Point guard Tyler Ulis FD - $4200 DK - $4700Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 26.92 DK - 26.96 Isaiah Taylor FD - $4800 DK - $4800Opponent - PHIProj Pts FD - 26.26 DK - 26.24 We kick off point guard with two excellent punt plays that will likely chew up a lot of ownership tonight assuming nothing changes. As of this writing neither of the starters (Schroder and Payton) are confirmed out, but both are considered doubtful. We'll write this up assuming both are going to get the starting spot again. The Suns are in sort of a weird space right now, where they're simultaneously getting blown out constantly but not resting their starters. Ulis has been excellent in both of his last 2 games on these prices, and while I don't know that you can count on 37 minutes it shouldn't matter, even in a game where they are 17.5 point underdogs. As for Taylor, his situation is a little bit different. They're likewise dogs against the Sixers, but not nearly as much so. Taylor has also been filling in very nicely for Schroder, and you can't necessarily extrapolate his season long stats on a per minute basis given his new role in the starting lineup. I don't love paying more for him of course, but expect him to be a chalk cash game play regardless. Russell Westbrook FD - $11400 DK - $11300Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 57.4 DK - 60.28 Westbrook was a 45% start in FanDuel cash games against the Spurs, so I expect he'll be a good deal higher owned in an excellent match-up with the Nuggets. While the Thunder aren't playing for as much as the Nuggets, you'd never know from the minutes their starters are playing these days. Denver should test them enough to make sure Westbrook gets his minutes, so it's really a question of whether he's still a good value on these prices. He's been on a stretch of pretty bad match-ups recently, and has still paid 5x-6.5x points per dollar in 3 of his last 5. Jamal Murray will likely draw the Russ assignment here, and he's allowed the 5th most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season. Seems like one of the premier big money...

I know it's MLB Opening Day, but there's still a solid NBA slate worth touching on. We have 5 games on the board and each deserves to be looked at. We're going to start in Golden State, where the Warriors will host the Bucks tonight. Durant and Draymond will return tonight, but Curry and Thompson will remain out. That will allow Quinn Cook to pick up his usual 34-38 minutes. He's been extremely consistent since Curry went out and has been over 30 fantasy points in four of the last six games. He was over 40 in two of those. His minutes are as safe as ever with Curry still out and this match-up against the Bucks isn't anything to run away from. Against the point guard position, they rank 20th on the year. His price is still affordable on both sites and the NBA optimizer has him projected at 33 fantasy points. His usage will obviously take a hit with a couple of the big boys back, but he's a strong play in all formats and will be a mainstay in all of my cash games. Cameron Payne FD - $5000 DK - $5500Opponent - MIAProj Pts FD - 28.96 DK - 28.73 We’ll stay in the mid-range with another newcomer to the 2018 scene, Cameron Payne. He hasn’t been very explosive, but the consistency is impressive and the opportunity isn’t going anywhere. He did struggle against the Rockets, but Chris Paul is a tough match-up that I can’t hold against a youngster. Payne should bounce right back tonight against the Heat and grab his usual 26-30 minutes. The Heat are dead average against the position and may be in a tough spot down low with Adebayo out and Whiteside questionable. Payne isn’t going to win you a tournament, but he may afford you someone elsewhere that will. I prefer Cook, but just slightly. Don’t let last game scare you away from Payne. Eric Bledsoe FD - $7500 DK - $7000Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 37.33 DK - 37.15 On most 5 game slates, Russell Westbrook is being highlighted at point guard. Tonight, we...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Damian Lillard is out with the birth of his child The kid is coming out just eight days after expected, so the wait is over. We no longer have to deal with a GTD tag that lasts throughout the game. We also get Shabazz night! You can call it free square Wednesday if you want to. With Lillard out, Shabazz Napier is going to slide in and play 34+ minutes. It was just a couple months ago when Napier was putting up 35+ fantasy points a night with Lillard out for extended time. At minimum price, play him in 100% of lineups. Maurice Harkless will also remain out, so Evan Turner will see an increase in minutes at the three and will have the opportunity to ball-handle a bit. C.J. McCollum is an easy play at the two in cash games, but Napier is good enough to be trusted down the stretch with the ball. Aminu has also been playing great and could grab a few extra shots from the corner. This Lillard news is huge and everyone benefits, but Napier is the clear play. Kevin Love did not clear concussion protocol and will miss tonight's game against the Hornets Larry Nance is going to get back towards 25 minutes and you have to love him in a solid match-up with a weak Hornets interior. Jeff Green and Tristan Thompson could also pick up some minutes and I’m a fan of both in cash games for a punt. You'd like Nance to get the start, but he could still return value off the...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/28/18 Welcome to NBA Wednesday! The League has blessed us with an 8-game slate on this lovely Wednesday and it’s a very nice one. There really isn’t one game that stands out, so we’ll be jumping all around the place at each position. Let's do some work!

