FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 2/8/23 This Wednesday card could be wild. We have the trade deadline in the next 48 hours, and it'll be fun to see what happens until then. We already had the first domino fall in the Kyrie Irving blockbuster trade, which could be the first sprinkle in a tasty sundae. We're hoping there's not too much trading going on before this slate takes off because that causes chaos from a DFS perspective. It's unlikely that we have any trades during the games, but that would be even crazier. In any case, let's take a look at this final card before the trade deadline.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $10000 DK - $10700 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 49.46 DK - 52.33 Dame gets in these stretches where he can make 30-foot stepback fadeaways and make them look like lay-ups. He's amid one of those right now, averaging 37.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 7.4 assists across his last 14 games. He's being asked to do everything for this offense with Jusuf Nurkic out, and that's terrible news for this 27th-ranked Warriors defense. They're also allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing PGs, and Dame has always destroyed them throughout his career. Lillard's childhood team is Golden State, averaging 28.9 points and 6.1 assists in their 32 career matchups. Fred VanVleet FD - $8900 DK - $9100 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 39.03 DK - 39.64 VanVleet got off to a rough start this year, but this guy is cruising right now. The former All-Star has scored at least 41 DraftKings points in 10 of his last 11 games, averaging 26 points, 5.2 rebounds, 7.5 assists, and 1.7 steals per game in that span. That's the stat-stuffing we've been waiting to see, and he should slice right through this subpar Spurs defense. Calling them subpar is unfair to everyone else because San Antonio sits dead last in both points allowed and defensive efficiency. They're also surrendering the third-most fantasy points to opposing PGs, and FVV averaged 47 DK points per game against them last year. De'Aaron Fox (FD $8900 DK $9000) is averaging over 40 fantasy points per game and...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard CJ McCollum FD - $7600 DK - $8000Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 40.22 DK - 43.76 Brandon Ingram FD - $7800 DK - $7100Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 39.57 DK - 42.82 Thought Brandon Ingram is back in the mix for the Pelicans, CJ McCollum is still seeing plenty of usage in this offense and playing minutes in the high-30s on a consistent basis. With the price still on the lower side on FanDuel, I think we can run him in cash games against this Hawks team. Atlanta is 19th on defense and runs a top-10 pace this season. Meanwhile, CJ is averaging a 22/6 over the short-term with the scoring even set to possibly take a jump in this game. And then there is Brandon Ingram who is fully back in the fold in terms of minutes and definitely all the way there on the usage as well. In 32 minutes on Saturday against the Lakers, Ingram took 28 shots and finished with 35 points while also pitching in five assists and four rebounds. He’s taken 20 shots or more in three of his first five games back. The price hasn’t caught up at all with the usage, especially on DraftKings. Jalen Brunson FD - $7900 DK - $8500Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 41.42 DK - 44.28 Speaking of guys who run big minutes, Jalen Brunson has one of the highest floors in the NBA where that is concerned. He hasn’t played fewer than 35 minutes in a game since December 20th and during that stretch is averaging 20 points, 5.4 assists, and four rebounds. It doesn’t get much better than that and the price certainly doesn’t reflect this opportunity all the way. Small Forward LeBron James FD - $10300 DK - $11200Opponent - OKCProj Pts FD - 54.08 DK - 58.28 It’s not guaranteed, but it could happen that LeBron James could end up breaking the all-time scoring mark tonight. He has two games to be able to do it at home, tonight and Thursday against the Bucks. Both games will be on TNT and short of injury it’s nearly guaranteed to...

