Guards Donovan Mitchell FD - $10000 DK - $9300 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 46.45 DK - 49.63 The Cavs tightened up the rotation on Wednesday which led to some massive minutes for the starters including Mitchell who played 44 minutes and led the team with an insane 32 shots. He also delivered on that usage, shooting over 53% from the field and delivering his fifth 50+ fantasy point game in his last seven. Despite the red-hot play, the price still is not back up where it should be considering the elite matchup against the Pistons who rank 28th in defensive efficiency and in fantasy points against guards. Fire up Mitchell as a core play in all formats. Tyrese Maxey FD - $6600 DK - $5400 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 28.47 DK - 31.07 Maxey re-entered the starting lineup over the last two games and has been phenomenal dropping 22 of 38 shots(58%) from the field and against some tough competition in Dallas and Miami. While I am not expecting a near-ceiling game against the Bucks here, we don't necessarily need it on DraftKigns where the price has barely budged up over $5K. There is always risk with these shooting-dependant guards but at this price on a smaller slate, we can afford to take that risk, especially on DraftKings. Devonte' Graham FD - $5100 DK - $4500 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 21.69 DK - 22.35 The minutes have been up and down for Graham since joining the Spurs but the opportunity is on the rise as he is expected to get his second consecutive start on Saturday. From a PTS/$ perspective, he has been very good providing 20+ fantasy points in seven of eight games with his new team and has two performances of 35+ including last game against the Pacers where he drew the start. This is also arguably the best matchup on the board here as the Rockets are 29th in defensive efficiency and dead last in fantasy points allowed to guards. If starting, I will have exposure to Graham in all formats. Small Forward Keita Bates-Diop FD - $5300 DK - $5200 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 25.75 DK - 26.92 The Spurs' value is most definitely going to be chalky once again tonight as Johnson, Vasseell, and...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Damian Lillard FD - $10800 DK - $11600Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 54.3 DK - 59.72 Damian Lillard is just on a ridiculous run right now. It’s really something. When healthy, since January 8th, the dude is averaging 38 points and seven assists a game. This is about as good as you’ll ever see with 60 and 71 point games thrown in there for good measure. Portland will be without Anfernee Simons again for this game facing a Hawks team running a top-10 pace and a bottom-10 defensive efficiency. The spot sets up well for Dame who is on a different level right now. Terry Rozier FD - $7800 DK - $7700Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 39.5 DK - 42.82 Kelly Oubre Jr. FD - $7000 DK - $6600Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 38.57 DK - 40.4 The Hornets are without LaMelo Ball for the rest of the season and these two should play major minutes as long as games can stay close. That was the case last game with both running 38 against the Suns in a loss. Rozier took 18 shots and finished with 20 points, but he has a 29.8% usage rate when Ball is off the court this season. Meanwhile, Kelly Oubre took a team-high 24 points and finished with 26 points while adding in nine rebounds. The matchup against the Magic on Friday should be a better one though Orlando isn’t exactly a rollover team. That being said, the Hornets guys without their star are all a bit underpriced and this game doesn’t have inordinate blowout risk. Anthony Edwards FD - $9400 DK - $9400Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 47.1 DK - 49.93 I still want to trust Anthony Edwards at these prices now that the team has traded away D’Angelo Russell and still doesn’t have Karl-Anthony Towns back in the mix. The 18 and 19 shots respectively over the last two games isn’t quite where it should be for a score-heavy guy like Edwards, but the usage over the course of the season has been there. This isn’t a defensively stout Lakers team so the matchup is...

Guards Luka Doncic FD - $12000 DK - $11900 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 55.64 DK - 60.04 We have another small slate Thursday so it might just be in the cards to lock in the massive floor that Luka provides. There were a few bumps in the road but not only did Luka enter the break red-hot, he picked up where he left off as well averaging 32.6 points, 8 rebounds, and 7.2 assists over his last five games while providing a 58 fantasy point average as well. It is a tougher matchup against the 76ers but the good news is that they are playing on a back-to-back and Luka's price is back down after exceeding $13K earlier in the year. In the end, it will depend on the value that arises so stay tuned for starting lineups later in the day. Bradley Beal FD - $9400 DK - $8000 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 38.25 DK - 41.42 If that value doesn't pop up to where we can comfortably fit Luka, there is a nice selection of mid-tier guard plays starting with Bradley Beal who has returned to fantasy prominence over the last month. Going back to late January(10 games), Beal has averaged 26.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and a combined 1.7 steals + blocks while tallying 40+ fantasy points seven times(43.5 average). He is also set to see more big-time usage with Monte Morris set to miss his third straight game which offsets the rising price when looking at the PTS/$ projection. All things considered, Beal is my favorite play at the guard position tonight. Klay Thompson FD - $8300 DK - $7800 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 37.29 DK - 41.65 With Steph Curry out of the lineup, I have gone back and forth between Poole and Thompson continuously and while both get a huge boost in usage, it really just comes down to price. Klay is not only cheaper on DraftKings tonight but he also provides a bit more safety as Poole is playing through a knee bruise. One downside is that Klay is very shooting dependant but as I mentioned the usage is most definitely there as he has taken 19 or more shots in eight of nine games since Steph went down with injury while averaging just...