FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 3/6/22 Last night was a fantastic night of basketball. Right when I thought I never wanted to see the Lakers again, LeBron James reminded me why he's the greatest player of our generation. His 56 points were a pleasure to watch and nights like those remind you how special this sport can be. We likely won't get anything like that here, but we do have eight games making up this Sunday card.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Reggie Jackson FD - $7000 DK - $8700 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 37.4 DK - 39.48 This DraftKings price is nuts, but Reggie has earned every bit of it with his ravishing play. He had 36 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists in the most recent game, giving him a 40-point average over his last nine outings in total. It's easy to understand why he's been so productive when looking at his role, taking over this offense in the absence of Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Norman Powell. In this expanded role, Reggie is averaging about 35 minutes, 20 shots, and a 30 percent usage rate. That's all you can ask for, and it should be easy to continue here with New York ranked 19th in defensive efficiency ratings. Malachi Flynn FD - $6300 DK - $5400 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 32.91 DK - 33.23 With Fred VanVleet likely missing another game, Flynn should get another start at point guard for Toronto. He's been tremendous in this role, scoring at least 34 DraftKings points in three of his four starts. The simple fact is, the Raptors aren't taking this guy off the floor with FVV sidelined, playing 36 minutes a game in this newfound role. Getting a 34-point floor and 36 minutes is more indicative of an $8K player, and it makes Flynn one of the best values on both sites. Cleveland is definitely no easy matchup, but it really doesn't matter if Malachi continues to play 35-40 minutes at this price. Ja Morant has been averaging over 50 DraftKings points per game for a month now and gets the best matchup in fantasy basketball. Shooting Guard Gary Trent Jr. FD - $6600...

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/Shooting Guard I've taken to just putting these two positions together because there is so much overlap at this point. Dejounte Murray FD - $9600 DK - $10800Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 50.38 DK - 50.14 On this slate, Murray likely has the highest floor of any player. He’s been magnificent this season, averaging 20.3 points, 9.4 assists, and 8.4 rebounds on the season. And this is just the right kind of matchup for Murray in what is definitely a pace-up game for the Spurs. Charlotte is running the league’s fastest pace on the season (102.9) and is playing a bottom-third defense which lands right at the intersection of where we want to find opponents in DFS. The FanDuel price is an especially easy landing spot, though it’s a bit close on DraftKings. LaMelo Ball FD - $8000 DK - $8500Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 41.67 DK - 45.25 Maybe we want to stack the point guards from this game considering it has the highest total (240.5) of the entire five-game slate, beating out the next closest by about seven points. LaMelo is coming off a dreadful game that saw him play only 8 minutes (8!) after getting in foul trouble early and mostly just looking terrible. I’m not going to take all that much away from the game considering the season-long track record, but it is at least a mild concern. I’m hoping that others look at it and are steered away here. The price on both sites is totally palatable and we know he has a solid floor considering how he racks up fantasy points. D'Angelo Russell FD - $7800 DK - $7900Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 42.43 DK - 46.61 Patrick Beverley FD - $4700 DK - $5100Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 29.88 DK - 31.46 There are some injury issues we are going to need to have resolved before locking in lineups for this evening. But we should know most of it before 7PM EST. One of those pieces we need to know about is Anthony Edwards and his status. He sat out Friday and when that’s the case there is usage bumps almost...

Point Guard Dejounte Murray FD - $9600 DK - $10600 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 51.22 DK - 53.99 Let's get things started with a player who checks every single box and it starts with the matchup. The Spurs are arguably in the best spot of the night in a game with a monster total(238) facing a Kings team ranking 29th in defense and 6th in pace while also playing on a back-to-back on the road. For Murray, there have been a few less than stellar performances in the short term but he has still maintained an average of 54.6 DK/51.2 FD points per game since the start of February. All things considered, Murray is one of my top plays on the slate, especially on FanDuel where he remains in the sub $10K range. Ayo Dosunmu FD - $6300 DK - $5300 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 27.22 DK - 29.28 This Bulls/Hawks game is also very intriguing tonight in that it has the second-highest total(23.5) on the slate and is expected to stay relatively close with the Bulls opening as a six-point road favorite. My exposure to this game starts with Ayo who has seen his DK price drop to its lowest point since joining the starting lineup back in mid-January. Take out the dud vs. Memphis last Saturday and he is averaging 11.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 2.1 stocks per game going back to the start of Janaury. That is a nicely balanced attack and an average of 28.9 DK points per game which is more than acceptable at his current price. Lock and load on DraftKings. Keep an eye on Malachi Flynn(TOR) who has been terrific filling in for the injured Fred VanVleet over the last two games Shooting Guard Tyler Herro FD - $6400 DK - $6300 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 31.81 DK - 35.77 Joel mentioned it in yesterday's article and I am going to echo it again today. Tyler Herro is running away with the 6th man of the year award and what we love most about fantasy is that coming off the bench has helped keep his...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 3/2/22 We're down to about one month of NBA basketball! This season has flown by, and I'm disappointed that it's winding down to an end. In any case, it makes these final five weeks extremely exciting because most teams are still in the race. Many teams here are battling for playoff positioning, and it looks like we'll have a ton of close games on this ledger. There's a lot to discuss with this Wednesday card, so let's get started with a couple of cheap point guards.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Brandon Goodwin FD - $5500 DK - $6000 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 29.8 DK - 29.71 The Cavaliers backcourt has been throttled by injuries, but Goodwin has been a pleasant surprise for them. He's scored at least 23 DraftKings points in four of his five starts this season, averaging over 34 DK points per game in those four outings. That's a ridiculous total from a player sitting around $6K, and he should be a lock for 35-40 minutes with Darius Garland, Collin Sexton, and Rajon Rondo all injured. Getting to face Charlotte might be the best part of this, though, with the Hornets ranked second in pace, 23rd in defensive efficiency, and 28th in points allowed. BG actually played them in one of his five starts, collecting 39 DK points across 36 minutes of action in one of the best games of his career! Gabe Vincent FD - $4000 DK - $4200 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 21.1 DK - 21.37 Gabe has been underrated all season long. He's filled in for Tyler Herro and Kyle Lowry at different times this season, starting at point guard in 20 games. He's actually scored at least 21 DK points in 18 of those, providing a 28-point average in those outings. That's a ridiculous total from a $4K player, and we simply can't overlook the fact that he's playing 30-plus minutes in this expanded role. Milwaukee sounds like a tough matchup on the surface, but they rank sixth in pace and 16th in total defense. We just love this pricing with Vincent because it makes it so much easier to get studs into...

