DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Wednesday, 3/15
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 3/15/23 Man, if you can't adapt to chaos, this is not the time for you to play DFS. NBA DFS is always a challenging endeavour, but it becomes even more difficult at this time of the year. We have players rested every single night, and it becomes more problematic since every injury report is full as well. We're going to try our best to avoid DNPs, but that's unfortunately, going to happen at this time of the year. With that in mind, let's get started with two guards who are benefiting because of some absences.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard D'Angelo Russell FD - $8200 DK - $7700 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 36.17 DK - 37.63 The Russell trade looked like a win for the Lakers at the deadline, but it looks even better now. The former All-Star has scored at least 36 DK points in all three games since joining LA, posting a 44-point average in that span. That's the best stretch this guy has had all year, but it's clear the Lakers want him to run the offense. What really adds to his value here is the fact that LeBron James and Anthony Davis are expected to miss this game. That means D-Lo could play 40 minutes and take 20-plus shots while handling the ball on every possession. The matchup is the icing on the cake, with the Rockets ranked 28th in points allowed and 29th in defensive efficiency. Not to mention, they're surrendering the most fantasy points to opposing PGs, with Russell scoring at least 35 DK points in six of their last seven meetings. Devonte' Graham FD - $5700 DK - $5300 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 24.2 DK - 25.27 It's funny that we have Graham in here because he looked to be out of the league at the beginning of the season. Silly season will do that because Graham has stumbled into a prominent role with the Spurs. He's actually one of the only playmakers left on this roster, with Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassell, Tre Jones, Malaki Branham, and Jeremy Sochan all on the injury report. This tanking team will surely rest some of those...

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 Bradley Beal FD - $9000 DK - $8200Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 43.46 DK - 46.09 The Wizards have one of the best matchups out there on Tuesday, facing off against the lowly Pistons who have the third-worst defensive efficiency in the league and play an above-average pace. Washington is still in the hunt for the play-in game and have been consolidating their rotations some in the short-term, running the starters considerable minutes. In closer games, Beal has been playing 37+ and 24 or more points in five of his last six games. Even with Kristaps Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma healthy, there’s been more than enough usage to go around and Beal’s DraftKings price is a fantastic value. Killian Hayes FD - $7000 DK - $6200Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 39.06 DK - 41.85 The Pistons pulled off a somewhat surprising win over the short-handed Pacers on Monday night and are in a spot to play spoiler once again on Tuesday when they face the Wizards. Hayes has been solid from a fantasy perspective in the short-tier with Jaden Ivey out of the mix and that could continue here in this one. He had 10 points and 11 assists on Monday and that was following a 17 point, 13 assist game on Saturday against that same Indiana team. The price hasn’t fully corrected for his new opportunity with the Pistons backcourt so thin and I think we can still play him in cash. Immanuel Quickley FD - $6900 DK - $7100Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 36.04 DK - 38.97 Jalen Brunson is doubtful for this game so we should get Immanuel Quickley in the starting role once again. He only played 31 minutes last game when the Knicks took on the Lakers, which is a bit of a concern, but the usage should still be there in a good matchup against the Blazers. Quickly can fill it up from a scoring perspective but the shots need to be there. He’s a bit reliant, from a fantasy perspective, on putting the ball in the basket which does make him a bit risky at these price...

We got what we expected last week at the PLAYERS with water balls, high volatility, withdraws(Rahm smh), and a very wide range of scoring. In the end, it was Scottie Scheffler running away with it on Sunday and picking up his second win of the season. This week marks the final event of the Florida Swing as the tour heads to Innisbrook Resort and the Copperhead Course for the 2023 Valspar Championship. The overall field strength is similar to last year and expected after a big tournament like the PLAYERS. The field is led by World #9 Justin Thomas who is joined by six others(Fitzpatrick, Burns, Spieth, Keegan, Harman, Fleetwood) ranked inside the Top 25 in the Official World Golf Rankings. While not quite as tough of test as TPC Sawgrass last week, the Copperhead course plays similar in that it's a positional course with danger lurking on almost every hole. While you would think we would see similar volatility and less weight on course history, that has not been the case as Sam Burns returns as back-to-back champion which followed Paul Casey who won here in back-to-back seasons. My stats model this week will be similar to last in that Strokes Gained: Approach is at the top and once again golfers can gain a ton of strokes on the field on the Par 5's putting Par 5 Scoring and Par 5 Birdie or Better right a close second. When looking at par 4 scoring using the Fantasy National tools, I will also look at performance in the 400-450 yard range as five of the nine fall into that range. I will then combine that stats model with my course history and current form model. With that, let's take a look at the course, info, and previous winners, and then dive into the picks! The Course Innisbrook Resort...
DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Monday 3/13

