Guards Ja Morant FD - $10700 DK - $10600 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 51.77 DK - 55.83 Dillon Brooks FD - $6300 DK - $6600 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 32.94 DK - 35.9 The Grizzlies are in a great spot tonight against a struggling Thunder team that has dropped five straight, ranks 19th in defensive efficiency, and runs at a Top 5 pace. When looking at superstar pay-ups on this slate, there are only two players(Giannis/Luka) projected higher in our system than Ja Morant and both are significantly more expensive. While the overall numbers aren't quite in line with those other two, they sure have been close in the short term as Morant has been on a team since early November. It starts with volume as he has taken 20 or more shots in 13 of his last 15 games and delivered 40 or more DraftKings points in each of those games while averaging 26.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 8.4 assists. In this matchup coming in that second tier of pricing, Morant is my favorite guard and one of my top overall plays on this slate. Staying in the same game, we can't ignore the solid production we have been getting from Dillon Brooks over the last month with Desmond Bane out of the lineup. In those 15 games, he is averaging over three more shots a game and nearly seven more fantasy points per game. He hasn't been on our radar as much lately with the pricing peaking on both sites but the good news is that it's trending back down and at the right time as the Griz get a terrific matchup on Saturday. There is flashes of huge upside here at times but I much prefer Brooks in cash games on both sites tonight. CJ McCollum FD - $7800 DK - $7400 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 36.14 DK - 39.28 We are not usually out to target matchups between two teams with Top 10 defence's but considering this game has the second-highest total on this smaller five-game slate, I am on board. McCollum battled an illness in late November and upon returning took some easing back into game shape but seems to be back in form. He has taken an average of 20.5 shots over his last four games,...
Daily Fantasy NFL Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 15 Saturday Slate
Daily Fantasy NFL Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings - Week 15 Saturday Slate Welcome back football fans. Week 15 in the NFL brings us a three-game slate on Saturday and we got you covered with our top plays at each position for DraftKings and FanDuel.

Quarterbacks Josh Allen FD 9000 DK 8300 Opponent MIA Proj Points FD - 23.59 DK - 23.59 This slate is a little weak at quarterback on Saturday which has us spending right up for Josh Allen who is the class of the position. He has been a little more up and down in the second half of the season but we really like here is the elite floor he provides as a mobile quarterback. Heis fourth in rushing attempts per game(7.6) among quarterbacks and I would bet on the over this week with the expected weather approaching Buffalo. He comes in with eight or more rush attempts in three straight with 10 rush attempts and at least 47 rushing yards and a touchdown in two of those. He also faces a Dolphins defence that has allowed the 2nd most rushing yards and the 4th most fantasy points to quarterbacks. Allen is our top quarterback and a building block in all formats. Matt Ryan FD 6900 DK 5200 Opponent MIN Proj Points FD - 15.89 DK - 15.89 Things get really dicey after Allen so I am going to defer not only to the cheapest quarterback on the board but also to the one with the best matchup. Ryan has been a boom-or-bust option this season but the good news is that he knows how to attack bad defences which has led to him tallying 20 or more fantasy points four times. That upside is most definitely there again this week as he goes up against a Vikings defence that has given up 400+ total yards in five straight games including 300+ yard passing in each of those. He also has a nice core of Pittman, Campbell, and Pierce to throw to and all things considered, is my top value QB on this slate. Running Backs Jonathan Taylor FD 9000 DK 7200 Opponent MIN Proj Points FD - 19.54 DK - 20.82 How many Colts is too many? That is the question most are asking themselves after watching the Vikings give up 400+ total yards for the 5th straight week. They are are dream matchup at every position as one of just four teams to rank 19th or...
DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Wednesday, 12/14
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 12/14/22 That Lakers-Celtics game was spectacular on Tuesday night. Seeing games like those always has me excited to write these articles because it reminds you how special this sport can be. Seeing the best athletes in the world playing my favorite sport is a fantastic feeling, and I'm sure you guys feel the same way if you're reading this! We have another 10 games here, so let's get started with the point guards!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard D'Angelo Russell FD - $7300 DK - $7600 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 40.09 DK - 41.16 Russell has been incredible since Karl-Anthony Towns went down, and it's hard to understand why he's not above $8K on both sites. The former All-Star has scored at least 33 DraftKings points in 10 straight games while flirting with a 40-point average in that span. That's the stud we saw in his Brooklyn days, but it's no surprise since he's seeing a massive boost in usage, minutes, and shot attempts in the absence of KAT. Facing the Clippers used to be concerning, but Russell has at least 34 DraftKings points in five of his last six matchups with Los Angeles. Jordan Goodwin FD - $5200 DK - $5600 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 34.88 DK - 33.63 Washington has been obliterated by injuries once again, but it's made Goodwin a fantasy-relevant option. Bradley Beal, Monte Morris, Delon Wright, and Kristaps Porzingis are all nicked up right now, forcing JG into a 35-minute role as the starting point guard. Over his last three games, Goodwin is generating a 37-point average across 36 minutes a night. That's the production you usually see from a $7K player, and it's right on par with our projections. Denver is far from a devastating matchup, with the Nuggets ranked 27th in defensive efficiency ratings this season. Jordan Poole (FD $6700 DK $7800) is averaging nearly 40 fantasy points per game as a starter this season and could see an expanded role if some of these starters are rested in the second half of a back-to-back set. Shooting Guard Tyler Herro FD - $7700 DK - $8100 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 38.28 DK - 40.01 We would...
DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Monday 12/12

Plus our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Guards Damian Lillard FD - $9700 DK - $10200 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 44.76 DK - 47.33 The price has reached a point where we have to pick our spots with Lillard, which is most definitely one of them. These teams meet for the second time in three nights after hitting the over on Saturday with a handful of players providing excellent PTS/$ value. For Lillard, he put up 22 shot including 11 from behind the arc and ended up with 50+ fantasy points for the second straight game. The Timberwolves are only slightly below average defensively(18th) but run fast(3rd in pace) and have given up the second-most fantasy points to the guard position. This is a great spot for Lillard and he is my top guard in all formats. Kyrie Irving FD - $8700 DK - $8700 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 42.54 DK - 45.54 The Nets seemed to have put their drama-filled and poor start behind them and their recent success has in large part been thanks to their superstars. Kyrie has been playing some of his best basketball of the season recently shooting over 55% on 45 shots over the last two games while dropping 33 points in each along with 16 rebounds and 12 assists which has also led to 50+ fantasy-point performances in both. He and the Nets now face a Wizards team that is short Bradley Beal and possibly Monte Morris and has really struggled lately losing nine of their last 10. At these sub $9K prices, Kyrie is in play for me in all formats tonight. Caris LeVert FD - $5500 DK - $5000 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 34.1 DK - 37.53 This one is a bit speculative as we will be waiting on the Donovan Mitchell news to make the final decision but if he misses his third straight game, Levert is once again a top PTS/$ play in our system. He started each of the last two games and saw a huge usage boost taking 21 and 22 shots and not only dropped 22 points in each but also added 10 rebounds and 10 assists, as well. If starting, he is massively underpriced on both sites and a lock in all formats. If Mitchell does make his return, I will consider him with...
DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Sunday, 12/11
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 12/11/22 It's been a strange week of basketball. If you played that Saturday slate, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Teams like Brooklyn and Utah rested almost every player in the rotation, and both of those clubs played competitive outings. There's always a ton of value in circumstances like that, but it's impossible to know that until hours before tip. That's why it's up to you guys to zone in on injury reports because things change quickly in this racket. That's why these articles are a baseline for you and why they should be a building block in your extensive research that needs to be done before submitting lineups!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Trae Young FD - $9700 DK - $10400 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 55.51 DK - 59.71 Young has had a "down" year by his standards, but he's still averaging 28 points and 10 assists per game. That's why he's a perennial All-Star and why he's one of the best options with Dejounte Murray sidelined. That's forcing Young into a monster role, posting a 42 percent usage rate with Murray off the floor. That would be the highest rate in the NBA, which is scary since he's averaging 1.6 DK points per minute in those circumstances. That would equate to 65 DraftKings points if he plays 40 minutes, which is incredible since Trae tallied 65 fantasy points in his most recent matchup with the Bulls. Davion Mitchell FD - $4000 DK - $3800 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 25.26 DK - 25.66 If De'Aaron Fox misses this game, Mitchell is the best value play on the board. It's rare to find a starting point guard at $4,000, especially one who's always been productive when given the opportunity. Davion has started in 21 games at point guard since the start of last season, averaging 33 fantasy points per game across 37 minutes a night. You usually see production like that from a $7K player, and it's hard to understand why Mitchell remains so cheap. Facing the Knicks is the best part of this, though, with New York owning a 27th OPRK against opposing point guards this season. If Fox is out,...
Daily Fantasy NFL GPP Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 14
Daily Fantasy NFL GPP Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Week 14 Welcome back football fans. Week 14 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 or 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! Game Stack - Vikings @ Lions Jared Goff FD 7100 DK 5600 Opponent MIN Proj Points FD - 19.16 DK - 19.16 Amon-ra St. Brown FD 8600 DK 7800 Opponent MIN Proj Points FD - 21.19 DK - 26.19 T.J. Hockenson FD 6500 DK 5100 Opponent DET Proj Points FD - 10.94 DK - 13.65 Hard not to start with a game that currently sits with the second-highest total(53.5) of the entire season as Vegas is clearly expecting a track meet and it makes sense as this is one of two games that features two teams ranked Top 10 in pace. I will have several different core builds in this game but a majority of them will center around the passing game. At quarterback, it starts with Jared Goff who has been more consistent lately and comes cheaper than Cousins on both sites. He is also coming off one of his best games of the season throwing for 340 yards and two touchdowns in a blowout win against the Jags. He now gets a great matchup against a Vikings defense that has given up 300+ yards passing in four straight weeks, ranks 24th in DVOA against the pass, and 26th in fantasy points against quarterbacks. I love pairing him with his #1 option in Amon-Ra St. Brown who is back to elite status with eight or more targets in six straight games(average 10) while catching 80% of them for 555 yards and he has also scored three touchdowns in his last two games. He does move around the field quite a bit pre-snap, but has run over 50% of his routes in the slot and gets a great matchup against the Vikings who have not only allowed the 3rd most fantasy points to wideouts but have also allowed the 7th most receiving yards in the slot. We could double-stack this one in hopes of Detroit trailing in the second half but the waters are muddied a bit with Jameson Williams now in the mix. In the lineups where I double stack, I lean towards D.J. Chark who scored a...
