We've got you completely covered. What We Know Kent Bazemore and Jaylen Morris are out against the Thunder and Bazemore will miss 6-8 weeks Bazemore doesn't do much for us in terms of DFS, but he takes a healthy load of minutes. Morris is irrelevant, but he's played a few minutes in each of the last few games. With both out, a lot of guys will see a slight uptick in minutes. Isaiah Taylor, Tyler Dorsey, Taurean Prince, Andrew White, and DeAndre Bembry are all candidates to see extended minutes and are all in play against the Thunder. For me, Dorsey and Prince are some of my favorite plays on the slate for the price. Let's get to some of the unknowns. What We're Waiting to Know Steven Adams is questionable to play against the Hawks Adams ended up leaving the game last night after entering questionable, so I don't see how he gets up and plays on the second leg of a B2B. If he does play, I don't have much interest in the situation. If he's out, Patrick Patterson would likely grab the start and play close to 30 minutes. Collison and Grant will also grab some minutes, though I don't love either. Grant is a fine tournament option. I'll stick with Patterson in cash games if I'm looking for value at PF. Dario Saric is questionable with the stomach flu Saric plays 25-30 minutes a night and does produce a ton. With that being said, I don't think it's fair to say his absence matters all that much. Robert Covington, Richaun Holmes, Ersan Ilyasova, and Amir Johnson will all see a couple minutes and you can play them in tournaments. I just don't love any of them against the Pacers. Simmons is locked into 30+ minutes and is always a candidate for 45+ fantasy points. Rodney Hood has been upgraded to questionable against the Suns I'd prefer Hood miss this game. It would open up guys like J.R. Smith, Jordan Clarkson, and Kyle Korver for a few minutes each. Smith and Clarkson would be my 2 favorites against the fast-paced Suns squad. If Hood plays, it kind of muddies the whole position. I think you can still play any of them in tournaments, but it's almost...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know LaMarcus Aldridge and Manu Ginobili will be rested against the Rockets Aldridge is the most important piece on this team with Kawhi on and off of the injury report and they can't afford to go into the playoffs with him at all fatigued. Manu is just old and you don't want to wear him out if you don't need to. With Aldridge out, Pau Gasol and Davis Bertans will both pick up minutes. We will get to Gasol in a bit. Manu only grabs 15 or 20 minutes a night, but those should go to Bryn Forbes and Danny Green. Neither jump off the page, but are serviceable against a fast-paced Houston team. Hassan Whiteside and Dwyane Wade are out against the Blazers These are 2 of the most injury-prone guys of the last few seasons and they'll join each other on the bench tonight. Whiteside plays decent minutes, but the problem is how many backups he has. Depending on how Miami runs their offense, it could be Bam Adebayo, Kelly Olynyk, or James Johnson that pick up substantial minutes. I don't love any of them, but Adebayo and Johnson make the most sense in this match-up with Portland. With Wade out, Ellington and Johnson will split minutes and I like both as cheap pivots at guard. What We're Waiting to Know Steven Adams is questionable to play with an ankle injury Adams is an obvious integral part of this offense and there is a lot to look at if he's out. Let's say he plays. I like WCS less. I like Pat-Pat and Grant less. I like Westbrook more. If he misses, I'll go with a lot of Patrick Patterson and WCS. Adams is a great defender, so WCS would be able to dominate if he's not in there. As for Patterson, he will see 25-30+ minutes and has a ton of upside against a center who doesn't love the perimeter. Jarell Martin is questionable to play against the Bucks Martin played 30 minutes in each of the last 2 games, so this is certainly something worth paying attention to. If Martin plays, I'm not a huge fan of JaMychal Green. If he misses, I am. Green can pick up...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/12/18 With just 4 games on this Monday, we have a lot to look at. Do we go James Harden or Russell Westbrook? Where exactly do we look for value with LaMarcus Aldridge and half of Memphis out? Let's take a look at the top plays at each position!

