We have 9 games on the board tonight, with every game being worthy of consideration. There isn't a spread over 7 as of now and no game under a 200 total. We open it up at point guard with Ish Smith, who's been an elite mid-range option since Reggie Jackson went down with injury. He's put up 25+ fantasy points every single game and has flashed 40+ upside plenty. His minutes have been pretty inconsistent, but he's always over at least 28. In close games, he gets up to 35+ with ease. His price is still extremely fair around the industry and you're only looking for 25ish in cash games. Against a Clippers team that is likely without their PG's, I don't know who will cover Smith. On paper, the Clippers rank 9th against PG's, but let's remember this Clippers team was very different for most of the season and both starting PG's are currently questionable. No matter who Smith ends up seeing, he's going to see 25+ fantasy points and has more than enough upside in tournaments. I actually think PG is a lot weaker than normal, so I don't have much of a problem staying away from the high-end of the position. De'Aaron Fox FD - $5400 DK - $6000 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 26.05 DK - 26.51 De'Aaron Fox exited last game against the Bulls with a sore ankle, but all X-Rays came back negative. He was cleared to practice non-contact yesterday and is currently considered probable. Obviously, if things come out differently after shootaround, you can ignore Fox. If he somehow misses this game, it'll have to be Hield who does most of the ball-handling. If Fox gets the start, he's going to produce in this match-up. Not only are the Blazers bad against PG's, but Fox is far too cheap for the production he puts out there per minute. On the season, the Blazers are great against PG's, but they rank 22nd over the last month. We know Damian Lillard is a poor defender and he doesn't have any...

There are talks around Porzingis not being ready until 2020. Who knows if he will ever be the same. As for tonight, he'll be joined by Enes Kanter. This leaves the Knicks extremely thin underneath the rim. Michael Beasley will be a long-term option with Kristaps out and he's one of the best plays on the entire slate. With Kanter out, O'Quinn will get plenty of minutes. The Knicks have dumped Hernangomez and Noah, so they don't really have an option. Beasley and O'Quinn are elite options in all formats. Usage-wise, Tim Hardaway Jr. will benefit greatly. What We're Waiting to Know Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony are questionable to play against the Lakers I tried to wait this news out, but it looks like they may take us right up to lineup lock. Obviously huge news. In general, Paul George is going to see a huge usage bump if either is out. An insane one if Westbrook is out. If just Westbrook is out, Raymond Felton is the guy to benefit. If just Melo is out, Patrick Patterson and Jerami Grant are both viable options in all formats. If both guys are out, George, Felton, and Grant are my 3 favorites. Steven Adams is also in play as a steady 30-40 fantasy points. Jaylen Brown is questionable to play against the Wizards The Celtics just keep coming down with a new injury every week, but it may not be such a bad thing. It gives them the ability to play Terry Rozier, who deserves 30+ minutes. I actually like Rozier a lot as a tournament option as I don't think he sees nearly the ownership he saw last week without Irving. He could very well grab 30+ minutes and go for 40+ fantasy points.

We had a pretty small Wednesday slate yesterday, but the NBA has traded us for a very nice Thursday. We have another 6 games on the board tonight and plenty to dive into. We start out in Golden State with Stephen Curry. As of now, Kevin Durant is questionable. Curry is obviously viable no matter what happens, but he’s a much better play if Durant is out. He sees his usage go up close to 5% and will see at least 4 or 5 extra shots. In addition to the ball being in his hands every possession, instead of splitting down the stretch with KD. You also have Draymond Green questionable, though he doesn’t really take away any shots. His absence would just help keep the game more competitive, which inevitably helps Curry. The match-up is certainly nice with the Mavs ranking 21st against PG’s. Dennis Smith Jr. is a rookie, but you also have no help underneath the rim. Curry will be able to get open from anywhere on the floor and should be a safe bet for 50+ if KD is out. If KD plays, I doubt I’ll have nearly as much exposure to Curry as I plan. I’d rather pay down and look up to a star elsewhere. Raymond Felton FD - $3500 DK - $3400 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 12.46 DK - 12.55 We have a questionable Russell Westbrook, so Raymond Felton has to be touched on. He’s seeing 15 minutes a night with Westbrook in, so you’d have to assume he gets to at least 30 if he sits. He’s minimum priced across the board and someone who always produces when given the opportunity. He knows how to run the offense and will make sure George and Carmelo will have plenty of looks. It’s obviously a bit of an unknown as to how Felton would play with the main unit, but he’s averaged 1.06 FP per minute, so there’s that. The Lakers rank 20th against PG’s and aren’t on the way up. Felton will grab the worst defender on...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/7/18 Welcome to NBA Wednesday! While we typically have 10-15 games on most Wednesdays, we're sitting with just six tonight. It's not a bad slate by any means, but we're just used to a lot more. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA optimizer, our NFL Optimizer, and our new player lab!

