We've got you completely covered. What We Know John Wall is fully expected to return against the Cavs He missed last game due to personal reasons and didn't practice yesterday, but Coach Brooks said he's good to go for this one. he's going to be fully rested and will get his usual 34-38 minutes. The game is expected to be high-scoring (223) and the Wizards are only favored by 6, so we should expect Wall to get his full workload. If he does, Collin Sexton is one of the worst defenders out there and Wall has to be considered one of the best plays on the entire night. Paul Millsap will miss time with a broken toe The injuries just keep coming and coming for the Nuggets. With Harris already sidelined 3-4 weeks, Millsap will join him for at least a couple of them. He hasn't been an excellent DFS player so far this year, but plays big minutes and an important role for Denver. In his absence, it's going to be between Trey Lyles, Mason Plumlee, and Juancho Hernangomez to benefit. I think Lyles benefits most and could get over 30 minutes, which would make him a must play in cash games. They could also go big and play Plumlee, who's an elite FP per minute player. Hernangomez is another guy with a ton of upside and won't be as popular as he probably should be. Brandon Ingram will miss at least a week more with a sprained ankle With Ingram out last game, Josh Hart jumped up and played 36 minutes. For a guy that typically sits around 20, those minutes make him a hard guy to pass up on for cash games. With that being said, the Grizzlies are an underwhelming match-up and I don't think any of these Lakers are musts. If you must, Hart and LeBron are my two favorites. Taurean Prince, Jeremy Lin, Omari Spellman, Miles Plumlee, and Alex Poythress are all out against the Nuggets Holy cow. The injury bug has demolished both of these teams. Kent Bazemore is going to see the biggest bump and will get the start, along with 32+ minutes. Deandre Bembry is another guy that will benefit and is tremendous in a FP per minute basis. If...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard John Wall FD - $9500 DK - $9300 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 49.04 DK - 50.52 For the first time in a couple months, basketball owns Saturday! With only one CFB game on the board, most eyes should be focused on this slate of 8 NBA games. We'll kick things off in Cleveland, where the Wizards will come in as heavy favorites, even if there is no line on the game yet. John Wall missed last game for personal reasons, but is fully expected to return tonight. He has been playing a lot better as of late and has been over 50 fantasy points in most of the good match-ups he's seen. He'll return from his personal issues, so he should be well rested and ready to go for 35-40 minutes. Collin Sexton is an absolutely terrible defender and Wall will do whatever he wants on offense. I just think it comes down to whether or not the Cavs can keep it close. If they do, I don't see how Wall stays away from 50 fantasy point in 35 minutes. Jamal Murray FD - $7600 DK - $7800 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 38.07 DK - 39.16 Jamal Murray is finally hitting his stride. After nailing a few road bumps to start the season, he’s starting to show his consistency and upside on a nightly basis. He’s been over 40 fantasy points in two straight contests and is getting huge minutes. 40, 46, and 36 to be exact in his last three. This is a second leg of a back to back, though I wouldn’t be worried as Murray played 35 and 39 minutes in a back to back sets just about a week ago. Murray is young and the Nuggets aren’t worried about running him a ton. As for the match-up, it doesn’t get much better. The Nets rank 4th worst against the position and play at a top 10 league PACE. Recipe for success. Collin Sexton FD - $4900 DK - $4900 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 29.5 DK - 31.03 With George Hill being sent to Milwaukee, Sexton is going to see some...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Kyle Lowry FD - $8300 DK - $8400 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 38.89 DK - 39.97 Welcome to NBA Saturday. It may be NCAAF Championship Week, but we have a phenomenal slate of basketball on our hands and there is money to be made. There are six games on the board with plenty of injury news waiting to open things up. We'll kick it off in Cleveland, where the Raptors will do their best not to blow out the Cavs. Vegas currently has the Raptors as 13 point favorites, so I don't think it's a good idea to steer clear of the superstars. The Cavs have been playing a lot better and will have home court advantage. The Raptors will still maintain control of the game and that all starts with Kyle Lowry. He's been extremely consistent around 35-40 fantasy points and has performed well in plus match-ups. The Cavaliers rank 19th against point guards and play faster than average. Lowry is cheaper than the rest of the stars at PG and is extremely safe in all formats. You can't go wrong with any of these top four guys. Darren Collison FD - $6300 DK - $5400 