Daily Fantasy DraftKings and FanDuel NBA Picks – Wednesday, January 4, 2023
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 1/4/23 This is going to be a wild slate. We have 12 games in total and one of the most massive player pools all year. The injury report is also ridiculous, and we should see some big lines once again. We've had a handful of 50-point games over the last week, and it's becoming evident that these absurd stat lines are going to continue for the remainder of the season. I wasn't so sure we'd ever see a 100-point game ever again, but I'm starting to change my tune with the way people can score nowadays. It surely won't happen here, but we should see some big games from some undervalued players.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard CJ McCollum FD - $8600 DK - $8200 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 40.32 DK - 41.43 McCollum is my favorite play on the board. It looks like New Orleans will be without Brandon Ingram (toe) and Zion Williamson (hamstring) for this game, leaving McCollum to do everything. That means he should play 35-40 minutes, take 20-25 shots, and flirt with a 40 percent usage rate. He's already had a few opportunities to run the show without those stars this season, averaging 25.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.3 blocks in the last three games without Zion and BI. That alone makes him an amazing value below $9K, but he also faces a Rockets team that's allowing the most fantasy points to opposing guards this season. Markelle Fultz FD - $6800 DK - $6600 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 42.24 DK - 42.06 It's been a long road for Fultz to get to this point, but the 2017 number-one pick is healthy for the first time in his career. He's more than just healthy, he is also playing the best basketball of his career right now. The former Philly guard has scored at least 27 DraftKings points in eight of his last nine games, generating a 35-point average in that span. His ability to stuff the stat sheet is what makes him such a reliable option, struggling with his shot but providing a multitude of statistics. That means he has an even...

The Course Plantation Course Par 73 - 7,596 Yards Greens - Bermuda **Click the image above to see a hole-by-hole breakdown from PGATour.com** Previous Five Winners 2022 - Cameron Smith(-34) 2021 - Harris English(-25) 2020 - Justin Thomas(-14) 2019 - Xander Schauffele(-23) 2018 - Dustin Johnson(-24) After the longest break of the year, the PGA Tour is back for 2023. Things start with a bit of a vacation event as all the winners from 2022 and those who qualified for the Tour Championship will tee it up at the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Kapalua, Hawaii. The field of 39 players(Rory the only WD) will all play four rounds of golf as this is a no-cut event. While the event name has changed several times, the Plantation Course has hosted the previous year's champions since 1999 and the course has played as one of the easiest on tour with its wide fairways and very large greens. The length of the course definitely affects my model this week as I will be looking at guys who are long off the tee. I will combine that with golfers who have been strong with their irons during the fall season and for those who are a little shorter off the tee, I will be looking at a strong long iron game in their profile. I say this, as it is hard to eliminate anyone from your multi-entry player pool this week with the quality of the field and fact it's a no-cut event. The biggest factor in the winning score and reason for the variance over the years is the weather. Last year it was relatively calm throughout which led to the massive -34 winning score. Looking at the early forecast below, it appears we could see similar weather and another winning score in the mid -20's to low -30's....
DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Sunday, 1/1
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 1/1/23 Welcome to 2023! It's hard to believe 2023 is even a real thing, but you've made it! We have just three games in the first slate of the year, with all of them starting at 8ET. Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo are obvious plays, so we're not even going to write those superstars up. We want to help you build lineups, and the easiest way to do that is to find the players to piece with those superstars. Without further ado, let's start with the next best pay-up option on the board! Head on over for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, our MLB Optimizer, and NHL Projections as well. 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? Read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy, and more. We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Ja Morant FD - $10500 DK - $9900 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 48.09 DK - 49.74 You have to pay a hefty price tag to afford Antetokounmpo and Jokic, but Morant is just as good of a value at $2,000 cheaper. The feisty point guard has scored at least 42 DraftKings points in 20 of his last 22 games. The only outliers were a blowout and an ejection, with Ja generating a 48-point average in that stretch. This is simply one of the best players in the NBA, and he should go nuts against the Kings. Sacramento sits 24th in points allowed and 25th in defensive efficiency. In their most recent matchup, Morant dropped 54 DraftKings points in another pristine performance. De'Aaron Fox FD - $8800 DK - $8600 Opponent - MEM Proj Pts FD - 40.4 DK - 41.07 This feels like one of those games where Fox and Morant will go at it all night. Neither of these guys are known for their defensive game, and they should thrive against one another. Fox has at least 32 DK points in eight straight games, scoring at least 43 DraftKings points in six of those. We've seen a similar floor all year, with Fox scoring at least 29 fantasy points in all but three games this year. The speedster has sliced this Grizzlies defense in their two matchups this season, averaging 51 fantasy points per game, scoring 61 DK points in their most recent meeting. Monte Morris (FD $5600 DK $4900) should continue to see increased touches in the absence of Bradley Beal. Shooting Guard Desmond Bane FD...
DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Saturday 12/31

