We've got you completely covered. What We Know Stephen Curry has been ruled out against the Bucks Curry missed last game, so this isn't a huge surprise. We know what to expect for the most part and we definitely don't want to overreact. Patrick McCaw and Shaun Livingston will both see 20-25 minutes, but I don't have a desire to play either. Instead, I'll look towards one of Thompson, Durant, and Green. Durant sees the biggest bump of all and is in play in all formats in what should be a close game. With a 223 over/under, this is a game you'll want exposure to and this Curry news just concentrates the Warriors. Marquese Chriss has been ruled out against the Rockets Chriss played just 10 minutes before getting hurt last game. Dragan Bender came in and ended up playing 39 minutes, putting up 43 fantasy points. He's always productive when on the floor and it just comes down to the minutes. He's the top play on this slate and we'll get to him in a minute. Len, Chandler, or Monroe could pick up some minutes, but you have more testicular fortitude than I if you can roster any of them. The Suns big men are still unpredictable and Bender is the only guy I have much interest in. Gary Harris has been ruled out for personal reasons Harris is a guy we ignore on most slates, but he plays huge minutes and takes a lot of shots. Will Barton is the easy pick to take over and he should get close to 40 minutes. Other than him, Beasley and Mudiay may pick up a few. I have no interest against a Grizzlies defense that is better than any other on the slate. Barton is fine in tournaments, but you can probably do better. What We're Waiting to Know Anthony Davis is questionable against the Blazers AD ended up sitting against the Grizzlies and it allowed a few guys to go off. We know DeMarcus Cousins is the biggest benefactor here and he will be one of the top plays on the slate if Davis is ruled out. He sees his usage go from 32% to 38% and also sees a couple extra minutes. His ceiling rises to 80-90...

'Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 1/12/18 Welcome to NBA Friday! We have 9 games on the board tonight and a whole lot to go through. With 3 games already releasing with a 217+ total, it's going to be a fun night. We have a few superstars to pay up for and a few concrete value plays, but not a whole lot of obvious glue guys between. Let's jump into the action and take a look at the top picks at each position.

Point guard Chris Paul FD - $10800 DK - $10600 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 53.88 DK - 56.01 We'll kick it right off with a game that deserves a lot of attention on this slate. With a 227 over/under and just a 6 point spread, we'll look to target guys from both sides. Starting with Chris Paul, he's been dynamite without James Harden. Like we expected, the ball is in his hands for what seems like 80% of every possession and he rarely isn't involved in the final shot. He hit his 70 fantasy point ceiling last game against the Blazers and will do it a few more times while Harden remains out. This match-up with the Suns couldn't be better. Aside from playing faster than anyone in the league, they can't cover guards. On the season, they rank 21st against PG's with 47.1 FPPG allowed. CP3 is a lock for 45 and I don't think it's crazy to expect 60. He is just so consistent in this role and the match-up is perfect. You will find him in every single lineup of mine, full disclosure. Rajon Rondo FD - $5300 DK - $5900 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 27.2 DK - 27.7 We'll now dip into the low/mid-range with Rajon Rondo. He's been over 30 minutes in 2 straight games and it's the only thing that ever keeps him off of our radar. Rondo would be a $7k player if he got 30+ minutes for a month straight. It's just a fact. He's always active when on the floor and fills up the stat sheet as much as any guard in the league. Tonight, he's facing off with the Blazers. On the season, they rank in the top 10 against...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 1/11/18 After a jam-packed Wednesday night, the NBA has left us with just 3 games on tonight's slate. There are only a few guys to pay up for and plenty of value to choose from. All 3 games should remain close and there isn't 1 game that stands far above the rest. Let's jump in and take a look at the top plays at each position. 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!

