Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Josh Giddey FD - $7900 DK - $8400Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 40.41 DK - 44.61 The first big injury news of the day is that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will sit this game out with a knee sprain. Considering he has a 31.2 usage rate on the season, there are going to be a lot of shots and considerable opportunity opening up in this offense. Dating back to last season, when SGA was out of the lineup, Josh Giddey’s usage rate climbs to 26%, the highest on the team. There are some new faces here for sure, but Giddey stands to be the primary ball handler and could see a minutes bump as well. He is a strong play on both sites, but especially FanDuel at sub-$8K. Malcolm Brogdon FD - $6500 DK - $6500Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 38.91 DK - 42.36 Shaedon Sharpe FD - $7100 DK - $7300Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 34.18 DK - 36.91 The other big piece of injury news is that Scoot Henderson will miss at least one game with an ankle sprain. It’s very easy to see what opportunity this will open up in the Blazers’ offense. Malcolm Brogdon will draw the start at point guard and is due for a minutes bump at the very least. With Portland this season, he’s averaging 18 points, 4.4 assists, and 4.6 rebounds in about 27 minutes. If that bumps into the low 30s then he should hit value easily against a struggling Memphis Grizzlies team. Meanwhile, Shaedon Sharpe has been playing massive minutes for Portland, averaging more than 39 (you read that right) over the last four. He blew it out of the box last game with 29 points, seven assists, and five rebounds and should be up for a solid line again in this one. The price is excellent on FanDuel. Strongly consider Desmond Bane (FD 8100 DK 8800) against a weak Portland Trailblazers defense. Small Forward Jimmy Butler FD - $8300 DK - $8400Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 44.24 DK - 45.94 The Washington Wizards are quickly becoming the dream matchup in fantasy, running the fastest...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard CJ McCollum FD - $7700 DK - $7200Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 39.79 DK - 42.76 Jordan Hawkins FD - $4300 DK - $4600Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 24.04 DK - 26.69 CJ McCollum has been a popular play over the last couple of games, but that’s been contingent on Brandon Ingram being out of the lineup. As of this writing, it’s unclear whether Ingram will sit again on Thursday with the knee soreness, but he has been ruled out on the earlier side for each of the last two games. McCollum sees a big usage and on-ball uptick, taking 17 and 21 shots in each of the last two games. And now he’ll be facing a Pistons team that is middling in terms of pace and actually slightly above average in defensive efficiency. With CJ, make sure the Brandon Ingram news is set before clicking the button. Additionally, Jordan Hawkins would fall into this same kind of contingent spot as McCollum if Brandon Ingram were to sit. Hawkins got the start in each of the last two games, playing 35 and 37 minutes each. The rookie was a chalkier play on Wednesday and got up a whopping 19 shots though struggled with efficiency making only four. He would be close to a lock at his current pricing on both sites if he were to start again so we will need the news on Ingram first. Markelle Fultz FD - $5800 DK - $5500Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 34.22 DK - 35.77 After drafting Anthony Black and keeping Cole Anthony, it was thought that Markelle Fultz could struggle a bit with playing time this season. But that hasn’t been the case, especially in the last couple of games going 32 and 33 minutes respectively. He doesn’t shoot threes, but is able to maintain a higher fantasy floor because he does get to the rim and rebound the position well. He’s yet to put it all together in one bigger game this season, but there’s reason to expect it at some point. The Jazz have been the third-worst defensive efficiency team so far this season...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Ben Simmons FD - $7100 DK - $6800Opponent - MIAProj Pts FD - 39.91 DK - 41.98 Cam Thomas FD - $7800 DK - $6600Opponent - MIAProj Pts FD - 34.63 DK - 37.23 You can’t love the matchup here against the Miami Heat, but the Nets are already down bad in the injury department and are going to have to run the starters a lot of minutes here. Spencer Dinwiddie is doubtful along with Dennis Smith Jr while Cam Johnson and Nic Claxton are already out. It’s going to mean a lot of run for Ben Simmons and Cam Thomas in the backcourt. Ben Simmons is already putting together solid fantasy lines even without shooting all that much. He’s averaging 8.3 points, 10 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game to go with two blocks+steals. At his price points with the idea that he’ll play even more minutes now, I think he makes for a pretty easy buy even in a bad matchup. And then there is Cam Thomas who has been one of the true breakout stories here to start the season. He’s averaging 33 points per game through the first three, taking 19 shots from the field and getting to the line a ton. You won’t get much in the way of other stats from him, so it’s scoring or bust. But the usage is so high it’s tough to pass him up on DraftKings especially. Fred VanVleet FD - $7500 DK - $7400Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 39.49 DK - 42.68 Jalen Green FD - $6600 DK - $6100Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 36.28 DK - 40.12 The Rockets are 0-3 and you have to think they are going to go all out here against the Hornets to try and get that first W of the season. The starters, in close games at least, are locked into high minutes and that’s what we should see out of Fred VanVleet and Jalen Green in this game. FVV has been inefficient from the field, starting the season shooting only 37% and barely getting to the line. He had a great game against the Spurs...