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 3/1/23 Did the month of February even happen? It blew my mind to write March 1 when preparing this article, but that's just what happens when you're having fun. DFS is a good mixture of fun and chaos, but we feel like we have a great read on how these rotations are playing out right now. It was a bit strange directly out of the trade deadline, but everything is coming together right now. We've also had some big-name injuries recently that will open up some value but let's get started with two of the best point guards in the NBA!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $11000 DK - $11900 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 52.74 DK - 55.48 Fading Lillard would be silly. This sharpshooter took down the three-point contest at All-Star weekend but has been the best scorer in the NBA over the last month. Dame has scored at least 56 DraftKings points in 15 of his last 20 games, averaging nearly 40 raw points per game in that span. He also flashed a 93-point upside just a few days ago, and it's clear Portland will allow Lillard to do everything with Anfernee Simons and Jusuf Nurkic both sidelined. New Orleans is far from scary, allowing 120 points per game in their current 7-20 stretch. In his last four matchups with the Pelicans, Dame is averaging nearly 65 DK points per game! Ja Morant FD - $10000 DK - $9900 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 46.58 DK - 47.94 Ja was dropping jaws on Tuesday night, collecting 39 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists en route to 74 DraftKings points. That's one of the best games of his career, but it becomes less surprising when you see his 50-point average for the year. Ironically, his highest-scoring game before this was in this same matchup against Houston. The Rockets rank 27th in points allowed and 29th in defensive efficiency while surrendering the most fantasy points to opposing point guards. That was on full display when Morant amassed 73 DK points in their one matchup this year, doing that damage across just 31 minutes of play. Dennis Smith...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Josh Giddey FD - $7700 DK - $7500Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 43.61 DK - 47.83 Isaiah Joe FD - $5300 DK - $4400Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 32.33 DK - 35.75 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is going to miss another game which means we should see increased opportunity for both Josh Giddey and Isaiah Joe in this one against the Kings. Joe really blew it out of the box two games ago against the Suns when he went 36 minutes, put up 17 shots, and finished with 28 points and seven rebounds. He came back with a 24-point game against these very Kings on Sunday. The price hasn’t climbed enough for his new opportunity and he’s an especially easy play on DraftKings. Meanwhile, Giddey isn’t going to be a high-usage guy, but the on-ball time alone raises his floor considerably with SGA out of the mix. He went for 18 points, seven rebounds, and five assists last game and his price, in general, is still very much in the value zone. I think pairing both of these guys and possibly Lu Dort is the way to go in cash though there is definitely blow out risk with this game. Talen Horton-Tucker FD - $5900 DK - $5900Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 38.9 DK - 41.05 With Jordan Clarkson now out for the Utah Jazz and Collin Sexton already on the shelf, the backcourt is starting to look pretty thin for this team. Talen Horton-Tucker has been set in the starting lineup for a few games now and in that time he’s averaging 12 points, seven rebounds, and six assists. It’s not an overwhelming stat line, but he will add stats on the defensive end which does give him some upside at these prices. With the best matchup on the board against the Spurs, this is a pretty easy play especially when you factor in that the Jazz are missing so many players in the backcourt. And along those lines, we will likely see either Ochai Agbaji (FD 3900 DK 3800) or Kris Dunn (FD 4500 DK 3600) in the starting lineup. Either could be solid...

Guards LaMelo Ball FD - $10300 DK - $10300 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 50.71 DK - 52.89 All eyes will be on this game as it features the only two teams ranked outside the Top 20 in defensive efficiency. For me, it starts with LaMelo who has picked up where he left off before the break and opened the second half with back-to-back double-doubles, one with rebounds, and one with assists. Going back to the end of January, Ball has been one of the hottest players in the league nearly averaging a triple-double on 24.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 9.4 assists for just shy of 55 fantasy points per game. On this smaller slate, he is my top guard and top overall play on both sites. Jaden Ivey FD - $6000 DK - $5600 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 30.66 DK - 33.71 On the other side of this fantasy-friendly matchup, we have another player who has been producing excellent PTS/$ numbers in the short term. Ivey comes in with the second-highest usage in the current starting lineup for the Pistons and has taken double-digit shot attempts in five straight while providing 30+ fantasy points in each of those games. This game has a total(236.5) that is 11 points higher than the next highest, the Hornets rank outside the Top 20 in defence, and with a price that is only slowly on the rise, Ivey is a top PTS/$ play for me in all formats Monday. Derrick White FD - $6900 DK - $5500 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 31.38 DK - 33.42 While this matchup is not nearly as fantasy-friendly as the one above, Jaylen Brown will be out for the Celtics which opens up some PTS/$ value at the guard position. The biggest beneficiary of Brown's absence is Derrick White who has averaged over six more shots per game and over 43 fantasy points per game over eight games with no Brown going back to the start of January. There is a bit of risk here as he is dealing with an ankle injury which has me a little less interested on FanDuel at nearly $7K but on DraftKings where the price is still way down in relation to his role, White is a top value and a core play in all...
