We've got you completely covered. What We Know Joel Embiid and Jerryd Bayless are out against the Utah Jazz This isn't necessarily unexpected, but he hasn't rested much at all this year. It's not a bad idea at all by the 76ers to give him a seat against Rudy Gobert and the Jazz. Gobert is the best defensive center in the league and while Embiid would have done fine, it would have been a hassle. Instead, a lot the looks will go to Ben Simmons, T.J. McConnell, and Robert Covington. With Jerryd Bayless also out, it puts McConnel into the spotlight as one of the top value plays on the day. He's the only 76'er I'll personally have exposure to. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is out with a bruised hip Hollis-Jefferson took a nasty fall last night in a game that was one of the most disappointing from a DFS-perspective in a while. RHJ has been the 2nd option on this offense, so this does matter more than it did last season. D'Angelo Russell, Caris LeVert, and DeMarre Carroll will all see 3 or 4 more shots. The minutes, though, will go to Quincy Acy.With Trevor Booker already out, there is nobody else at PF and we know C depth is nothing. Acy is bare minimum on both sites and a fantastic play because of it. He isn't a great player anymore, but he can still rebound with the best of 'em and it will be a challenge to miss value in 25-30 minutes (minimum). David Nwaba is out for the next 2-4 weeks He's been pretty good for the Bulls, but the minutes have remained limited. This won't make the biggest impact on any 1 guy, but all of Holiday, Dunn, and Valentine see a small boost for the next few weeks. They're fine against the Raptors, but I wouldn't let this news put you on anyone. Domantas Sabonis is out with a calf injury With Myles Turner already back, this doesn't do all too much. It forces Thaddeus Young to keep playing big minutes and Turner to get closer to 30. They are both interesting plays against a Pelicans squad that is going to demolish them. With that being said, their size will be neccesary, even if they do...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Kyrie Irving FD - $9500 DK - $8800 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 42.01 DK - 42.1 After a solid Sunday NBA slate, we have a short 3-gamer on our hands tonight. I don't know why the NBA schedule has been so weird early in the season, but let's hope it starts evening out sooner rather than later. While we only have 3 games on this slate, it's a pretty nice 3 games. We'll start off with an affair between the Hawks and Celtics that's sitting at a 206 over/under with BOS -6. This will be the game we get the least exposure to, but it's still a pretty solid game to target. It will stay close at a fairly decent pace and have some of the lower-owned plays of the day. I don't think Kyrie will fit into that low-owned category, but he's a great play nonetheless. He hasn't gone off for over 50+ fantasy points, but he's been more consistent than he ever was in Cleveland. He is on a B2B, but he only played 27 minutes last night, so 35+ should be no issue. Dennis Schroder is an atrocious defender and the Hawks have allowed the 8th most FP to PG's since 2016. Irving is a great high-end PG option who may have his first 50 FP total of the season. Mike James FD - $5800 DK - $5300 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 30.28 DK - 30.08 I could be way off here, but I think Mike James is going to be one of those guys that flash in the pan and completely disappear before arising as a backup somewhere else. Maybe he'll be the new Ramon Sessions. Maybe he'll be the next Steve Nash. Doubtful. I think everyone knows Tyler Ulis is a better PG, but James plays better with Booker, so he's getting more minutes and producing. He's been over 20 fantasy points in just about every game and showed his upside with 45 less than a week ago. We're going to get to a few more Suns, so I'll save the Nets speel for them. You just need to know that the Nets play at the fastest pace and...

As for the fantasy implications, Kyle Kuzma and Julius Randle will step in and be just as good. I'm a bit hesistant wth Randle still as they have showed a lot of caution in his minutes. If you want to take a shto in tournaments, I love it. As for Kuzma, he's my favorite play on the slate and we'll get to him in a minute. What We're Waiting to Know Kristaps Porzingis is considered questionable to play and missed pratice yesterday If Porzingis plays without anyrestrictions, he's one of the top plays on the slate. He will also probably go very under-owned as he's had the Q tag all day. If POrzingis happens to miss this game, Enes Kanter and Tim Hardaway Jr. get the biggest bumps. Everyone else in the starting lineup can be slated for 3 or 4 more shots as well. Myles Turner is a GTD against the 76'ers Turner has been out for a while, so we know what happens if he is out. If he plays, I'll stay away from the Pacers big anyway. There's too many other options and we don't know how the minutes will be distributed. I guess he could take 3 or 4 shots away from Oladipo, but I still love him. Every Lineup Guys Kyle Kuzma FD - $4700 DK - $4700 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 15.68 DK - 16.49 This one isn't too tough. Kuzma was already picking up almost 30 minutes a game and now the starting PF has broken his thumb. You can guarantee 30 minutes with the upside for 40 in the back-back. Kuzma has been a phenomenal DFS player when on the court this season and sees an optimal match-up with the Nets. Kuzma will be the highest owned player on the slate and rightfully so.

