Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Damian Lillard FD - $10800 DK - $11600Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 54.3 DK - 59.72 Damian Lillard is just on a ridiculous run right now. It’s really something. When healthy, since January 8th, the dude is averaging 38 points and seven assists a game. This is about as good as you’ll ever see with 60 and 71 point games thrown in there for good measure. Portland will be without Anfernee Simons again for this game facing a Hawks team running a top-10 pace and a bottom-10 defensive efficiency. The spot sets up well for Dame who is on a different level right now. Terry Rozier FD - $7800 DK - $7700Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 39.5 DK - 42.82 Kelly Oubre Jr. FD - $7000 DK - $6600Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 38.57 DK - 40.4 The Hornets are without LaMelo Ball for the rest of the season and these two should play major minutes as long as games can stay close. That was the case last game with both running 38 against the Suns in a loss. Rozier took 18 shots and finished with 20 points, but he has a 29.8% usage rate when Ball is off the court this season. Meanwhile, Kelly Oubre took a team-high 24 points and finished with 26 points while adding in nine rebounds. The matchup against the Magic on Friday should be a better one though Orlando isn’t exactly a rollover team. That being said, the Hornets guys without their star are all a bit underpriced and this game doesn’t have inordinate blowout risk. Anthony Edwards FD - $9400 DK - $9400Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 47.1 DK - 49.93 I still want to trust Anthony Edwards at these prices now that the team has traded away D’Angelo Russell and still doesn’t have Karl-Anthony Towns back in the mix. The 18 and 19 shots respectively over the last two games isn’t quite where it should be for a score-heavy guy like Edwards, but the usage over the course of the season has been there. This isn’t a defensively stout Lakers team so the matchup is...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Josh Giddey FD - $7700 DK - $7500Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 43.61 DK - 47.83 Isaiah Joe FD - $5300 DK - $4400Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 32.33 DK - 35.75 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is going to miss another game which means we should see increased opportunity for both Josh Giddey and Isaiah Joe in this one against the Kings. Joe really blew it out of the box two games ago against the Suns when he went 36 minutes, put up 17 shots, and finished with 28 points and seven rebounds. He came back with a 24-point game against these very Kings on Sunday. The price hasn’t climbed enough for his new opportunity and he’s an especially easy play on DraftKings. Meanwhile, Giddey isn’t going to be a high-usage guy, but the on-ball time alone raises his floor considerably with SGA out of the mix. He went for 18 points, seven rebounds, and five assists last game and his price, in general, is still very much in the value zone. I think pairing both of these guys and possibly Lu Dort is the way to go in cash though there is definitely blow out risk with this game. Talen Horton-Tucker FD - $5900 DK - $5900Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 38.9 DK - 41.05 With Jordan Clarkson now out for the Utah Jazz and Collin Sexton already on the shelf, the backcourt is starting to look pretty thin for this team. Talen Horton-Tucker has been set in the starting lineup for a few games now and in that time he’s averaging 12 points, seven rebounds, and six assists. It’s not an overwhelming stat line, but he will add stats on the defensive end which does give him some upside at these prices. With the best matchup on the board against the Spurs, this is a pretty easy play especially when you factor in that the Jazz are missing so many players in the backcourt. And along those lines, we will likely see either Ochai Agbaji (FD 3900 DK 3800) or Kris Dunn (FD 4500 DK 3600) in the starting lineup. Either could be solid...

Anthony Edwards Leads the Daily Fantasy DraftKings and FanDuel NBA Picks - Friday, February 24, 2023 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.

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 Anthony Edwards FD - $9400 DK - $9100Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 49.09 DK - 52.35 Mike Conley FD - $5800 DK - $5700Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 32.96 DK - 35.74 The Timberwolves find themselves in the best fantasy situation going on Friday, facing up against the Charlotte Hornets who rank 24th in defensive efficiency and second in pace. That’s the DFS sweet spot and stacking Minnesota in cash games should have a high floor. Anthony Edwards leads the charge here, playing the most minutes on the team and carrying in incredibly high usage, especially after the trade of D’Angelo Russell at the deadline. Edwards has averaged 23.5 shots per game over the last four putting up 30+ in three of those games. It’s just too good a spot for him here and the opportunity shift means the price is still just a tad too low. And then there is Mike Conley. Bad news first: last game Conley played 33 minutes and scored exactly zero points. That won’t make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, but here we are. The good news is that he played a bunch of minutes and that should continue to be the case here. I think stacking this game as much as possible is the play and I’m willing to live with some of the downside risk Conley presents with his overall game. Jrue Holiday FD - $8000 DK - $8900Opponent - MIAProj Pts FD - 42.24 DK - 46.26 The Bucks are going to be without Giannis Antetokounmpo because of a wrist issue and that tends to open up opportunities nearly across the board for this team. It’s not an amazing matchup against the Heat, but a guy like Jrue Holiday is still firmly in as a play, especially on FanDuel where the price is a bit too low. Seeing as how Khris Middleton is still coming off the bench with a minutes-management piece, Holiday should take over the offense here. With Giannis off the court this season, Holiday has a 33% usage rate, the highest on the team (Giannis is 40% for the...

