We've got you completely covered. Point guard Kemba Walker FD - $9000 DK - $8800 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 43.61 DK - 44.67 Welcome to NBA Monday! Super Bowl Sunday delivered us a big surprise with an Eagles W, but now we have to move on. We have 7 games to look at and none that really stand out. None really stand down either as useless affairs with low totals. Every game Vegas has dropped so far is sitting between a 210 and 214 total. They're also all within 6 points, so expect them to be close. We'll open up point guard with the most expensive option on the board, Kemba Walker. Walker and the Hornets have been absolutely phenomenal as of late and his chemistry with Dwight Howard is impeccable. He's seeing 35-40 minutes in most games and saw just 34 last night against the Suns. He should be plenty ready for a full run tonight against a weak Nuggets defense. On the season, the Nuggets rank 23rd against point guards. Jamal Murray is an average defender, but the problems come when you get past Murray. Jokic and Lyles are atrocious rim protectors and it's why they rank 26th in FG efficiency in the paint. His price is getting up there, but it makes sense when you look at the consistency and constant ceiling. Don't be afraid to start off at PG with some safety. Ricky Rubio FD - $7000 DK - $6500 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 31.48 DK - 31.61 There's a difference between chasing points and jumping on a guy that's in a different spot than we're used to. Ricky Rubio isn't playing like this for no reason. He's had the ball in his hands a ton over the last 5 games (24% usage) and has been a lowkey consistent option for the better part of a month now. He's shooting a lot more than he ever has and seems to be asserting himself as the controller of this offense. Donovan Mitchell is currently questionable and would obviously steal some usage, but he's been in for all but 1 game, so it's not a deal-breaker. If you've been playing NBA DFS this year, you're well aware of this match-up....

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Kyrie Irving has been ruled out against the Hawks with a quad injury Irving will join Shane Larkin, who will continue to miss as well tonight. That leaves Terry Rozier as the clear starter and a guaranteed 30+ minutes. He put up a triple-double without Irving last game and while that's obviously a bit much to expect, it speaks volumes to how he plays. He spreads it around like crazy and it gives him a phenomenal floor. Semi Ojeleye will grab 25 and is a decent punt play for tournaments. For me, Rozier is a stone cold lock in cash games. What We're Waiting to Know Giannis Antetokounmpo, Eric Bledsoe, and Malcolm brogdon are all questionable to play There's a lot to look at here. Giannis is obviously the biggest of the bunch and easily the most important. Let's just pretend like all 3 of these guys miss. It would make Khris Middleton close to a must play in all formats. We'd also see a ton of minutes out of Sterling Brown, who's minimum-priced around the industry and not a bad DFS player at all. Now if Antetokounmpo plays and Bledsoe misses, Antetokounmpo will have the ball in his hands a ton and has to be considered in at least tournaments. if everyone plays, I don't have much interest in the situation. My beat on the situations is they all sit, which would make 3 or 4 guys very serviceable in all formats. Khris Middleton leads the bunch. Myles Turner is questionable with a knee injury The injuries just keep on coming for Turner. Sheesh. It seems like every single week he's opening up with a different injury. At least we know what to do. Domantas Sabonis and Thad Young are both now locked into minutes and both should be well over 30. Sabonis is the guy with more upside, but Young was dominating when Turner was out last time. They are both still priced up and you don't really have to go with either in a slow-paced affair. Sabonis and Young are fine if Turner misses, but you can probably do better with a Frank Kaminsky. GRAB A FREE TRIAL OF OUR PROJECTION SYSTEM, AND CHECK OUT DFSR PRO! START...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $12300 DK - $11600Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 57.9 DK - 60.81 We kick things off with the guy who's led this article more than anyone else. Russell Westbrook is still the best DFS player in the league and he's been disgusting recently. Over the last 5 games, he's been over 60 in 4. He's sat between 36 and 40 minutes in each of them and has a concrete floor of 55 at this point. The match-up against New Orleans is literally ideal. On the season, they rank dead last against point guards at 46.5 FPPG. Rondo will start on Westbrook, but I think Jrue Holiday ends up on him down the stretch. He's a better defender, but the Pelicans rank 26th against SG's, so how good can he really be? Not great. They already stink underneath the rim and are only getting worse with Cousins out of the mix. The price is high on Westbrook, but there's a good shot he gets to 65 if the game stays close. Westbrook