FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 2/26/23 It's strange to have half of the games not featured on the main slate, but that's what we've got here! That's common for Sunday slates, though, because the NBA loves to spread these games throughout the day. We're just going to focus on the four games beginning at 7ET because that's when most sites provide their largest prize pools. We have some of the worst defenses in the NBA suiting up among these eight teams, and it should lead to a fun card! With that in mind, let's get started with the three-point champion!

Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $10500 DK - $11400 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 50.16 DK - 52.67 It's tough to predict the highest-scoring player on a slate, but Dame has to be one of the top picks on the board. This sharpshooter has scored at least 41 DraftKings points in 19 of his last 20 games, generating a 55-point average in that span. He's scoring nearly 40 raw points per game in that stretch, carrying this offense without Jusuf Nurkic. He's also done most of that damage with Anfernee Simons healthy, and it's scary to think how high his usage will be with Simons sitting this game. A matchup with Houston is the icing on the cake, with the Rockets ranked 28th in total defense while surrendering the most fantasy points to opposing PGs. That's led to Lillard scoring at least 46 fantasy points in seven of their last eight meetings! Jordan Poole FD - $8000 DK - $8500 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 41.38 DK - 43.79 It's been fun watching Poole run this offense in the absence of Stephen Curry. Poole is actually leading the team with a 32 percent usage rate when Curry is on the bench, averaging nearly 40 DraftKings points per game in those outings. The boost in shot attempts, assists, and usage is what's allowing Poole to thrive because stepping into the Chef Curry role would benefit anyone. A matchup with Minnesota is magnificent, too, with the T'Wolves ranked fourth in pace and 20th in total defense. They're also allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing PGs, with Poole...

Guards Tyrese Haliburton FD - $8800 DK - $9400 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 46.33 DK - 49.36 Looking at the top of the salary on Saturday, there are a lot of tough matchups for the top guys which has me drifting toward a more balanced build for this slate. It starts with Haliburton who picked up where he left off right before the break dropping a double-double on 22 points and 14 rebounds in an OT loss to the Celtics on Thursday. It was the second time he had posted 56 or more fantasy points in his last three games and while there has been some up and downs at these prices, this is a great spot in a game with a 230+ total and one of just two games where both defence's rank in the bottom half. Jordan Clarkson FD - $6900 DK - $7300 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 38.13 DK - 42.71 Talen Horton-Tucker FD - $5900 DK - $5500 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 37.9 DK - 39.98 Speaking of great spots, the late game between the Spurs and Jazz is the prime spot on this slate with a 241.5 total with the teams ranking 30th and 26th in defensive efficiency respectively. Let's start on the Utah side where Collin Sexton remains out of the lineup adding a ton of value to the guard position. Clarkson has been consistent all season and even better in the short term dropping 20+ points in seven of his last eight games while averaging 19 shots a game and with the addition of 4.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists in that time, is averaging just shy of 35 fantasy points. As for Horton-Tucker, he is coming off his second start of the season and while he went just 2 of 11 shooting for nine points, he added seven rebounds, six assists, and three combined steals+blocks for over 31 fantasy points. He is primed for another start tonight and if the shooting gets back to normal, he has a high floor for cash and lots of upside for GPP's at this sub $6K price tag on both sites. Both guards are in great spots against the Spurs league-worst defence and are in play in all formats. Malaki Branham FD - $5700 DK - $5200 Opponent -...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Anthony Edwards FD - $9400 DK - $9100Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 49.09 DK - 52.35 Mike Conley FD - $5800 DK - $5700Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 32.96 DK - 35.74 The Timberwolves find themselves in the best fantasy situation going on Friday, facing up against the Charlotte Hornets who rank 24th in defensive efficiency and second in pace. That’s the DFS sweet spot and stacking Minnesota in cash games should have a high floor. Anthony Edwards leads the charge here, playing the most minutes on the team and carrying in incredibly high usage, especially after the trade of D’Angelo Russell at the deadline. Edwards has averaged 23.5 shots per game over the last four putting up 30+ in three of those games. It’s just too good a spot for him here and the opportunity shift means the price is still just a tad too low. And then there is Mike Conley. Bad news first: last game Conley played 33 minutes and scored exactly zero points. That won’t make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, but here we are. The good news is that he played a bunch of minutes and that should continue to be the case here. I think stacking this game as much as possible is the play and I’m willing to live with some of the downside risk Conley presents with his overall game. Jrue Holiday FD - $8000 DK - $8900Opponent - MIAProj Pts FD - 42.24 DK - 46.26 The Bucks are going to be without Giannis Antetokounmpo because of a wrist issue and that tends to open up opportunities nearly across the board for this team. It’s not an amazing matchup against the Heat, but a guy like Jrue Holiday is still firmly in as a play, especially on FanDuel where the price is a bit too low. Seeing as how Khris Middleton is still coming off the bench with a minutes-management piece, Holiday should take over the offense here. With Giannis off the court this season, Holiday has a 33% usage rate, the highest on the team (Giannis is 40% for the...