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 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $10200 DK - $10500Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 54.04 DK - 55.27 The Thunder and Jazz play in the game with the highest total on the slate and we are going to want exposure to both sides of this thing. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander makes for one of the best pay-up options on Thursday, coming in with the prospect of a high minutes expectation and likely significant usage. The Jazz play the fourth-worst defense and run a top-10 pace and SGA has been good for about 19+ shots a game over the last couple of months. He doesn’t take many threes but he seems to get literally whatever he wants near the basket and gets to the foul line a ton too. He could be a popular play here considering the baseline and the matchup. Damian Lillard FD - $10500 DK - $11400Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 53.72 DK - 59.03 Lillard is another interesting case here considering the state of the Blazers. Anfernee Simons is going to miss some time here. Dame put up 30 shots in his final game before the All-Star break and he’s scored 33+ in four of his last five games. Rest assured, he’s going to put up a ton of shots in the short-term and gets a great matchup against the Kings and their top-10 pace with bottom-third defense. Jordan Clarkson FD - $6400 DK - $7500Opponent - OKCProj Pts FD - 35.18 DK - 39.47 The Jazz traded away Mike Conley and now are going to be without Collin Sexton for this game against the Thunder. That should line up well for Jordan Clarkson in the usage department with 20+ shots and minutes in the mid-30s most-definitely on the table. Clarkson has scored 20+ points in five of the last six games and done just enough in the rebounding and assist categories to keep the floor on the higher side. With the Jazz roster issues, I think he’s a popular play on this slate. Markelle Fultz FD - $6500 DK - $6000Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 37.08 DK - 38.57 Fultz has come on very...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Damian Lillard FD - $10400 DK - $11100Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 54.21 DK - 60 Damian Lillard was a chalk option on Monday for good reason and he could that again here on Monday against the Wizards. Dame started slow, but finished strong against the Lakers, scoring 40 points in the win. He took 23 shots, his most since January 25th against the Jazz. The usage saw an uptick with Jerami Grant out of the lineup though the latter is questionable for this game. While he’s really up there in price now, Portland has the highest implied total on the slate and are in a great spot against Washington. Derrick White FD - $7200 DK - $7100Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 39.78 DK - 42 Malcolm Brogdon FD - $5600 DK - $5700Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 34.29 DK - 37.79 It looks like Jayson Tatum is going to sit out this game with an illness and Jaylen Brown is already out of the mix with a facial fracture. Oh, and Marcus Smart has been out injured for some time now. The Celtics are really thin going into this game and for starters, we should see a lot of minutes and usage out of Derrick White. White has played 37 or more minutes in each of the last four games, and over the last six, he’s averaged 22 points, six assists, and six rebounds. The price has come up in the short-term, but not enough for the current opportunity with Boston missing so many guys in the backcourt and on the wing. Meanwhile, Malcolm Brogdon isn’t likely to start, but he should be called on for an uptick in minutes in this game considering the state of the Celtics’ injury issues. He only played 18 minutes against the Hornets, and also sat out last game. But here he could push 30+ minutes off the bench mostly because Boston will need his offense. Small Forward Giannis Antetokounmpo FD - $12000 DK - $12700Opponent - BOSProj Pts FD - 61.93 DK - 66.74 While we typically don’t want to run guys into the Celtics on...

Guards Jordan Poole FD - $7800 DK - $7800 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 40.01 DK - 42.64 For you regular readers, it probably feels like a copy/paste job with Poole but as long he remains under $8K with Curry out, he is as close to a lock as there is right now. He has been especially dominating over this last three-game stretch with Steph out averaging 49.5 DK points and going back to the start of December(16 games) is averaging 28.9 points on 21.8 shots and over 41 fantasy points per game with Curry out.  It's only an average matchup against the Wizards(15th in def eff) but the projected usage at this price still has him as a top PTS/$ play in all formats. Brandon Ingram FD - $7800 DK - $7800 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 42.67 DK - 43.81 There are five guards over $10K on DraftKings(three on FD) but I much prefer a balanced attack when looking at the slate from a PTS/$ perspective. Ingram was eased back in after missing two months with a toe injury but has been terrific since returning to his 30+ minute role(five games) averaging 26.4 points on 19.6 shots and 43.8 DK/42.4 FD points per game. While the Thunder are mid-pack in overall defensive efficiency the have given up the 3rd most fantasy points to guards. This game has the highest total on the board and Ingram is a top target for me in all formats. Jordan Clarkson FD - $6200 DK - $6700 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 30.65 DK - 32.67 Collin Sexton FD - $5500 DK - $5200 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 28.12 DK - 29.38 The Jazz unloaded guards Conley, Alexander-Walker, and Beasley before the deadline and that, in turn, has created a ton of value with Clarkson and Sexton. Let's start with Clarkson who is has been very consistent in the short-term averaging 19.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and over 32 fantasy points per game over his last six games. The volume is there as he has taken 19 or more shots in three of his last four and the price is still under $7K in plus matchup against the Pacers who run at a Top 10 pace and rank 24th in defensive efficiency. For Sexton,...
