FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 4/19/23 These NBA Playoffs have been phenomenal. The first few days were amazing, but Tuesday's slate was full of blowouts. What's interesting about this Wednesday card is that we have almost every superstar on the injury report. That's rare at this time of the year, but it feels like we could be without Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ja Morant. That would be massive for this DFS card, so let's kick things off with someone benefiting from one of those absences.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Jrue Holiday FD - $9000 DK - $8200 Opponent - MIA Proj Pts FD - 44.13 DK - 45.57 This is one of the best two-way players in the NBA, and he always brings it when Milwaukee is in the postseason. That was on full display in Game 1, with Holiday dropping 53 DraftKings points, despite shooting 6-of-18 from the field. The massive game is no surprise with the boost in usage, averaging nearly 50 fantasy points per game when Antetokounmpo has been sidelined this year. Jrue is also carrying over some stellar form, scoring at least 53 fantasy points in three straight outings. Facing Miami usually concerns us, but Holiday has at least 45 DK points in three of their five meetings this year. If Giannis is out, Holiday needs to be in every lineup out there! Jamal Murray FD - $8700 DK - $7600 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 38.77 DK - 40.18 People might forget this, but Murray was one of the best playoff players before his ACL tear. In 34 career playoff games, Murray is averaging 24.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 1.0 steals per game. That's the fantastic form we've seen from Murray for a month, averaging 40 DK points per game over his final 34 games. What's made Murray so magnificent in the postseason is his role, playing 38 minutes a night while attempting 19 shots a game. That sort of role would make anyone a great option, and we haven't even discussed this matchup. Minnesota owns a 27th OPRK against opposing PGs, with Murray amassing 42 and 50 DK points in their two most recent meetings. Shooting Guard Khris Middleton FD -...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 4/16/23 How awesome was it to watch that opening day of the playoffs? The final two games of the night were spectacular, and I can't wait to keep it going. Every day is going to be a bloodbath because these teams play harder than ever before. We have four games making up this Sunday slate, but all the games are spread throughout the day. Get your lineups in early!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Jamal Murray FD - $8400 DK - $7600 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 38.77 DK - 40.18 We've seen Murray look like one of the best players in the postseason in the past, and that makes it hard to understand why he's just $8,000 with the way he's been playing. The talented guard has scored at least 37 DraftKings points in 15 of his last 18 games. He's also averaging 41 DK points per game in that span, doing a ton of playmaking with Nikola Jokic swallowing up so many defenders. That fantastic form should carry over well against Minnesota, ranked 19th in points allowed while surrendering the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing PGs. In their most recent meeting, Murray totaled 42 fantasy points! Mike Conley FD - $6900 DK - $6400 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 31.22 DK - 31.89 Not many people talked about Minnesota acquiring Conley at the trade deadline, and it's hard to understand why. This veteran has come in and become one of their leaders, scoring 31 and 44 DK points in the T'Wolves two play-in games. We've seen him play like that since the trade, with Conley compiling a 32-point average across his last 17 outings. That's all you can ask for from a sub-$7K player, and you know Minnesota will lean on their veteran in this opening road playoff game. He's had success against Denver all year, averaging 30 DK points per game in their two matchups. That's no surprise since the Nuggets own a 23rd OPRK against opposing PGs. Shooting Guard Norman Powell FD - $6700 DK - $5700 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 26.88 DK - 27.77 It was unclear who would benefit from Paul George's injury,...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 4/9/23 It's the final day of the regular season. If you're playing DFS today, god bless you! You know we'll be playing, though, and it's actually a great day to capitalize if you follow the NBA as closely as we do. Over half of the starters in the NBA will be resting on this slate, and it'll be easy to ride some stars-and-scrubs stacks. We have a few superstars in must-win games and numerous minimum-priced players who will step into some prominent roles. With that in mind, let's kick things off with one of those studs and then dive into the cheap guys!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $10400 DK - $11000 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 48.31 DK - 51.47 There are only a few superstars that we know will suit up and play a full allotment of minutes, and Curry is one of them. The Warriors are battling to hold the six-seed in the west, and that should force Curry to play his usual 30-35 minutes. We love that with the way Chef Curry is cooking right now, scoring at least 44 DraftKings points in eight of his last nine games. The former MVP also has a 50-point average for the year and should be locked in for a must-win game for the Warriors. That victory will be much easier against Portland, with the Trail Blazers ranked 27th in defensive efficiency. Not to mention, Curry has scored at least 51 DK points in four of his last five meetings with Portland. Shake Milton FD - $5400 DK - $6000 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 29.96 DK - 30.86 We've always enjoyed watching Shake get busy in limited minutes off the bench, and it was a treat to watch him run the show on Friday. With the whole starting lineup sitting on Friday, Milton scored 44 DK points across 43 minutes of action. He did that damage despite shooting just 7-of-22 from the field, and he'll surely have a better shooting night here. Shake has also started and played at least 35 minutes in nine games this year, totaling a 38-point average in those outings. That means...

Guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $10600 DK - $10200 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 53.85 DK - 55.08 With two games remaining in the regular season(for most teams), there is still a ton to play for in the Western Conference and the Thunder are right in the middle of things. They are currently tied for the final play-in spot and can eliminate the Jazz with a win tonight. This must-win scenario also helps us for fantasy in finding safety at very volatile part of the season. The upside for SGA has been somewhat limited since the break but the floor has been very consistent as he has averaged just over 51 DK points per game. More good news as the matchup is elite with the Jazz ranking 25th in defensive efficiency and dead last in fantasy points given up to guards. SGA is my top guard on this slate. Skylar Mays FD - $6000 DK - $6400 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 33.76 DK - 37.31 The Trail Blazers have already been eliminated but present us with some options for fantasy in a projected thin rotation with all the starters out and about three more players questionable. One player who has stepped into a huge opportunity is Skylar Mays who has been terrific since being signed out of the G-League. He has played at least 30 minutes in all three games while averaging 17 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 7.3 assists for just over 35 fantasy points a game. In a projected close game against an even worse Spurs team, Mays is a core play in all formats tonight. Tre Jones FD - $7000 DK - $6100 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 30.37 DK - 32.2 While neither of these teams will be headed to playoffs, this is a near dream scenario for fantasy as the game is expected to be close, high-scoring and features two of the worst defences in the league. Jones has been a consistent option for us down the stretch averaging over 30 fantasy points a game and also flashed his upside with a triple-double against the Kings on Sunday. Like Mays, the price is on the rise but so is the opportunity as he gets a terrific matchup against a Blazers defence that allows the second most fantasy points to guards....

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 4/5/23 Playing DFS right now is not for the faint of heart. In fact, I wouldn't even play unless you have a ton of free time before first tip. We have whole teams resting players at this point, and it's imperative to follow every bit of news you see. That becomes even more critical on this slate because half the league is playing the second half of a back-to-back set. Those teams include Atlanta, Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles (Lakers), Memphis, Milwaukee, New Orleans, Sacramento, Toronto, and Washington. This week has already been chaotic, but these B2Bs will make this one of the most fascinating slates of the season.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $12200 DK - $12000 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 64.06 DK - 65.99 The Mavs got a gift when OKC blew a double-digit lead on Tuesday, and it should guarantee Doncic a few more starts. A win will move them to a tie with OKC, and you know this team will ride their superstar in this must-win game. Doncic is more than a superstar, though, leading the NBA with over 60 DraftKings points per game. His league-leading usage has led to that absurd average, and it should continue since he's also leading the league in usage. Sacramento is a sensational matchup, with the Kings ranked 28th in total defense. If Doncic gets the 40 minutes, 25 shots, and 40 percent usage rate we've become accustomed to, he needs to be the best bet for the top-scoring player on this slate. Jalen Brunson FD - $9400 DK - $9200 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 42.47 DK - 43.71 This price tag is a bit lofty, but Brunson will be tough to fade with Julius Randle missing this game. With the big man off the floor, Jalen generates a 32 percent usage rate, averaging 1.3 DK points per minute. That's an elite rate, and it should be his floor here since Brunson has a 45-point average across his last eight games. The matchup with Indiana is incredible, too, with the Pacers ranked 26th in defensive efficiency and 28th in points allowed. The boost in shots, minutes, and usage...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $10600 DK - $10000Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 53.39 DK - 55.15 This is a tricky slate because we have teams with motivations that are just all over the place. Some are fully (and I mean fully) in the tank and others are still vying for playoff positioning or seeding. This game lines up with other teams (in theory) trying and should mean for max minutes on both sides. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has played 38 minutes in each of the last two games for OKC (both losses) with 39 points in each on 22 shots in each. It’s a remarkably similar line. I still think he’s in a great spot here if the Thunder can hang and there will be other ways to save in your DFS lineup. Théo Maledon FD - $6300 DK - $6100Opponent - TORProj Pts FD - 35.74 DK - 38.59 On such a big slate, we are going to need to make some plays from teams with questionable motivations right now. One of them is could be the Hornets who are fully in the tank and are running out a total skeleton crew without LaMelo Ball, Terry Rozier, PJ Washington, Gordon Hayward, and Kelly Oubre. That’s left Theo Maledon to play a ton of minutes and he ran 41 on Sunday against the Raptors. In that game, he finished with eight points, even though he took 16 shots, along with 14 assists and eight rebounds. He’s a great per minute fantasy play at these prices and could have a higher floor if he’s relatively blowout proof. Shaedon Sharpe FD - $8100 DK - $8000Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 37.72 DK - 40.61 Skylar Mays FD - $5000 DK - $5100Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 26.28 DK - 29.62 Speaking of teams in the tank, the Blazers have been there for a minute now with Damien Lillard (and really everyone else) out for the season while they try and lose. That’s left Shaedon Sharpe with a ton of minutes and shots with newcomer Skylar Mays getting the starts. Portland won (by accident) against the Timberwolves on Sunday...