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 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $10200 DK - $10500Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 54.04 DK - 55.27 The Thunder and Jazz play in the game with the highest total on the slate and we are going to want exposure to both sides of this thing. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander makes for one of the best pay-up options on Thursday, coming in with the prospect of a high minutes expectation and likely significant usage. The Jazz play the fourth-worst defense and run a top-10 pace and SGA has been good for about 19+ shots a game over the last couple of months. He doesn’t take many threes but he seems to get literally whatever he wants near the basket and gets to the foul line a ton too. He could be a popular play here considering the baseline and the matchup. Damian Lillard FD - $10500 DK - $11400Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 53.72 DK - 59.03 Lillard is another interesting case here considering the state of the Blazers. Anfernee Simons is going to miss some time here. Dame put up 30 shots in his final game before the All-Star break and he’s scored 33+ in four of his last five games. Rest assured, he’s going to put up a ton of shots in the short-term and gets a great matchup against the Kings and their top-10 pace with bottom-third defense. Jordan Clarkson FD - $6400 DK - $7500Opponent - OKCProj Pts FD - 35.18 DK - 39.47 The Jazz traded away Mike Conley and now are going to be without Collin Sexton for this game against the Thunder. That should line up well for Jordan Clarkson in the usage department with 20+ shots and minutes in the mid-30s most-definitely on the table. Clarkson has scored 20+ points in five of the last six games and done just enough in the rebounding and assist categories to keep the floor on the higher side. With the Jazz roster issues, I think he’s a popular play on this slate. Markelle Fultz FD - $6500 DK - $6000Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 37.08 DK - 38.57 Fultz has come on very...

Guards Jrue Holiday FD - $8000 DK - $7500 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 37.48 DK - 41.19 The system has been loving Jrue Holiday over the last week and to be honest, it hasn't been wrong. Holiday has been playing great in the short-term averaging 24.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 7.0 assists over the past four games while providing us 37 or more DraftKings points in each of those games and showing monster upside last game with 64 fantasy points. The Bulls are not the greatest of matchups(7th in def eff) but are playing on a back-to-back and it helps that Jrue gets all the minutes he can handle and despite playing well has not seen his price go up much at all. He is in play in all formats. Mike Conley FD - $6200 DK - $5200 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 27.83 DK - 30.77 Bradley Beal FD - $9300 DK - $7700 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 35.74 DK - 38.49 There is a lot to like about this game from a fantasy perspective as it has the highest total(234.5) on the slate and features the only two teams ranked outside the Top 10 in defensive efficiency. Let's start with some exposure to the guards and we can attack both sides here starting with Mike Conley who was a new addition to the T-Wolves at the trade deadline. He was eased into his first start playing just 26 minutes but was unleashed last game against the Mavs and looked good providing just over 31 fantasy points. At his current price, we are looking for a 28-point floor and he has tallied that in 11 straight games. On the other side of the ball, Bradley Beal is coming off a poor fantasy effort but we cannot ignore the price differential as FanDuel has him over $9K while DraftKings has dropped the price back down into the $7K. That is where I am comfortable playing Beal now that he is no longer the 30-points-per-game player he was a few years back. Before that disappointing effort last game, he was on fire tallying 40+ fantasy points five straight and more good news as he is getting the volume again. Both guards are in play in all formats. Also Consider: Terance Mann(LAC) as a value...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 2/15/23 Coming up on the All-Star break, this used to be the halfway point, but we're nearly three-quarters of the way through the year. That means the All-Star break is a week to prepare for the final stretch run because anything can happen over the closing two months. It'll be really fun to see how Kevin Durant looks in a Phoenix uniform, and it feels like there are 10 teams in the running for a title. That's all we can hope for as NBA fans, and it'll be fun to see how everything plays out!

Point Guard LaMelo Ball FD - $9900 DK - $10400 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 51.35 DK - 51.27 Ball's season was derailed by injuries early in the year, but this stud point guard is rolling right now. LaMelo has scored at least 52 DraftKings points in five of his last six games, flirting with triple-double averages in that span. That's the stud we've been waiting to see, and Charlotte clearly wants him to be the showman for their offense. That's sensational in a matchup with the Spurs, who sit dead-last in points allowed and defensive efficiency while surrendering the most fantasy points in the NBA. They're simply the best matchup in DFS right now, with many of their stud opponents dropping 50-plus fantasy points on them on a nightly basis. Malcolm Brogdon FD - $5600 DK - $6000 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 33.03 DK - 32.86 Injuries have obliterated this Boston roster. They're expected to be without Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Marcus Smart in this game and could be missing Robert Williams and Derrick White as well. Williams played just 12 minutes in the front end of a B2B while White stayed in Milwaukee to examine his ear. If all of those guys are out, Brogdon should start and do everything for this offense. That's scary because Brogdon is averaging 27 DraftKings points per game in a limited bench role. If he gets the 35 minutes, 15-20 shots, and 30 percent usage rate we expect, this efficiency monster should be an $8K player. The matchup with Detroit is the icing on...