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 LaMelo Ball FD - $9400 DK - $9700Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 47.52 DK - 51.81 There isn’t a lot of defense expected in this Hornets-Pistons game and that’s going to be good news from a fantasy perspective. LaMelo Ball ran about 32 minutes in the first game of the season, going for a double-double with 15 points and 10 assists. He struggled from the field at 4-15 which is somewhat problematic, but a good sign for the usage. His price on FanDuel is right in the sweet spot and even though this game doesn’t have the highest total, we can have exposure here. Because of the way he contributes across the stat line, the floor is high even in this tier. Cade Cunningham FD - $8700 DK - $8800Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 45.35 DK - 49.04 One of the big surprises from the first night of the season was the insane usage Cade Cunningham had coming back from a lost 2023 season. He put up a whopping 27 shots for the Pistons in their one-point loss to the Heat. Cade had twice as many shots as the next closes Pistons guy and this could be a trend that continues going forward. And even with all of the chucking, he still managed nine assists as well. He’s the whole offense right now and these prices are simply too low. Scoot Henderson FD - $5500 DK - $5900Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 32.44 DK - 35.42 The bad news first: the Blazers stink and they got killed in the first game of the season, losing 123-11 to the Clippers. Don’t let the final score fool you, this was well over before a garbage time “comeback” in the 4th quarter. The good news though is that Scoot Henderson played through the blowout, running 36 minutes when it was all said and done. He didn’t pile on the stats, but I think those are going to come for the #2 overall pick and his price is too low on both sites. Chris Paul FD - $8100 DK - $6600Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 36.58 DK...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 5/10/23 That Tuesday card wasn't the best we've seen in these playoffs, but we're expecting a sensational slate here. We have two closeout games to talk about, with Miami and Los Angeles looking to end their respective series. I have a gut feeling that the home team is going to prevail in both of these games and extend each series. The recent form wouldn't indicate that, but the Knicks and Warriors have to play well with their backs against the wall in a 3-1 set. With that in mind, let's ride the starting point guards of those two teams.

Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $10400 DK - $10000 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 50 DK - 53.02 If you're fading Chef Curry today, you should probably find another hobby. This former MVP is facing elimination in this Game 5, and he's been unstoppable in those circumstances in the past. The former MVP had 74 DraftKings points in the Game 7 against Sacramento and is averaging 29.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, 7.1 assists, and 1.6 steals across 41 minutes a night in his 12 career elimination games. That's well over 50 DK points per outing, and we have to assume that'll be his floor since Curry is looking at 40-45 minutes and 25-30 shots. We also saw Curry drop 76 fantasy points in Game 4, which is no surprise since LA allowed the second-most fantasy point to opposing PGs in the regular season. Jalen Brunson FD - $9000 DK - $8700 Opponent - MIA Proj Pts FD - 43.56 DK - 44.74 Brunson is clearly the Knicks best player at this point, and they're going to need him to step up in this must-win Game 5. That's what Brunson did in Game 4, collecting 58 DraftKings points across 44 minutes of play. That gives him a 45-point average across his last 11 outings, scoring at least 37 fantasy points in all of those. The usage is what's going to make him valuable because he could be looking at 25 shots and 45 minutes, just like Curry. Not to mention, Immanuel Quickley is expected to sit, and it wouldn't be shocking to see...
