Guards Kevin Huerter FD - $6200 DK - $5400 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 26.78 DK - 29.22 Huerter returned from a three-game absence last night and showed no signs of rust, especially from beyond the arc where he dropped 6 of 12 and ended up with 29 points while also adding nine rebounds and five assists for a season-high 54 fantasy points. While I am not expecting another ceiling game tonight, the upside and opportunity are there as Fox left the game in the third quarter last night and is questionable to doubtful on Saturday. If that's the case, Huerter quickly becomes one of our top PTS/$ value plays, especially on DraftKings in the mid $5K range. Tyrese Maxey FD - $7400 DK - $7300 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 37.39 DK - 40.64 De'Anthony Melton FD - $6500 DK - $5800 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 30.07 DK - 31.61 The 76ers are also on a back-to-back tonight and like the Kings, could also be without their point guard, James Harden, who has missed two straight games. In his absence, there has been some PTS/$ value to go around starting with Tyrese Maxey who has seen 16 or more shots in four straight games, going back to when Harden was healthy, and has delivered shooting 50% from the field and averaging over 40 fantasy points a game. For Melton, he went through a bit of a rough patch after the break but has heated back up recently dropping 40 or more fantasy points in three of his last four games thanks to a very balanced attack across multiple fantasy categories. We will have to watch the news closely but if Harden is out, both 76ers' guards are in play once again tonight. Small Forward Kawhi Leonard FD - $10300 DK - $10100 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 50.36 DK - 52.72 I mentioned on Thursday that Kawhi would receive a big boost with no Paul George and he delivered a near-flawless game dropping 13 fo 15 from the field for 32 points while adding six rebounds, six assists, and four steals for nearly a 60 fantasy point effort. Even with PG13 in the lineup, Kawhi has been very consistent since the break shooting 57% on 18 shots a game while averaging...

DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Thursday 3/23

Guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $10600 DK - $9600 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 50.92 DK - 52.18 We get a small four-game slate on Thursday and surprisingly there are no players over $10K on DraftKings which does lead to a more balanced lineup build. I am still scratching my head as to why SGA remains in the $9K range as he has been fantastic since the break and while dealing injuries, as well. Over his last eight games, he is averaging 35 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 4.3 assists for over 51 fantasy points a game. It's a tougher matchup on paper as the Clippers are 12th in defensive efficiency but they are missing Paul George and the current total(233) is the highest on the slate so I am not worried at all. I will have exposure to SGA in all formats. Jalen Brunson FD - $9000 DK - $7800 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 38.43 DK - 41.33 Speaking of coming in at a discount, at least on DraftKings, Jalen Brunson continues to run a sub $8K price tag for the third straight game. It's definitely not due to efficiency as he is shooting 56% from the field on 34 shots over the last two games while playing 37 minutes in both. In the past, we might have called him a highly volatile, shooting-dependant guard but he has seen his assist rate(6.2 per game) sky-rocket in 2023 aiding his "safety" and floor and with his current price on DraftKings, is in play in all formats. Cole Anthony FD - $6200 DK - $5600 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 27.65 DK - 30.09 While it has been Gary Harris and Markelle Fultz in the starting lineup over the last three games since Jalen Suggs went down with a concussion, it has been Cole Anthony providing the biggest value from a fantasy perspective. Nothing has really changed in terms of minutes but he has seen an uptick in usage taking 14 or more shots in those three games while tallying 33 fantasy points in each. Even with Suggs in the lineup, his form trending as he had provided 27 or more fantasy points in the three games prior. On this smaller slate where value is hard to come by, I will have a ton of exposure...

Daily Fantasy DraftKings and FanDuel NBA Picks – Wednesday, March 22, 2023

Posted by on Mar 22, 2023 in Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineups, Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks, DraftKings NBA Picks, FanDuel NBA Picks, featured |

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 3/23/23 Man, this time of the year is wild. The San Antonio Spurs are causing mayhem on every slate, and we have them again here. There's undoubtedly going to be some value from that team, but we have no clue who's even going to suit up! That's just the nature of some of these tanking teams, and it's something we'll have to deal with for the final three weeks. We still have some players in great spots, though, so let's kick things off with one of the best scorers of all time. 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!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $10300 DK - $10500 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 51.2 DK - 53.65 We're only a few games away from Lillard getting shut down, but he's going to keep balling as long as Portland is alive in the playoff hunt. Despite losing six straight games, Dame is the leading scorer over the last month. He's got at least 42 DraftKings points in 31 straight games, averaging 36.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 7.3 assists per game in that span. That's hard to overlook, but it makes Dame impossible to avoid since Portland is expected to be without Jerami Grant and Anfernee Simons. That means Dame could be looking at 40 minutes, 30 shots, and a 40 percent usage rate against a 24th-ranked Utah defense. If he gets that sort of role, Lillard has to be one of the favorites for the high score on this slate! When he played the Jazz back on January 25, Dame dropped 89 DraftKings points in an absolute masterpiece. T.J. McConnell FD - $6300 DK - $5900 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 29.32 DK - 29.41 I'll always have a soft spot for McConnell because he was a minimum-priced stud in my largest GPP cash ever, and he's always played well when given the playing time and opportunity. That's what we have right now because TJ is locked into a 25-minute ball-handling role with Tyrese Haliburton injured. That's allowed McConnell to score at least 28 DK points in five straight fixtures while generating a 38-point average when he's played at least 24 minutes this season. His stat-stuffing...

DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Monday 3/20

Plus our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Guards Stephen Curry FD - $10000 DK - $9800 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 52.26 DK - 57.57 The top tier at the guard position is very interesting in that Luka and Kyrie are both questionable for Dallas, Haliburton and Morant are out for their respective teams, and James Harden gets a much tougher matchup against a Top 5 defence. That makes the choice pretty easy at this point even with the inconsistencies Steph has shown since returning from missing nearly a month. I am not too concerned, however, as the usage(22 shots a game) and accuracy(52% from the field) remain and he has averaged 49 fantasy points over those eight games. I like the floor and ceiling in this matchup tonight against the Rockets' 29th-ranked defence and will have exposure to Steph in all formats. Jalen Brunson FD - $8800 DK - $7500 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 33.22 DK - 33.38 Brunson missed some time with a foot injury recently but returned to the floor Saturday night and assumed his regular high-usage role(20 shots) while playing 32 minutes in the win. While the price has gone back up on FanDuel, it has actually dropped $600 on DraftKings and that is where I am most interested as it's his lowest price since the Christmas season. During that 28-game stretch, Brunson has displayed a consistent floor tallying 30 or fantasy points in 25 of 28 games, 40+ in 18 of those and he also averaged 43.7 during that time. At this price, I will be buying low on DraftKings in all formats tonight. Ochai Agbaji FD - $4300 DK - $3800 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 18.91 DK - 21.34 The former Kansas Jayhawk was drafted 14th overall by the Cavs last season and was a part of the trade that sent Donovan Mitchell to Cleveland. He has been pretty much irrelevant all season but has slowly seen his role increase lately and makes for a decent punt play who is projected to start in a game with a 239 total. There have been mixed results since he entered the starting lineup but there is some good news as he has received double-digit shot attempts in seven straight with his best two fantasy performances coming in the two most recent games where he exceeded 22...

DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Sunday, 3/19

Posted by on Mar 19, 2023 in Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineups, Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks, DraftKings NBA Picks, FanDuel NBA Picks, featured |

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 3/19/23 It feels crazy to say, but we're down to the final three weeks of the regular season. It always feels like a crawl midway through the year, but it feels like an absolute sprint when we get to this point. This time of the year couldn't get any more exciting either, with eight teams sitting within 3.5 games of one another in the Western Conference. Those clubs could finish anywhere between fifth and 12th, which is the difference between avoiding a play-in game and missing the tournament altogether. That means the stakes are as high as ever, so let's kick things off with the PG for one of those teams battling for those final spots.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard D'Angelo Russell FD - $8000 DK - $8100 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 36.79 DK - 36.96 It's strange that this youngster has been passed from team to team because Russell has been a great player throughout his career. The young guard is playing his best basketball since the trade back to LA, scoring at least 32 DraftKings points in five straight games. D-Lo is also averaging 40 fantasy points per game in that span, taking over ball-handling duties in the absence of LeBron James. That means more shots, assists, minutes, usage, and ball-handling, which should allow him to go off against this 19th-ranked Orlando defense. In his last matchup with the Magic, Russell registered a season-high 58 DK points in one of the best outings of his career. Markelle Fultz FD - $7600 DK - $6700 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 37.96 DK - 37.94 It was sad when Fultz was battling injuries through the first five years of his career, but this former top pick is showing why he was the most coveted basketball player in the world at one point. The feisty point guard has scored at least 27 DraftKings points in 17 of his last 19 games, generating a 35-point average in that span. He also comes into this matchup with 50 or more DK points in back-to-back games, the best stretch of his career. The bump in production is no surprise since he's being asked to...

DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Saturday 3/18

Guards James Harden FD - $10100 DK - $9800 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 48.94 DK - 53.51 The 76ers are one of seven teams playing on a back-to-back tonight but no way we are ignoring the matchup as they are six-point favourites in a game with the third-highest total(234) on the slate. Let's start with James Harden who may not have the same upside as in the past but is still one of the most consistent PTS/$ producers in the league. It comes down to his contributions in almost every fantasy stat and has been especially good recently averaging a double-double on 22.7 points and 10.8 assists and with the addition of another 6.9 rebounds he has averaged 52 fantasy points a game since the break. Against a Pacers' team that ranks 26th in defensive efficiency, I will have a ton of exposure to Harden in all formats tonight. Bradley Beal FD - $9100 DK - $8600 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 43.94 DK - 47.26 It is a similar situation for Beal here as the Wizards are one of the teams playing on a back-to-back but the good news is that they are home as favourites in a game with a monster 236 total. Like Philly, they also get a plus matchup, as well, facing a Kings team that ranks 25th in defensive efficiency and 21st in fantasy points to guards. For Beal, the price is creeping back up and justifiably so as he has been very consistent lately averaging over 45 fantasy points over his last eight games on a very balanced attack(26 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2.4 blocks+steals). All things considered tonight, Beal is a core play for me in all formats. Malik Monk FD - $5400 DK - $4700 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 28.72 DK - 32 We are always looking for value and many times it comes in the form of opportunity due to injury. That is the case for the Kings as Kevin Huerter left Thursday's game with a knee injury and is highly questionable tonight. That would open up some added minutes for Malik Monk who could possibly get a spot start but either way has been a very consistent contributor off the bench recently. He has taken double-digit shots and tallied double-digit points in...