We've got you completely covered. Point guard John Wall FD - $9900 DK - $9700 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 52.38 DK - 53.88 John Wall and Russell Westbrook are both going to be popular on the high-end. On FanDuel, Westbrook is a lot safer and I get using him in all formats. On DraftKings, Wall is $2k cheaper, and we'll roll with him. Wall hasn't had the 60 point explosion we've come to expect, but he's been extremely consistent. He has the ball in his hands more than anyone in the league and in a match-up with an Eastern Conference rival, his minutes can be locked in over 35. That foe is the Cavs, who are in the yearly spiral that everyone pretends to make matter. This is, in turn, a pretty big game and I expect both teams to show up. We know Derrick Rose is a bad, bad, bad defender and Wall will get to the hole at will against him. Outside of Rose, Wade or J.R. Smith may take a shot. I don't really think any of them have a chance, which is why you have to love Wall. With a close spread, high total, good match-up and plenty of rest, John Wall is a guy you can build a cash game or tournament around. Westbrook will also take a lot of the ownership, so neither of them will be too highly owned. Goran Dragic FD - $6800 DK - $6600 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 35.19 DK - 36.09 Let's keep the consistency theme here at PG with Goran Dragic. You won't catch him with many 50 FP performances like Wall, but he's around 28-35 fantasy points in almost every game. At under $7k, you can't ask for much more. His 4-50 point upside will flash in the pan a couple times a month and this could be a spot. He faces off with the Nuggets, who don't really have a PG that can play defense. Jamal Murray and Emmanuel Mudisay are both young kids who are everything but sharp on defense. They've allowed the 6th most FP to opposing PG's at 46.6 per game. Through all of these injuries and cold streaks the Heat have endured, Dragic has...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 11/2/17 Welcome back! I've changed things up a bit for just today as we have a very peculiar 2-game slate on our hands. We typically have at least 3 or 4 on Thursday, so it's a bit rough that the NBA is going with this schedule. Anyway, there's still money to be had and good/bad plays to decipher through. Let's go through each of the games in-depth instead of looking at every single person in play at each position.

Golden State Warriors @ San Antonio Spurs Vegas - 218, GS -7 Warriors Stephen Curry FD - $9500 DK - $9000 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 46.61 DK - 48.33 We kick it off at PG like most days with Stephen Curry. Curry and the Warriors head int San Antonio to face a Warriors team that's a shell of themselves. Without Kawhi Leonard, the Spurs are unable to do most of what makes them successful on both sides of the ball. They're also running just a bit more, going from a 96.1 to a 98,2 PACE. It doesn't seem like all that much, but it's a few possessions for both teams where many different stats/FP can be accumulated. The PG spot has also been a problem for the Spurs with Tony Park sidelined indefinitely. Dejounte Murray and Patty Mills have split time and while both are average defenders, they're nothing to Stephen Curry. When Curry is on his game, he's made Pat Beverley look like a truly bad defender. Murray and Mills are no matches. Curry isn't going for insane 60+ fantasy points per night or anything, but he's been very consistent behind Durant and Vegas is telling us this will stay relatively close throughout. Curry has been over 40 FP for 6 straight games and will make it 7 here. If it stays close until the final buzzer, he could reach that 60 that he hasn't gotten to yet. Klay Thompson FD - $6800 DK - $6700 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 33.57 DK - 34.81 If you want to talk about consistency, Klay Thompson is the guy. It's obviously rare for a jump shooter to be so consistent, but Klay Thompson is no run of the mill jump...
