Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Jordan Clarkson FD - $6600 DK - $7100Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 36.14 DK - 40.51 Collin Sexton FD - $5100 DK - $5500Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 31.11 DK - 33.79 The Jazz are likely to be popular plays on this slate going up against the Pacers at home. The game has the highest implied total on the schedule at 238.5 and that’s about five points higher than the next-closest game. While it was assumed Utah would fully be in the tank for this season, that’s been anything but the case and they are actually 13-11 with a +1.6 point differential. A big reason has been Clarkson who is averaging career highs in points (19.5 per game) and assists (4.9). Much of it has simply been from the minutes boost with starting, but we’ll take it. He’s coming at fair prices on both sites. And then there is Collin Sexton who has been getting the starts with Mike Conley out. And that’s going to be the case again in this game. His minutes ceiling isn’t as high as Clarkson’s in the backcourt, but he should be good for at least 30 in this one. He’s taken double-digit shots in each of the last three games and scored 20 or more in two of them. He’s kind of score or bust from a fantasy perspective but the price on both sites is totally fair in the lower-$5K range. Cameron Payne FD - $6000 DK - $6400Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 32.44 DK - 35.31 It hasn’t looked particularly good for Payne over the last few games even though he’s still starting for the injured Chris Paul. He hasn’t been getting up quite as many shots as before and the assists numbers have dropped as well. But on Friday he gets the Rockets who are the third-worst defense in the league while running a top-10 pace. I do think there is still value on Payne here with such a good matchup and the price stagnating in the $6K range. Small Forward Lauri Markkanen FD - $7500 DK - $7900Opponent - INDProj Pts...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 11/30/22 We could be in for a wild slate here. We have 26 of the 30 NBA teams taking the floor, leaving us with one of the largest player pools of the season. With large player pools come lengthy injury reports. We have dozens of big-name players missing out today, and more will be coming. With that in mind, let's kick things off with the point guards.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Jamal Murray FD - $7100 DK - $7200 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 36.44 DK - 37.33 Murray got off to a slow start in his return from ACL surgery, but he's been rolling recently. The Nuggets point guard has at least 33 DraftKings points in 10 of his last 11 games, scoring 45 fantasy points in three of his last four. That's the bubble Murray we saw a few years ago, and he was approaching a five-figure price tag when he played like that in Orlando. One of those 45-point gems came against the Rockets, which is no surprise since they rank 24th in points allowed and 28th in defensive efficiency while surrendering the most fantasy points to opposing PGs. He also did that damage in just 25 minutes in that blowout, and it'd be scary to see the line he could post in his usual 35 minutes. De'Anthony Melton FD - $6200 DK - $7600 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 34.94 DK - 34.41 Um, why did these DFS sites drop Melton's price? It has to be because of the return of Joel Embiid, but that doesn't really matter. The Sixers are still missing Tyrese Maxey and James Harden, leaving Melton with as many backcourt minutes as he can handle. The stat-stuffer has scored at least 23 DK points in 13 of his last 15 games, generating a 32-point average in that span. That's all you can ask for from a player in this price range, and it should continue with Harden and Maxey's monster usage sitting on the sidelines. He's also flashed a 40-point upside four times over the last three weeks, and he can do that anytime with his elite per-minute averages. Tyrese Haliburton (FD $9600...

Luka Doncic against the Warriors leads the DraftKings and FanDuel NBA Picks - Tuesday, November 29, 2022 Head on over for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, NFL optimal lineups, and our NHL Optimizer. Plus our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with NBA or NFL? 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 Luka Doncic FD - $12000 DK - $12600Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 59.7 DK - 64.03 On a short slate, it won’t be easy to fit Luka Doncic’s salary into lineups simply because we might not find enough savings. But he’s a tough fade here all things considered. For a guy who was already a superstar and MVP candidate, Doncic has taken it to even another level, averaging 33 points per game to go with his 8.7 rebounds, and 8.4 assists. This game against the Warriors has the highest total (227.5) of the three and should be an up-and-down affair. It’s easier to fit Doncic on FanDuel where the price is a little lower, but DraftKings will be a tough pull unless a true punt comes into play, which might not be the case. Jalen Brunson FD - $8600 DK - $7700Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 41.92 DK - 44.52 The Knicks get the best matchup of the slate against the Detroit Pistons who rank 29th in defensive efficiency on the season. This game has a 225 over/ under with the Knicks as -4 favorites. Brunson has stepped it up of late, averaging 30.8 points and 6.8 assists over the last four games. One of those was an overtime game, but he’s taking more than 20 shots per game in that stretch. The Knicks are desperate for a win here after losing three of their last four. I think he plays a lot of minutes as long as the game stays close. Reggie Jackson FD - $5500 DK - $5300Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 28.47 DK - 32.05 With Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and now John Wall out for this game, it sure seems like Reggie Jackson should be in line for major minutes. After all, the Clippers are way down on scorers and guys who can create their own shots. But Jackson’s minutes and production have been a bit variable this season, which is one of the reasons his price remains in the lower middle tier. But I do think this is the prime spot for him to...