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 28.02 DK - 27.38 Cory Joseph FD - $4400 DK - $4400 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 21.73 DK - 21.41 Neither of these guys are very exciting, but they’re point guards playing against the second fastest team in basketball. Victor Oladipo is also expected to remain out, so the usage bump will remain. Collison has seen a slight price bump, but he’s still affordable and Joseph has remained near the minimum. De’Aaron Fox is one of the worst defensive point guards in basketball and Hield isn’t much better at the two. With only five games on the board, Collison is going to be one of the more popular cash game plays. It’s a great match-up with Oladipo still out on a slate with limited options. Don’t be afraid to jump on board in cash games, but also know there are other solid options. Joseph is one of them. John Wall FD - $9500...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $11300 DK - $10700 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 53.61 DK - 56.2 Welcome to Saturday NBA! We have a ton to look at on this slate and there are a bevy of options at every position. We're going to kick things off with Russell Westbrook, who heads this article more than any other player out there. He deserved every bit of attention last night, putting up 60 fantasy points with a 30/12/6 line. He now gets a very similar match-up with a Nuggets team that ranks middle of the road (19th) against point guards. Jamal Murray is nothing special and the only reason they aren't one of the worst is because of the PACE change. With a 220 total, there will be enough tempo in this game for Russ to flourish. He's a lock for 50 fantasy points and has the upside for 70. The game holds the 3rd highest total on the board and Westbrook still isn't as expensive as he will be soon. He's always an elite cash game option in this offense and now jumps into the all lineup consideration in a friendly match-up against a squad that lacks interior defense. The Nuggets have been better against PGs this year, but no PG goes in the paint more and plays outside less. John Wall FD - $9400 DK - $8500 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 49.75 DK - 51.61 If you don't like Westbrook for whatever reason or just don't have the funds to pay for him, John Wall is a phenomenal alternative. He's in a rock solid match-up against a Pelicans team that has ranked 2nd worst in all of the NBA. Jrue Holiday hasn't held his own on the defensive side in the absence of Elfrid Payton, allowing 50.87 FP per night to the position. Wall is an all-around superstar that can attack in a ton of different ways. He thrives in the open floor when he's able to run and distribute with ease. He's been shooting a bit more this year and it's opened up his scoring abilities. He's still the same passer he has always been, and if his recent games are any indicator, the increase in time of possession could...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Eric Bledsoe FD - $7500 DK - $6900Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 35.12 DK - 34.67 Welcome to NBA Monday! After a weekend chalk full of football, we have a fun slate of basketball tonight. We have 9 games on the board with plenty of injuries and opportunities to take advantage of. Starting with point guard, there is plenty to look at. On the high-end, Ben Simmons, Kemba Walker, and Kyrie Irving are all fine. They don't stand out, but have tournament upside and won't be too popular. We'll instead kick things off with Eric Bledsoe, who's been extremely consistent as of late. He's playing 30 minutes on a consistent basis and has been over 35 fantasy points in five straight games. He now draws a match-up with the Nuggets, who run in the bottom 10 against point guards. They play a lot slower than we're used to, but still don't have much of a defensive presence. . His price is still fair and Bledsoe is a strong option in all formats. Especially on DK under $7k. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $6000 DK - $5300Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 32.94 DK - 32.33 Patrick Beverley FD - $4800 DK - $4900Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 22.75 DK - 23.1 We do need to pay attention to the status of Avery Bradley, who’s listed as questionable tonight. Assuming he’s once again out tonight, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Patrick Beverley will split minutes at guard. Both have been productive as of late and this is their best match-up yet. The Hawks not only play fast, but rank 26th in the league against opposing point guards. Bazemore is slightly better than Young at defense, so whoever draws that match-up has a slight advantage. Beverley is a bit more safe and SGA has far more upside. They are both viable across the board. Darren Collison FD - $5100 DK - $4900Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 23.08 DK - 23.08 Cory Joseph FD - $4100 DK - $3900Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 17.65 DK - 17.68 As of now, Victor Oladipo is listed a questionable to play tonight. He played just 4 minutes after...
