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 37.61 DK - 38.54 Sexton's prices are approaching fair value at this point, but he's still...

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 Damian Lillard FD - $9700 DK - $10300 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 49.08 DK - 51.79 Lillard was a chalk option on Saturday night, and his price hasn't totally accounted for McCollum's shots falling out of the lineup. You're talking about putting 20 shots back into the ecosystem, and given the Trail Blazers' relative lack of scorers, Lillard rates to be the prime beneficiary. We all saw what Lillard did without McCollum last season, and we expect him to pick up that mantle against the Thunder tonight. Jalen Brunson FD - $4300 DK - $4700 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 28.82 DK - 30.02 With Richardson, Kleber, and Finney-Smith out due to health and safety protocols, Brunson has been in line for 30+ minute rotations. He had topped 27 FanDuel points in back to back games before the Mavs were blown out by the Rockets, and the 18 he scored against Houston is something like his floor. He's obviously not a play if he drops out of the starting lineup, but we're happy to keep riding the wave in the meantime. Also considered: Eric Bledsoe. Shooting Guard Fred Vanvleet FD - $7900 DK - $7900 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 42.52 DK - 44.1 Norman Powell FD - $5600 DK - $5200 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 28.34 DK - 29.28 Powell and VanVleet were both chalk options on a small slate yesterday thanks to Kyle Lowry missing his second straight game with a foot issue. Powell was phenomenal, playing 36 minutes and topping 30 fantasy points for the second straight game. VanVleet was solid as well, topping 40 fantasy points thanks to his increased time of possession. It's the second game of a two-game series with the Pacers, so counting on these two for similar production here seems perfectly reasonable. Both guys get a little worse if Siakam returns, though there is no note on his status as of this writing. Tim Hardaway Jr. FD - $5200 DK - $5600 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 30.39 DK - 32.18 Shooting guard gets pretty tough if the Toronto...
Daily Fantasy Football Breakdown for the Conference Championships on DraftKings and FanDuel
Daily Fantasy Football Breakdown for the Conference Championships on DraftKings and FanDuel We've got a storybook set of Conference Championship games with lots of great DFS plays. Let's get into it! Want access to the projections that power these picks? For a limited time we're offering a free one week trial to all the sports that we cover - that's optimal lineups for NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB - for the same low price. Get started now! START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+3.5) vs. Green Bay Packers (-3.5) We start the Conference Championship round with the Bucs and Packers. Tom Brady vs. Aaron Rodgers! Battle of the Bays! These two teams met in week 6, when the Bucs absolutely boat-raced the Pack to the tune of a 38-10 stomping that saw Tompa and company score 28 points in the second quarter. It was by far Rodgers' worst game of the season, with the future Hall of Famer registering just 160 passing yards while throwing two picks. Needless to say, a lot has changed since those two teams clashed in week 6, so let's take a look at what we're forecasting for this one. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Leonard Fournette FD 7200 DK 5300 Opponent GB Proj Points FD - 15.45 DK - 17.59 Last week was insanely tough because there were a number of running games where we were dealing with uncertainty. We were able to read the tea leaves in Tampa, though, forecasting Fournette for the majority of opportunity and production. Lenny delivered, gobbling up 107 total yards and a touchdown on 23 touches. He out-targeted Jones 6-1 in the passing game, which is particularly important since the Bucs will likely be playing from behind here. The Bucs were very effective running the ball in week 6, averaging more than five yards per carry. On a two-game slate filled with time shares, Fournette is currently in 100% of our cash game lineups. Chris Godwin FD 6800 DK 5400 Opponent GB Proj Points FD - 14.21 DK - 17.39 Brady is by far the worst quarterback remaining, and nothing from last week is going to get us excited about grabbing pieces from his passing game. That being said, I still think there is reason to be bullish on Godwin at these prices. First of all - he's downright cheap. We've paid $8k for Godwin in the past, and it's easy to argue that he would have seen more target share last week if the game script had been more like this one projects to be. For as bad as Godwin's production was last week, he still had the most targets on the team, and was the most...

Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $11200 DK - $11000Opponent - TORProj Pts FD - 58.39 DK - 61.4 Luka has been utterly dominant recently, cresting over 77 FanDuel points in three of his last five games. He's a rebound in one game and an assist in another game from getting a triple double in his last five games. Toronto, meanwhile, has lapsed from one of the toughest defensive match-up to a totally reasonable one. The Raptors are playing a top 8 pace with a defensive efficiency that ranks in the bottom half of the league. Luka is a premier pay-up option on a night where finding value is going to be tough. Jrue Holiday FD - $7600 DK - $7200Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 37.7 DK - 36.85 It's the game with by far the highest total on the slate, and with Kyrie potentially returning for this one you could see one of the worst defensive back-courts in recent memory between Irving and Harden. Holiday has been contributing across the board recently, and racking up defensive stats in just the way the Bucks hoped he would, with at least a block and two steals in each of his last five games. In what should be a tight game, he should be on lock for his entire run of minutes as well. Also considered: Trey Burke, if Hardaway winds up sitting again. Shooting Guard Zach LaVine FD - $9300 DK - $9500Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 45.48 DK - 46.62 Some of the shine comes off this play now that Oladipo has been ruled in, but LaVine is still by far the most attractive shooting guard play on the board. He's a classic DFS play that you can't judge by his year to date stats since he'll play a lot more minutes in close games than in blowouts. While there's no line on this game at the moment, it should be a competitive one between LaVine's Bulls and what's left of the Rockets. LaVine has quietly improved across the board this season, improving his shooting percentage, rebounds, and assists while playing roughly the same number of minutes. While he's...