is my favorite way to pay up on this entire slate. Terry Rozier FD - $6500 DK - $6600Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 32.94 DK - 33.28 Kyrie is still questionable, so we wait. The obvious difference tonight is that Rozier has been priced up on both FD and DK to $6500. It's not expensive enough if he gets the start and 32-35 minutes, but he's also not a must play. You can still get guys like Spencer Dinwiddie or Goran Dragic for cheaper. With that being said, you also can't ignore Rozier just because of the price. We know he's worth well over $7k when starting and he does have a phenomenal match-up. On the season, the Hawks rank 25th against PG's. Schroder is a bad defender, but it has more to do with the lack of help around him and in the paint. Rozier is no normal PG, either. He's one that likes to get into the paint and go for efficiency. He will let it go from 3, but you'll typically find him under the basket fighting for boards or kicking it out to someone else. The triple-double last game...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Kyle Lowry FD - $7400 DK - $7300 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 37.48 DK - 39.17 Welcome to NBA Thursday! While we have just a 5-game slate on our hands, there is plenty to dive into. We still have 4 or 5 important injuries to wait for and another 2 or 3 already set in stone. One of those is John Wall. The Wizards will be without Wall for the recent future and it leaves a huge hole at PG. Kyle Lowry will look to take advantage against lackluster defenders like Tomas Satoransky and Tim Frazier. Lowry has been one of the more consistent players on the season and deserves all the cash-game love. He’s over 30 FP in just about every game and occasionally flashes that 50 point ceiling. The Wizards like to play fast and will have some trouble at PG until they figure things out without Wall. Lowry is still expensive, so a fade is fine, it’s just the lack of other options around this price range is troubling. He’s a guy I’ll have in close to 100% of lineups. Tomas Satoransky FD - $4900 DK - $4600 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 24.83 DK - 24.76 We'll now look at 2 value PG's, who are in play because of injuries. Tomas Satoransky has seen 21 and 30 minutes with Wall hurt and has put up 24 and 27 fantasy points. He's always been productive when on the floor and it just comes down to how many minutes you can bet on. I think it's safe to assume 25 in games with Wall out, but he'll be over 30 in most of them. He's trusted to run the offense when out there and has posted a 19% usage over the last 2, up from his typical 15%. The match-up with Toronto is nothing to write home about, but it's fine. He's a lot bigger than Kyle Lowry and should be able to take advantage inside. He's a guy who gets his upside from rebounds and assists, so we're not too worried about him scoring. The Raptors are a bottom-7 rebounding team and 2nd to last against PG's. Satoransky is never a guy...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Kyrie Irving has been ruled out against the Knicks with a quad injury With Marcus Smart already out for an extended period of time, the Celtics are extremely shorthanded here. Rozier was already getting 25-30 minutes on most nights and will get close to 38 now. I think the rest of the minutes gets spread out evenly between Larkin, Nader, Allen, and Bird. We'll also see Horford, Brown, and Tatum pick up a few extra shots and have the ball in their hands a lot more often than normal. Horford and Rozier are my 2 favorite plays in both formats. Kevin Love will miss 6-8 weeks with a fractured hand Love broke his hand in the beginning of last game, so we don't really know exactly how the Cavs will react. With the minutes, it'll be a mix of Crowder, Frye, and Green. They are all interesting and I'm sure 2 of the 3 will destroy value. LeBron and Isaiah will also see a few extra shots and Thomas now has no competition for shots after LBJ. Against an average, yet slow Heat squad, I'm not a huge fan of anyone. Thomas and LeBron are my favorites with Crowder following shortly behind. Lauri Markkanen will not travel for this game for personal reasons Mirotic was questionable as well, but he's been cleared. That leaves us with Mirotic and Portis at the 4 for Chicago. Both will see extended run and deserve attention in all formats against a weak Blazers interior. Portis and Mirotic are 2 of the most productive DFS players in the league when on the floor and are just victims of their situations. I'll have a ton of exposure to both (mostly Portis) in all formats and don't think there is much of a floor under 25 for either. What We're Waiting to Know Devin Booker is questionable to return against the Mavericks Booker missed last game against the Grizzlies, so we know where the minutes will go for the most part. Honestly, I hate how the Suns coach. Everything about it. Aside from T.J. Warren getting a concrete 35+ minutes and FP's, nothing on this entire team is certain. Caanan saw the start last game and played just...