Point guard Cory Joseph FD - $4900 DK - $4600 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 26.12 DK - 26.16 Joseph Young FD - $3700 DK - $3000 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 11.4 DK - 11.37 We dive in at PG with some very interesting value options. As we sit, Darren Collison has been ruled out and Victor Oladipo is questionable. Joseph saw 35 minutes with Collison out last game and is once again a top play on the slate in every format. Lock him in for 30+ minutes and 25+ fantasy points. If you've been playing NBA DFS for some time, you know just how productive of a backup Cory Joseph is. We then get to Joe Young, who's a lot more reliant on Oladipo missing. He saw 27 minutes last game and would have to be considered in this match-up. We know the Pelicans are a porous defense, but ranking dead last against PG's and 27th against SG's is just crazy. Especially when you have a guy like AD under the rim. Both of these guys are far too cheap and Joseph is a cash game lock. If Oladipo is out, I'll have a ton of exposure to both. Ish Smith FD - $6300 DK - $5600 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 33.35 DK - 33.13 Ish Smith is still hovering around that $6k mark and will be in play every game until Reggie Jackson returns. Smith is always an exceptional DFS player and this stint has been no different. He’s only been under 20 once and is typically between 30-40. He now gets his best match-up yet, the Brooklyn Nets. Aside from the Pelicans, the Nets are the worst team in the game against PG’s. Dinwiddie is not only a terrible defender, but he has no help behind him. And no, Jarrett Allen hasn’t been any better under the rim than anyone else has been. On defense at least. Assuming Smith gets his 30+ minutes (three of last...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Devin Booker has been ruled out against the Lakers The Suns ruled out Booker yesterday and announced Tyler Ulis as the starter. He's going to see 30+ minutes and we'll get to him in a bit. T.J. Warren and Josh Jackson will also pick up 5-10 minutes each and both deserve a ton of attention in all formats. Troy Daniels could also see close to 30 minutes and he's close to minimum price. I don't hate him, but he's clearly a secondary option. John Henson has been ruled out against the Knicks This one is a pretty big surprise. Henson is picking up 30 in most games, so there is a lot of opportunity here. With that being said, I don't think it's very clear. With Jabari Parker back and on a minutes limit, you can't let him loose. You also have Tyler Zeller who they just traded for and Marshall Plumlee behind him, so it's pretty messy. I'll be staying away from this situation, but Parker is the one guy I'd take a chance on. What We're Waiting to Know Wayne Selden is questionable to play for the Grizzlies Selden has been picking up 30+ a night, so there may be some minutes up for grabs. With Mario Chalmers back as of last game, he and Ben McLemore are the biggest candidates to pick up minutes. I'm tempted to take a chance on Chalmers, but neither of them are safe. Harrison is where I'll stay at in cash games in a solid match-up with Atlanta and their 27th ranked PG defense. Jonathon Simmons is questionable to play against the Cavs With Aaron Gordon already ruled out, Mario Hezonja can be locked into his 30+ minutes. If Simmons is also out, Wes Iwundu and Arron Afflalo will pick up minutes. Personally, I'll stay away. With that being said, I'll take the guy who gets the start if I have to pick. The match-up against the Cavs is fine as they rank dead last against SF's and neither of them will see Lebron James defense.