Guards Devin Booker FD - $9200 DK - $9600 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 44.95 DK - 46.22 There is a solid group of guards at the top of the salary tonight but it's Booker who stands out the most as he checks almost every single box. It starts with the matchup as this game is expected to stay close(SAC -1), has one of the highest totals on the slate, and Booker faces a Kings team that is 23rd in defensive efficiency and 4th in pace. For Booker, he has been very consistent all season averaging around 5x at these prices and has been slightly better with Chris Paul out getting a little more usage and averaging around 3-4 fantasy points more per game. All things considered here, Booker is my top overall guard on this slate. Ben Simmons FD - $7300 DK - $7100 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 38.94 DK - 40.91 The positional eligibility is all over the place at the moment between the two sites but I list Simmons here at his natural position. After being pretty much unplayable earlier in the season, Simmons appears to have returned to fantasy relevance lately. He isn't going to get much volume with Durant and Irving on the floor but is an elite defender and distributor and over his last six games is averaging 14.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 2.8 blocks+steals, and tallied 32 or more DK points in each of those games. The Nets are in a great spot here against a Magic team that has the 3rd worst defensive efficiency and while Simmons' price is on the rise, I will still have exposure in all formats. Jose Alvarado FD - $4700 DK - $4300 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 30.24 DK - 30.11 It isn't too hard to find value on this slate and for that, we start with a short-handed Pelicans team that is still without CJ McCollum and is likely without Brandon Ingram tonight, as well. That leaves a lot of minutes and usage to go around and one player who likely picks up a ton of that work is Jose Alvarado. He has been less than impressive in his first two starts picking up just 13 total shots but did contribute nine assists against the Spurs and had...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 11/27/22 The injuries have run rampant through the NBA this season. It looks like half the league is on the injury report right now, and you have to work extra hard to figure out these rotations this season. We surely have more absences happening here, with Philly's shorthanded roster taking the floor. The good news is that we only have one team in the second half of a back-to-back set, which should help us avoid too much resting. We'll also offer up all value plays below $10K because you know that studs like Luka Doncic and Giannis Antetokounmpo are the best plays on the board. These recommendations should allow you to squeeze in those studs, which is the most important thing on a slate like this. With that in mind, let's kick things off with the point guards.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Shake Milton FD - $7000 DK - $6600 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 35.79 DK - 37.08 We've always loved Milton's game, and it's nice to see him get a starting job with Tyrese Maxey and James Harden both going down. That's forced Milton into four straight starts at point guard, scoring at least 29 DraftKings points in five consecutive games. Shake is also scoring over 40 DK points per game in that span and is loving this newfound 40-minute role. Any player who's a primary ball-handler and playing 40 minutes should never be this cheap, especially since he dropped 56 fantasy points on this Orlando defense just a few nights ago. That's far from surprising, with the Magic owning a 27th OPRK against opposing guards. Reggie Jackson FD - $5500 DK - $5200 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 28.79 DK - 30.48 Jackson got off to a rough start this season, but he's been cruising recently. Like Milton, Jackson has been stepping up with the Clippers two best players sidelined. That happens to be Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, leaving Jackson with 35 minutes, 15-20 shots, and a 25 percent usage rate. That's the role we saw from Jackson when he was a $7,000 player last season, and he's been playing at that level for two weeks now....

Guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $10600 DK - $10600 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 54.43 DK - 53.58 Kevin Porter Jr. FD - $8000 DK - $8400 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 42.19 DK - 43.51 Let's start with the game that checks all the boxes for us tonight. Both the Thunder and Rockets rank Top 10 in pace while ranking outside the Top 20 in defensive efficiency and we will start at guard as both also rank 28th(HOU) and 23rd(OKC) in fantasy points given up to the position. My favourite and one of the most consistent fantasy players in the league is SGA who himself checks all the boxes. He has taken 20 or more shots in five of his last six games and has the sixth-highest usage rate in the league but comes with a price the next tier down. In this matchup, SGA is my top pay-up on this slate. On the other side of the ball, we have Kevin Porter who has a much larger gap between his floor and ceiling adding some risk but considering the terrific matchup I described above, I am on board in all formats. The price is on the rise but for good reason, as he is coming off back-to-back games with 50+ DraftKings points aided by some awesome secondary scoring adding 16 rebounds, 14 assists, and seven blocks+steals in those two games. Jordan Clarkson FD - $7000 DK - $7400 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 32.58 DK - 34.76 Clarkson has been very consistent all season with his new role as a starter and is now getting even more of an opportunity to shine with Miek Conley remaining out of the lineup on Saturday. In the three games without Conley so far, Clarkson has played 35+ minutes in each and is shooting 49% from the field on 18 shots per game, and is averaging just shy of 40 fantasy points per game. He draws a tough matchup against the Suns here but given the price, opportunity, and size of this slate, I will have exposure to Clarkson in all formats. Also Consider:  Jalen Green(HOU) as another Rocket's guard in a great spot tonight or Collin Sexton(UTA) as a value option if he starts in place of Mike Conley again Small Forward Lonnie Walker IV FD...