Plus our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Guards Luka Doncic FD - $12400 DK - $12100 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 63.5 DK - 67.7 Are you not entertained? Luka is on an all-time run right now but for some reason has not seen his price spike back up to the $13K level which has him as the center of attention once again on Saturday. He comes in with back-to-back triple-double performances, has dropped 80 or more DraftKings points, and is averaging 60.8 FD/64.4 DK points per game since the start of December. I look for this all-time run to continue in a matchup against the Spurs who rank dead last in defence and top 10 in pace. Fire up Luka in all formats. LaMelo Ball FD - $9300 DK - $10000 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 46.29 DK - 51.33 Building around Luka can be a challenge if not enough value pops up by lock so if you happen to pivot to a more balanced build, you cannot go wrong with Ball. Since returning from injury in mid-December(nine games), he has been on another level starting with the usage as he is taking over 21 shots a game and has delivered in a big way averaging 25.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 7.9 assists per game. In that time he has tallied at least 40 DraftKings points in all nine games while topping 50 in five of his last six. Those are numbers we expect from the superstars of the game and Ball has become just that and is in play in all formats against a Nets team that struggles defending guards. Immanuel Quickley FD - $6700 DK - $5700 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 36.53 DK - 39.05 Jalen Brunson is in danger of missing a third straight game on Saturday and with RJ Barrett already ruled out, there is Knicks value once again. With Brunson out at the guard position, Quickley is the one who has taken the reigns of the offence and has gotten everything he can handle. He has played 51 and 43 minutes the last two games while taking a whopping 48 shots including 22 from beyond the arc. The shooting improved last game seeing him put up a season-high 36 points to go along with seven rebounds and seven assists for a near-60 fantasy point performance....
Daily Fantasy NFL GPP Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 17
Daily Fantasy NFL GPP Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Week 17 Welcome back football fans. Week 17 in the NFL is here and DFSR has you covered. Earlier in the week, we look at our top cash game picks and now it's time to look at some stacks that help us get to the top of our GPP contests. Let's get started. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NFL and MLB optimizers and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Lions Passing Game Jared Goff FD 7400 DK 5600 Opponent CHI Proj Points FD - 20.28 DK - 20.28 Amon-Ra St. Brown FD 8200 DK 7800 Opponent CHI Proj Points FD - 20.5 DK - 25.31 DJ Chark FD 6000 DK 4300 Opponent CHI Proj Points FD - 8.13 DK - 9.81 There is no avoiding the chalk with this stack as it the game has the highest total(51.5) on the slate and looking at the Lions' home games in 2022, seven of eight have hit 53 or more and exceeded 60 three times. In these teams' first meeting in Chicago, they combined for 61 points. Everything points to a shootout so let's get as much exposure as possible across all formats. The stack starts with Jared Goff as a value option as he is somehow outside the Top 10 in QB pricing on DraftKings this week. He has arguably been the best fantasy QB in football lately throwing for 300 or more yards in three of his last five games while averaging 23 DraftKings points per game during that stretch. You can most definitely double-stack here as both top receivers have been doing damage lately, as well. It starts with Amon-Ra St. Brown who has been a target monster collecting eight or more in nine straight with double-digits in six of those games. While he has only tallied three touchdowns in those games, he has averaged 86 receiving yards and 19.5 DK/14.7 FD points per game. DJ Chark Jr. has also stepped up and been a big contributor lately, as well, with 90 or more receiving yards in three of his last four games. Against a Bears defence that is dead last in overall defensive efficiency and 29th in DVOA against the pass, this is my core stack in week 17. Game Stack - Vikings @ Packers Dalvin Cook FD 8300 DK 7000 Opponent GB Proj Points FD - 17.46 DK - 18.84 Aaron Rodgers FD 7100 DK 6000 Opponent MIN Proj Points FD - 19.66 DK - 19.66 Allen Lazard FD 6200 DK 5400 Opponent MIN Proj...
DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Thursday 12/29

Guards Luka Doncic FD - $12400 DK - $12000 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 61.79 DK - 65.59 Hard not to concentrate on Luka tonight coming off a game for the ages where he became the only player in history to drop a 60-point triple-double. While I am not expecting another 100-point fantasy performance, it seems odd that the price never budged on DraftKings and is still $1000 lower than his season-high of $13K. Luka provides an elite floor with his contributions across the board with access to a huge ceiling, especially against a Rockets team that is 28th in defensive efficiency and 30th in fantasy points to guards. More than enough value should pop up to make it easier to build around Luka in all formats. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $10800 DK - $10100 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 53.22 DK - 54.89 In terms of cash game lineup construction, it is going to be much more optimal to start your lineup and build around SGA who seemingly checks all the boxes tonight. First of all, while he doesn't have anywhere near the same ceiling as Luka, the floor has been very comparable this season. Over 31 games played, he has provided 50 or more DraftKings points 18 times while posting under 40 points just four times. He contributes across the board with averages of 31.5 points, 5.8 assists, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks+steals. We should see that floor once again in a projected high-pace game against a Hornets team that is 27th in defensive efficiency and 10th in pace. Fire up SGA in all formats Thursday. Immanuel Quickley FD - $6000 DK - $5000 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 34.56 DK - 37.28 We will have to keep an eye on the Jalen Brunson injury but it appears he could miss a second straight game opening up some value for the Knicks' backcourt. It was Quickley who benefited last game in an overtime marathon against the Mavericks. He played an insane 51 minutes and picked up a season-high 15 assists and 42 DraftKings points. While that is not very sustainable, neither is the terrible shooting he displayed making just 5 of 21 shots(24%) and just 1 for 10 from beyond the arc. Either way, if he starts, I love the matchup against a...