Point guard Shabazz Napier FD - $3500 DK - $3800Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 17.21 DK - 17.27 We’ll start, however, with the easiest play on the slate. Damian Lillard has left Memphis for the birth of his child. That will leave a minimum-priced Shabazz Napier to start. There’s is something wrong if he’s not over 80% owned. Call me crazy, but this is a guy that was putting up 30+ fantasy points on a constant basis for more than a small stretch of time. I fully trust him to dominate while on the floor and 35 minutes shouldn’t be much of an issue. The Grizzlies still play slow, but they’re injury-riddled and have ranked 21st against opposing point guards since the All-Star Break. Napier is going to demolish value and he’s arguably the easiest play we’ve had on the year. Austin Rivers FD - $5800 DK - $6000Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 31.51 DK - 32.14 Austin Rivers is already getting 34-38 minutes a game, and now Teodosic has been ruled out. He faces off with a Suns team that ranks 27th against point guards and gives up the 6th most three pointers. Rivers has been producing as of late and is safe against this putrid defense. The upside is huge and the price is very friendly. Rivers is an elite play in all formats. I don’t mind Sindarius Thornwell, either, but there is plenty of value at the position and he’s not nearly productive enough. A Rivers-Napier pairing is something you’re going on a lot of my teams tonight. Let’s look at some more solid value. Isaiah Taylor FD - $3600 DK - $3800Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 21.01 DK - 21.09 If you’re wanting even more value at point guard past Shabazz Napier, Isaiah Taylor is a phenomenal pivot at a similar price. With Schroder out in 2 of the last 3 games, Taylor picked up 31 and 26 minutes. He put up 32 fantasy points in...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know James Harden and Clint Capela will rest tonight, while Chris Paul will return Obviously the biggest news of the night. The expected return of Chris Paul is going to lessen the blow, but there’s still a ton of opportunity. It’s hard to say how many minutes Paul will get, but those minutes will be packed with FP. He’s worth a look in every format if you think he grabs 30 minutes. Eric Gordon will get the start at the two and is one of the best plays on the entire slate. Expect him to shoot a ton and play 34+ minutes. If you need value. Gerald Green, Joe Johnson, and Tarik Black are all candidates for extra run. Gerald Green stands out as one of the best value plays available. J.J. Barea will miss the next two games for personal reasons I know it’s a big surprise, but J.J Barea is out again. This time he’ll miss the next two contests with a personal reason. It’ll give Dennis Smith solidifies minutes in the rotation and bump Yogi Ferrell up to the 30’s. They are both in play, but Ferrell is a guy I have a ton of interest in at the mid-$5k tag. What We're Waiting to Know Damian Lillard is a permanent GTD until the birth of his child This one is obviously weird and things can change with a push. Eh. I’ll stay away because of the uncertainty, but Lillard has insane upside in a match-up with a tired Pelicans team. If he plays, expect 45+ fantasy points with the ceiling for 80. If he is ever ruled out beforehand, Shabazz Napier would be the best play on the slate and it wouldn’t be close. If Lillard is out, make sure you have 110% Napier. McCollum will also pick up a few shots, but he can shoot 25 if hot, even with Lillard in the lineup. Rajon Rondo and Nikola Mirotic are questionable to play against the Trail Blazers Both of these guys missed last game, so we know what to do. If Rondo is out, DeAndre Liggins will grab 25 minutes. Ian Clark will too, but he will either way. Rondo out just means he gets those 25...