Guards Jordan Poole FD - $7400 DK - $6200 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 39.75 DK - 41.9 Klay Thompson FD - $7600 DK - $7000 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 35.07 DK - 37.22 The Warriors will be without Steph Curry for a while, leaving a ton of minutes and usage to go around and these two should soak a lot of that up going forward. Let's start with Jordan Poole who sees the most significant bump as he has operated at a 33.5% usage rate with Steph off the floor(29% season average). We have a large sample to draw from here, as well, as Poole has started 15 games in which Steph was out averaging 28.1 points on 21.3 shots for just over 38 fantasy points per game. The price on FanDuel makes it a lot closer but on DraftKings, he is a core play in all formats. For Klay, he is coming off two games where his shot volume dropped off the table but was also playing through an illness. With Steph out, he is likely to get back to his old self where he averaged 22 shots a game over his previous 13 while also delivering an average of over 40 fantasy points despite two duds along the way. The Warriors guards have a tougher matchup here against the Thunder but this game has a monster total(237) and these two should get a ton of the shots. I will have exposure in all formats. Edmond Sumner FD - $5300 DK - $4500 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 26.79 DK - 28.42 The Nets dealt with this season's Kyrie antics quickly as he was traded to Dallas yesterday, not long after requesting an exit from Brooklyn. That leaves the Nets short on bodies once again on Monday and it makes sense to go back to Sumner here as he stepped in on Saturday and looked terrific seeing season-highs in minutes(39), shots(19), points(29), and fantasy output(40). This is a slightly tougher matchup and the game has a lower total but we can't pass up the value, especially on DraftKings, given the projected role he is going to play before the recruits from Dallas show up. Fire up Sumner in all formats as a top PTS/$ value. Eric Gordon FD - $5500 DK -...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 2/6/23 We're winding down to the All-Star break, and you can sense that some of these players need a break. We've seen a few scuffles over the last week, and the tension is palpable with the trade deadline right around the corner. That does make things fun from a fan perspective, but it can be frustrating to lose players in DFS due to stupid non-basketball decisions. I've been fortunate to avoid that thus far, but chaos is inevitable in NBA DFS.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Jamal Murray FD - $8300 DK - $8000 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 38.26 DK - 39.64 As someone who has torn their ACL, it's no surprise that it took Murray so long to return to his bubble form. He's looking like Bubble Murray right now though, scoring at least 33 DraftKings points in 11 straight games. He's also got at least 41 DK points in nine of those, generating a 44-point average in that span. That's usually what you see from a $9K player, and it's clear these sites have some price adjustments to do with Murray amid a resurgence. He's also got at least 48 fantasy points in three straight outings and could reach that again versus a Minnesota team that ranks fifth in pace and 20th in total defense. In their matchup two weeks ago, Murray amassed 41 DK points in another masterpiece! D'Angelo Russell FD - $7400 DK - $7200 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 33.83 DK - 35.11 Not enough people are talking about how good Russell has been. The former All-Star has seen a bump in minutes, shot attempts, and usage since Karl-Anthony Towns went down, averaging over 35 DK points per game since the big man got injured. He's been even better over recent weeks, scoring at least 36 fantasy points in eight of his last nine games. D-Lo also dropped a season-high 58 DraftKings points in his most recent outing and could be asked to do everything here with Minnesota possibly missing Kyle Anderson, Jaden McDaniels, Austin Rivers, and Taurean Prince after that scuffle on Friday. It's not like Denver is a daunting matchup either, owning a 25th...

Guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $10200 DK - $10400 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 55.21 DK - 54.38 The price is back in the $10K which lowers the overall PTS/$ ceiling but I am not at all concerned about the floor for cash games considering he checks almost every box tonight. It starts with the home matchup against the Rockets' 28th-ranked defence which is still short two starting guards in Porter and Green. For SGA, he has been rock-solid lately averaging 32.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 2.8 blocks+steals over his last six games leading to an average over 50 fantasy points a game. That is where the system has him pegged tonight and with that, he is one of my core plays in all formats. Jamal Murray FD - $8200 DK - $7900 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 38.02 DK - 39.45 Another player who is checking all the boxes tonight is Jamal Murray who is playing his best basketball of the season currently. Over his last 10 games, he has seen his shot volume increase and is taking over two more shots a game than his season numbers and has taken 20 or more shots in four of his last five games. He has made the most with that volume, as well, with 20 or more points in five straight while averaging 24.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 7.2 assists over that 10-game stretch. He now gets a favourable matchup against the Hawks who rank 19th in defensive efficiency and 10th in pace. Fire up Murray in all formats. Daishen Nix FD - $4200 DK - $3700 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 20.48 DK - 21.85 For value tonight, the system loves going back to Daishen Nix who should get his third straight start with Porter out, Green doubtful, and Tate expected to sit out the second of a back-to-back set here. While Nix has struggled to get his shot down going just 6 for 22 in the past two games, he has hit floor value thanks to his contributions in the rebound(12) and assist(8) departments. The price on DraftKings has actually dropped going into tonight's matchup and considering he should easily get another 30+ minutes and double-digit shots, Nix is in play for me in all formats. Small Forward Kenyon Martin Jr....

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard LaMelo Ball FD - $9100 DK - $9700Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 50.64 DK - 55.3 Two of the four worst defenses square off in this game with Pistons-Hornets coming in with a 240 over/ under. We are unlikely to get much in the way of ball-stopping here and LaMelo Ball is almost certainly going to be one of the highest-owned plays on the slate. The minutes have been 36 or higher over the last week or so and he’s a triple-double threat in every game. Over the last four he’s averaging 20 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists. Plus he’ll get after it with some steals as well. This is a pretty easy play. Davion Mitchell FD - $3800 DK - $3000Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 21.37 DK - 23.16 Malik Monk FD - $5300 DK - $4800Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 30.92 DK - 33.93 De’Arron Fox is out for the Kings on Friday when they play the Pacers and this should be a spot to roster some guys in his absence. Davion Mitchell should get the start though it could be Malik Monk who we see with even more opportunity. The latter has a 29.8 usage rate with Fox off the court this season, easily the highest on the team and even coming off the bench has seen bigger minutes with this group. The price is low enough on both sites to take the moderate risk even if he isn’t running with the starter. Meanwhile, Mitchell is coming at the stone minimum on DraftKings and should be at least starting. That’s worth it from a punt play perspective. The fantasy elements of his game aren’t overwhelming so there’s at least some risk, but he’s cheap and should see a dramatic increase in minutes here. T.J. McConnell FD - $6000 DK - $6900Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 37.3 DK - 39.48 It looks like Tyrese Haliburton is going to sit out on the second half of the back-to-back after returning from injury so that should slot TJ McConnell back into the starting lineup. Though it tailed off a bit after a...