Guards Trae Young FD - $9900 DK - $9400 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 46.43 DK - 50.43 We get three games tonight with monster totals and close spreads and I am going to start in Atlanta with one of the most consistent fantasy guards in the league. Going back to the start of February(15 games), Trae has been averaging a double-double on 26.2 points and 10.7 assists and has tallied 45 of more fantasy points in 13 of those games while just over 50! While the T-Wolves are 10th in overall defensive efficiency, they do struggle against guards giving up the fourth most fantasy points to the position. All things considered, Trae is my favourite payup at the guard position and in play in all formats. Killian Hayes FD - $6400 DK - $5700 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 36.18 DK - 38.38 This game doesn't fall into "high total" category but it sure checks the opportunity and value boxes as the Pistons will be short-handed once again on Monday with Burks and Ivey out again. It was Killian Hayes stepping up in the Pistons' most recent game taking 17 shots and while he only made seven for 17 points he added 13 assists for a double-double and 49 DraftKings points. I am not expecting another ceiling game but it is in the cards as he faces a Pacers team that ranks 25th in defensive efficiency for the season and 26th over the last five games. Fire up Hayes in all formats. Tim Hardaway Jr. FD - $5800 DK - $6400 Opponent - MEM Proj Pts FD - 32.06 DK - 35.59 Jaden Hardy FD - $4500 DK - $4000 Opponent - MEM Proj Pts FD - 30.3 DK - 33.41 With Luka still out and Kyrie questionable on Monday we get some more value at the guard position. Let's start with Hardaway who has responded in a big way to getting more volume recently as he is shooting 56% from the field(59% from three) across four straight games receiving double-digit shot attempts. That has led to an average of 35 fantasy points a game in that small sample. If Kyrie is ruled out for a second straight game, I think we can also go back to Hardy who started on Saturday, played 37 minutes, dropped...
DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Sunday, 3/12
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 3/12/23 This is a huge day for yours truly. Many of my season-long leagues are coming down to the wire, and this slate determines where my teams will end up in terms of playoff positioning. That has me motivated more than ever because I've done a ton of research to get ready for this card. The only thing that drives me crazy is that we have OKC playing a B2B. Who knows who will play for the Thunder a day ahead of time which sucks because they have the best matchup on the board. With that said, let's kick things off with the best scorer in the NBA right now.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $10600 DK - $10500 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 49.52 DK - 51.99 We don't have a ton of games, so it's going to be impossible to fade Dame with the way he's playing right now. This All-Star is leading the league in scoring over the last month, averaging 36.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 7.3 assists across his last 28 games. Lillard has also scored at least 39 DK points in all 28 of those, averaging nearly 60 fantasy points per game in that span. He's simply doing everything for a team trying to sneak into the postseason, and this is an important game against a struggling Pelicans team. In his last five matchups with New Orleans, Dame is posting a 59-point average against them. Josh Giddey FD - $8000 DK - $8000 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 39.59 DK - 40.87 We're taking a bit of a guess here, but we're going to assume that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams are rested in this B2B. Both guys had to sit earlier in the week in a B2B, and both guys played significant minutes on Saturday night. That means Giddey should do everything for Oklahoma City, averaging a career-high 37 DK points per game with those two in the lineup. We expect 40 fantasy points to be his floor if both of those guys are out because Giddey has at least 50 DraftKings points in four of his last six games. Facing San...

Guards Devin Booker FD - $10400 DK - $9900 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 48.21 DK - 49.8 We have a larger slate for a Saturday and a lot of good spots but let's start with the late game that also brings us the highest total(238.5) on the slate and a game that is expected to stay close(PHO -3). This is a perfect recipe for fantasy scoring and I will start my core with Devin Booker who checks all the boxes. He comes in red-hot since the break shooting 55% from the field(48% on the season) on 23.3 shots a game and has provided us 51 FD/53 DK points per game. He now faces a Kings team that is 25th in defensive efficiency while running a Top 10 pace. Despite the rising price, Booker is in play for me in all formats. Kelly Oubre Jr. FD - $7900 DK - $7800 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 37.52 DK - 39.48 The system is not nearly as high on Oubre as it has been due to the price approaching $8K on both sites but I am still on board considering the plus matchup tonight. Since re-joining the starting five, in the absence of Lonzo Ball, Oubre has been terrific shooting 47.3% on 18 shots for 25.2 points a game and with the addition of seven rebounds, he is averaging 39.6 DK/38.1 FD points per game. This is another game with a higher total(231) that is expected to stay close(CHA -2.5) and jazz are not only 21st in defensive efficiency, they are allowing the 2nd most fantasy points to guards this season. Lock and load with Oubre in all formats. Tim Hardaway Jr. FD - $5600 DK - $5300 Opponent - MEM Proj Pts FD - 28.02 DK - 29.7 The Mavericks look like they will be a bit short-handed tonight with Luka already ruled out and Kyrie is sitting with a questionable tag. Despite the tough matchup against the Grizzlies, this injury news does open up some much-needed value and it's THJ at the top of my list. With those guys in the lineup, he has played very well in the short-term shooting 57% on 35 shots over the last three games while averaging over 34 fantasy points. While the upside could be capped if the Mavs get...