Point Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $9600 DK - $9600 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 48.71 DK - 51.22 The Thunder will be without Josh Giddey for the second straight game on Monday and that means another heavy workload for SGA. Despite turning the ball over seven times last game, he was en Fuego playing 38 minutes, shooting 13 for 24, and dropping one of his best fantasy performances(60.5 DK/61.1 FD) of the season. The price only ticked up slightly and he now gets an elite matchup against the Kings who rank 29th in defensive efficiency and 6th in pace. Fire up SGA in all formats tonight. Brandon Goodwin FD - $5300 DK - $5200 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 31.19 DK - 33.5 To say the Cavs are short guards tonight would be an understatement as all three of Garland, LeVert and Rondo are out. Goodwin has been the benefactor of getting more playing time and has put up double-digit shot attempts in back-to-back games and is set to get his second straight start after playing 38 minutes against the Wizards on Saturday. The shooting was nothing to get excited for(2-11 for 8 pts) but he did provide six assists and five rebounds to help him pay off. The price has gone up here but the PTS/$ floor is still high considering the opportunity and the matchup is decent as well as Minnesota ranks 17th in defensive efficiency and is a huge pace-up spot as they are also 6th in that area. Goodwin is a top value play on both sites. Shooting Guard Malcolm Brogdon FD - $5800 DK - $7100 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 34.77 DK - 37.67 Tyrese Haliburton FD - $9200 DK - $8600 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 40.42 DK - 42.72 The new-look Pacers have struggled to find wins(2-4) since the trade but are chock-full of fantasy production at the guard position so let's just list both here. Let's start with Brogdon who is having a very solid fantasy season thanks to a balanced effort. Before the Achilles injury in mid-December, he averaged 19.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 2/27/22 Lineup construction is always fascinating on slates like this, though, and we still have a ton to discuss. With that in mind, let's kick things off with some cheap point guards!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Reggie Jackson FD - $6800 DK - $7600 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 37.44 DK - 39.5 Reggie can be tough to trust, but he's the focal point of this Clippers offense right now. That's not exactly the best thing for Lo Angeles, but it's massive for Jackson's fantasy value. What's made him so good are the absences in LA, with Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, and Norman Powell all out for the Clips. That has led to Jackson leading the club with a 28 percent usage rate while playing 35 minutes a night. He's also the primary ball-handler and regularly takes 20 shots a game! All of that usage has led to Jackson scoring at least 29 DraftKings points in six straight games, en route to a 37-point average. That should be easy to duplicate here, with Houston ranked dead-last in defensive efficiency and points allowed. In this matchup last week, Reggie registered 40.3 DK points in one of his best performances of the season. Alec Burks FD - $4900 DK - $5200 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 27.33 DK - 27.61 Burks has had a rollercoaster season in terms of production, but it's easy to understand why. He was relegated to bench duties when Kemba Walker and Derrick Rose were both around, but he's now the starting point guard in NY with both guys out. He actually received 34 minutes in his first start on Friday, and that's pretty much the guy we've seen all year. In fact, Alec is averaging 29 DK points per game across 35 minutes a night in his 22 starts this season. That's all you can ask for from a $5K player, especially when you need some cheap guys to help fill in studs like our next recommendation! Russell Westbrook has been terrible recently, but his $8K price tag makes him a decent option with his triple-double upside. Shooting Guard Devin Booker FD - $9300 DK - $9500 Opponent...