Point guard Chris Paul FD - $8300 DK - $7700 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 39.72 DK - 40.17 Welcome to NBA Monday! We have a solid 4-game slate on our hands with each contest deserving attention. We’ll kick things off in Houston, where the Spurs will face the Rockets in what is the best real-life game of the slate. We know both teams will take the game seriously (the Spurs are very much at risk of missing the playoffs) and Paul only saw 30 minutes on Sunday evening. He’ll be out there for another 30+ minutes and deserves attention in all formats. His price is down on both sites and you’re seeing a huge discount from both Russ and Lillard. If Paul hits his stride, he’s a 45 FP producer every night. He’s always extremely consistent and being on the Rockets hasn’t changed that a bit. He’s not afraid to shoot with Harden on the floor and looks very comfortable controlling the ball. The match-up on paper is average, but you have to think Paul sees 34+ minutes if it’s a nail-biter throughout. I don’t necessarily love him against the Spurs, but he’ll be on the floor and the price is just too low for a healthy Chris Paul. Paul is an elite option in all formats and you can pay up for him everywhere. Eric Bledsoe FD - $7500 DK - $6800 Opponent - MEM Proj Pts FD - 37.32 DK - 37.21 When you have four games and three of them involve the Spurs, Heat, or Grizzlies, you're not working with the best of options. With that being said, there are a few solid plays at each position. Eric Bledsoe is just a bit cheaper than Chris Paul and will come in very low-owned against the Grizzlies. He's playing the best basketball of his season and did put up a stretch of 40+ fantasy performances. With Tyreke Evans, Andrew Harrison, and Mario Chalmers all out, I...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Stephen Curry is out against the Trail Blazers Lots of news today. We start out with Golden State and Stephen Curry, who rolled his ankle in just 2 minutes last night. He'll be held out for at least the next 2 games and we'll see a few guys pick up opportunity. At point guard, Quinn Cook and Shaun Livingston will split minutes. I'll pass outside of a large-field tourney. Instead, I'll look towards Kevin Durant as one of my top plays of the night. Thompson and Green will also pick up some usage and shots and you have to think both hit value if this game stays close. Off the bench, we could see Nick Young throw up some more shots. He's a tournament flier only. All in all, KD is one of my favorite plays on the entire night and Thompson = Green are viable cash game plays until Curry returns. Anthony Davis is doubtful to play against the Pelicans I guess we don't technically "know" here, but every single thing is pointing towards Anthony Davis missing this game. Assuming he does, Nikola Mirotic should grab the start and play 30+ minutes. He's a top 3 play at the PF position and I'll have a ton of exposure in all formats. Cheick Diallo will also see some minutes and I guess you can play him if you need to punt. Personally, not neccesary. Usage-wise, Jrue Holiday is going to go off. Expect 25+ shots and at least 40 fantasy points. Rondo and Moore will also see a few extra shots, but they don't stand out. Holiday and Mirotic are the 2 guys you want to play in cash. Aaron Gordon and Evan Fournier have been ruled out against the Kings D.J. Augustin has been upgraded to probable, so at least someone will be available to play. For Fournier, look for Simmons and Hezonja to grab a bunch of minutes and shots. They are both very good plays in both formats. Arron Afflalo will also pick up some minutes, but I'll pass. As for Gordon, look for Hezonja and Issac to benefit. We'll also see Vucevic play big minutes and shoot a ton with the other shot-takers out of the lineup....

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/9/18 Welcome to NBA Friday! We have 10 games to look through with plenty of different options. We do have 3 different 227+ totals and not a single spread on the slate is greater than 10. To make it simple, this is a fun slate with a lot of different routes to a completed lineup.

Point guard Damian Lillard FD - $9700 DK - $9400Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 45.43 DK - 47.19 We’ll kick things off in Portland, where the Blazers will host a Warriors team coming off a nail-biter vs the Spurs. Steph Curry rolled his ankle early in the game and didn’t return. He’s questionable for tonight and I wouldn’t be surprised if he misses. With that being said, it’s still hard to pinpoint the minutes between Cook and Livingston. For that reason, I’ll revisit the Warriors in a bit and take a look at Damian Lillard. Likely facing the likes of Livingston and Quinn Cook, Lillard should have 0 problem putting up fantasy points. He’s playing some of his best basketball of the season and can be counted on for 34 minutes and 45 fantasy points as a baseline in cash games. The upside is ridiculous in tournaments and we prefer him at home in big games. Damian Lillard is now going to cost you close to $10k, but he’s paying it off on most nights and sees a match-up tonight with a Warriors squad that’s going to force him to run and gun. If the Blazers expect to keep it close, Lillard is a lock and load in all formats. Lonzo Ball FD - $7500 DK - $7600Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 38.74 DK - 38.74 Love or hate him, Lonzo Ball has been extremely productive as of late. He's been over 35 fantasy points in 3 of the last 4 and eclipsed 40 in two of those. He's been over 33 minutes in every game and is controlling the offense like a vet. The match-ups haven't been that great, either, topping 40 against the Spurs and Heat. He now sees an affair with the Denver Nuggets that holds a crazy 230 total and 6.5 point spread. The Nuggets rank 24th against the position since the Al-Star Break and there isn't much to...
