Guards Luka Doncic FD - $10400 DK - $10600 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 50.98 DK - 56.03 Donovan Mitchell FD - $8900 DK - $8800 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 47.48 DK - 52.27 No reason to start anywhere else for the guard position than in this game. Let's start with Luka who made his return to the lineup for the first time in the series and looked good playing 34 min, taking 21 shots from the field(10 from behind the arc), and posting a double-double on 30 points and 10 rebounds. The price in the $10K range gives us a very nice PTS/$ floor here with a ton of upside as Doncic should get extended run in his second game. On the other side of this game, we have Donovan Mitchell who is my top PTS/$ play on the entire slate. Through four games in this series, he is averaging over 40 minutes, averaging 25 shots a game, and has dropped at least 45 DK/43 FD points in all four. Elite play in all formats. James Harden FD - $9200 DK - $9200 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 52.71 DK - 58.04 With the likely guard ownership with the two above, we might get Harden at a bit of an ownership discount tonight and if that's the case, sign me up! He may not be getting the volume like the two guards above but he is an elite contributor in almost every category and is averaging just over 45 fantasy points a game(5x at these prices) on both sites. With Embiid banged up and playing through injury, Harden could most definitely take on more usage which would make his price massively underpriced for the upside. Marcus Smart FD - $6000 DK - $6300 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 34.6 DK - 36.96 There isn't a whole lot of value on this slate but the system does like the PTS/$ floor with Marcus Smart. The upside is somewhat limited but he has been a solid producer against the Nets through three games scoring 12 or more points and dishing out five or more assists...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks and Lineup Advice for FanDuel and DraftKings – Friday 12/14/18

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Kyrie Irving FD - $8500 DK - $9000 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 45.42 DK - 46.22 Kyrie gets one of the best DFS matchups around, facing off against the Hawks. Atlanta plays at the league’s fastest pace (108.5) and rank 22nd in defensive efficiency. They are allowing more than league average scoring and assists to opposing point guards this season and Kyrie should be in for another big usage night with the Celtics still without some key cogs in their lineup. He got up 28 shots in 40 minutes (included OT) against he Wizards on Wednesday on his way to 38 points. There’s some blowout concern with the Celtics -12.5 home favorites against the lowly Hawks which would buzz of Irving’s minutes’ upside. But he’s still firmly in play for cash games. Additionally, Terry Rozier played a lot of minutes on Wednesday with the Celtics shorthanded. That could be the case again on Friday if Hayward, Jaylen Brown, etc are once again out of the lineup. Emmanuel Mudiay FD - $5100 DK - $5700 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 28.11 DK - 28.66 If you are ready to start trusting this Knicks, then Mudiay once again enters the cash game fray on Friday. He’s coming off a 31 minutes game on Wednesday in a loss to the Cavaliers and finished with a fantastic 16 point, seven assist, eight rebound game. Mudiay has these kinds of lines in him, but they are sporadic with inconsistent play combined with the volatility around the Knicks’ rotations. If Kahwi Leonard is out again, then Kyle Lowry and Fred VanVleet would of course vault to the top of the value plays list. This is one of the many situations to monitor throughout the day on Friday. There’s maybe a reason to consider Tyler Johnson at very cheap prices even against the Jazz. He drew the start last game with Goran Dragic out and the latter has already been ruled out again for Friday. Shooting Guard This position, at least at this point, is almost completely dependent on injury news. I'll outline that first, and then throw in another couple of plays. If Jimmy Butler is out again, then fire up Furkan Korkmaz. Last...
Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – 11/21/18
Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 11/21/18 Oh my goodness, what an NBA slate we have on Wednesday. The day before Thanksgiving gives us plenty to chew on (get it?) with primetime matchups galore. Russ vs. KD. Lebron vs. Cleveland. Brow vs. Embiid. It's all too much. Let's get into a fantastic slate of NBA action leading into the holiday. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA optimizer and our new player lab!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Russell Westbrook FD - $11000 DK - $10700 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 54.79 DK - 57.7 Westbrook returned from a six-game absence on Monday against the Kings and looked no worse for wear. He promptly played went for 29 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists in 37 minutes. There was no coddling in the Thunder approach to bringing him back into the fold and you can expect max effort from the guy on Wednesday against his old teammate. This game opens with the second-highest implied total of the evening (222.5) and a thin spread with the under-manned Warriors only -1 favorites. It figures to be the game of the night from a narrative perspective and rostering Westbrook in cash should provide a high floor. At sub-$11K on DraftKings, he seems like close to a cash game lock. Darren Collison FD - $5200 DK - $5200 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 31.2 DK - 31.1 Cory Joseph FD - $4200 DK - $3900 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 23.02 DK - 22.96 I’m writing these guys up under the assumption that Victor Oladipo sits again. He was ruled out very early on Monday, typically pointing to bad signs going forward, but we’ll need to wait on that news. If the Pacers’ star sits again then both Collison and Joseph enter the discussion as strong cash plays. I was surprised the latter had higher ownership than the former on Monday even though Collison still drew the start and stood to see big usage bumps with Dipo off the court. The Pacers blew out the Jazz so everyone lost minutes, but Collison still managed nine points, seven assists and six rebounds in just 27 minutes. If the affair had stayed even within striking range, mid-30’s minutes were in order. Meanwhile, CoJo ran 25 minutes and managed a 7/4/4/2(steals) line in 25 minutes. He would have pushed 30 had it stayed...