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Delon Wright FD - $5700 DK - $4900 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 28.94 DK - 28.04 After a juicy Wednesday NBA slate, we have just 3 games on the main slate. There's another game earlier in the day, but we'll be ignoring that one. We kick things off at PG with some injury-dependent value. Lowry is officially questionable, but has looked closer to doubtful. In his absence last game, Delon Wright player 29 minutes and put up 33 fantasy points. It was a tough match-up with a Heat team that plays slow and does a decent job against PG's. tonight, he'll draw Isaiah Thomas and no rim protection. LeBron should be all over DeRozan and there will be plenty of usage to go around. If Lowry is out, bank 28-35 minutes and 25+ fantasy points for Wright. The ceiling is a lot closer to 50 and very realistic. His price has slightly risen, but he can be played on either site. Jawun Evans FD - $5100 DK - $5300 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 26.22 DK - 26.52 With Milos Teodosic and Austin Rivers both out in the last 2 games, Jawun Evans has played 39 and 36 minutes. He struggled against the Warriors last night (18 FP), but put up 43 and 30 fantasy points the 2 games prior. The Warriors are always a weird match-up and even more so with guys like Livingston and Iguodala playing most minutes at PG. Tonight, they face off with a porous Kings defense. They're league average against PG's on paper, but De'Aaron Fox has a long way to go as a defender and he doesn't have the best help behind him. Evans is far from reliant on any 1 stat and has done a good job of keeping himself involved even after...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have been ruled out against the Clippers Kevin Durant came into the day in question, but it's Curry and Thompson who are going to sit out. Minutes-wise, Shaun Livingston and Quinn Cook will fill in for Curry. Nick Young and Patrick McCaw will fill in for Thompson. Livingston and Young are the 2 guys who I have a lot of cash game interest in. Usage and shots-wise, Durant, Iguodala, and Draymond all see huge boosts. Against a weak Clippers defense, they are all in play. Without Curry and Thompson, I think the game stays close. Durant and Green are both elite plays in all formats that will come in higher owned. Myles Turner has been ruled out against the Heat Turner has been pretty disappointing lately, but he still plays a healthy amount of minutes and takes a lot of shots in them. Al Jefferson hasn't played much of late, but could get up to 15-ish minutes. The real guy to pay attention to is Domantas Sabonis. He will get the start at center and could get close to 38-40 minutes. He's been an insanely efficient DFS player and is one of the top value options on the board. Milos Teodosic and Austin Rivers have been ruled out against the Warriors With both of these guys out last game, Juwan Evans picked up 39 minutes. He put up 44 fantasy points and played a really solid game. He should be back over 35 minutes and will face off against the Warriors 2nd string guards. Tyrone Wallace could also pick up 20+ minutes, but you can do better on this slate. James Johnson will serve his suspension tonight After exchanging hands with Serge Ibaka last night, he'll receive a quick slap on the wrist with a 1-game suspension. Johnson plays 25-30 minutes a game, but has been hurt for a lot of the season. Expect Jordan Mickey to get back around 10-15 minutes and for Kelly Olynyk to pick up the other 5-10. The Pacers are a strong match-up and will be playing small tonight with Sabonis at the 4. I don't love anyone on the Heat, but Olynyk is the one guy I'd have GPP exposure...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 1/10/18 Welcome to NBA Wednesday! We have 11 action-packed games on the board with plenty of injuries to dissect. The value is sufficient, but so are the ways to pay up. With 5 games over a 210+ O/U and none of them expected blowouts, this will be a high-scoring night. Let's jump in and break down the top plays at each position. 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! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with NBA or NFL? 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 Russell Westbrook FD - $11100 DK - $11400 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 60.56 DK - 64.07 We kick things off on the high-end with Russell Westbrook. He's one of the 3 most expensive players on the slate and deservedly so. He's putting up 55+ on most nights with the rather-frequent 70 burgers. He's not taking quite as many shots as last year, but holds a similar usage rate in games that he gets hot. The Timberwolves rank dead average against PG's and are in a bit of a weird situation with Jeff Teague coming off of an injury. Vegas has this game at a 211 over/under with a -4 spread, so it's expected to be high-scoring and competitive. We know Westy will get over 35 minutes here and could see 40 if the game goes a certain way. Westbrook will continue his dominance again tonight and can be booked for a floor of 50 if it stays close. His ceiling is hypothetical and you never really know what he can do on any given night. We do know the Timberwolves are going to have trouble with him on the perimeter and don't have any rim protectors to help. He's one of the top superstars of the night and should be considered everywhere. Chris Paul FD - $10300 DK - $9700 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 48.21 DK - 50.56 You have to love Chris Paul tonight. He's doing exactly what we thought without James Harden and doing it consistently. With 45+ in 4 of the last 5, he's one of the safest plays on the entire slate. The ball is in his hands all game long and we know his minutes have no cap. Whether the Blazers have Lillard or Napier at the helm doesn't really matter. Neither are any good at defense and...
