Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Damian Lillard FD - $9200 DK - $9600Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 44.56 DK - 48.67 Fading the Bucks could be a problem here as much as playing them considering there is some major blowout risk against the Wizards. But they get such an awesome matchup against the team running the NBA’s fastest pace with a defensive efficiency that’s pretty close to the bottom. While we might be more incentivized to play Damian Lillard when Giannis is out, there is still merit to playing both here. Dame is coming off 27 points and 12 assists in the full-strength game against the Mavericks on Saturday. If Washington can keep it close (big IF), then Lillard is still a deal here. James Harden FD - $7200 DK - $7800Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 38.13 DK - 41.56 The Clippers made a starting lineup change last game, moving Russell Westbrook to the sixth man role. It seemed to pay dividends with LA finally getting a win in the James Harden era and the latter put up solid numbers. He finished with 29 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists when it was all said and done. Now he’ll face the Spurs who are playing the second-worst defense in the league and the Clips come in with one of the highest totals. Harden isn’t priced correctly on either site, but is an especially good deal on FanDuel. De'Aaron Fox FD - $9900 DK - $9300Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 49.09 DK - 52.33 Almost no matter what, we are going to be paying up for some guards on this slate with the way things are currently shaking out. De'Aaron Fox has been out of his mind this season, and over his last four games is averaging 32 points, 6.3 assists, and 4.8 rebounds while running major minutes. The price on DraftKings hasn’t really caught up to the production which is running a bit on the hot side, but not a ton. I think we can still play him in this one considering Kings-Pelicans has the second-highest over/ under on the slate. Chris Duarte (FD 3700 DK 3100) could get...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Donovan Mitchell FD - $9700 DK - $9100Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 55.08 DK - 57.45 Sometimes we get injury news early and that was the case with Darius Garland being ruled out late Tuesday for this Wednesday game against the Trailblazers. And I think you know what that means: fire up Donovan Mitchell and don’t think twice about it. Mitchell has a 31% usage rate on the season and that climbs to 34% when Garland is off the court. That’s one of the higher numbers you will see and makes him a pretty easy play here. The price has come down a bit in the short-term which makes it even easier and I suspect he will be one of the highest-owned players on the slate. Coby White FD - $5400 DK - $5500Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 31.08 DK - 33.6 Zach LaVine FD - $7900 DK - $7700Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 38.78 DK - 42.1 Another piece of injury news we got early was that DeMar DeRozan is set to sit this game out for the Bulls. While Chicago might be in blow-it-up mode coming sooner than later, we can still play some of their guys in the short-term when the getting is good. For starters, Zach Lavine sees an obvious bump in production with DDR off the court, leading the team with a 30% usage in these situations so far this season. He’s scoring dependent for sure, but the price on both sites is totally reasonable considering the context. Meanwhile, Coby White sees the usage climb to 26.8% and the assist rate bumps up as well. I think his minutes are ultra-safe right now considering the Bulls are playing without DDR and will likely be without Alex Caruso as well. For White, these are the kind of situations we are waiting for when it comes to cash games. Small Forward Caris LeVert FD - $6100 DK - $6400Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 36.46 DK - 38.71 Like we said with Donovan Mitchell, the Darius Garland injury is going to mean some value here for the Cavs and Caris LeVert...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Dennis Schröder FD - $6700 DK - $6600Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 36.07 DK - 38.96 The Raptors get, by far, the best matchup on the slate for Monday facing off against the Wizards who rank third-to-last in defensive efficiency and 7th in pace. It’s a perfect spot to stack one team on a shorter slate of games and Dennis Schroder’s price makes it relatively easy to do so. We’ll get to some of his teammates here shortly, but there’s still value in rostering Schroder here. In closer games, he’s tracking for 32-33 minutes and has had decent usage, getting up 13 or more shots in three of his last five games. The assists can come and go with Scottie Barnes controlling the action at times, but the pace volume makes up for a lot here. This is a pretty easy way to start cash games. Keon Ellis FD - $3500 DK - $3900Opponent - CLEProj Pts FD - 23.64 DK - 23.54 Malik Monk FD - $5900 DK - $6000Opponent - CLEProj Pts FD - 28.17 DK - 31.48 De'Aaron Fox is already doubtful for this game after sitting out the last three and Keon Ellis has seen the role steadily expand in the short-term. He started two games ago, got the start again last time out and saw a career-high in minutes with 31. He’s not going to be a feature part of the offense, but the rookie is coming so cheap that he really doesn’t need to be for our purposes. Ellis has been able to chip in across the stat line enough for a decent floor at these price points. Considering the Kings won the last two, I don’t see them making a lineup change for this game. Meanwhile, I’m not typically wanting to get bench guys in for cash games, but Malik Monk is one of the rare exceptions because his role is relatively locked in. He played 29 last game, took 12 shots (4th highest on team) and finished with 12 points and eight assists. There’s even room for growth on those numbers again and on a short slate, his...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard LaMelo Ball FD - $9100 DK - $10000Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 50.77 DK - 55.94 The Hornets and Wizards played on Wednesday, putting up 248 points total with Washington beating Charlotte healthily 132-116. From a fantasy perspective, this matchup lines up well for us to stack again in cash games and we’ve seen LaMelo Ball’s minutes tick up in the short-term. He took 22 shots in that one in 36 minutes, tallying 34 points, seven assists, and four rebounds. Dude turned it over six times, but that’s to be somewhat expected considering his time on ball and usage. The price has come way up on DraftKings but he’s still a great play on FanDuel. Desmond Bane FD - $8700 DK - $8500Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 45.76 DK - 48.63 Marcus Smart FD - $6100 DK - $6600Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 34.53 DK - 36.62 The Grizzlies get a good matchup against the Jazz in this one with Utah ranking dead last in defensive efficiency this season. Desmond Bane has struggled from the field at times, but continues to have crazy high usage for Memphis with Ja Morant out of the picture. He’s averaging close to 21 shots per game and 9.4 from beyond the arc. The looks are more difficult, but we can assume he’ll come up some on the 33.3% 3-point shooting considering he’s 42% for his career. I like the prices on both sites as the Grizzlies try to keep their heads above water here. Smart’s scoring numbers are up over his career averages and he’s been racking up a ton of steals so far, with 2.6 per game not the season. His three-point shooting could also probably stand for a bit of positive regression as well. I think the price on both sites is more than fair and the minutes are very safe. Small Forward Brandon Miller FD - $5300 DK - $6100Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 33.02 DK - 35.59 Gordon Hayward FD - $7100 DK - $7100Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 38.11 DK - 40.3 I might be wish casting a bit here, but...

Daily Fantasy DraftKings and FanDuel NBA Picks - Wednesday, November 8, 2023 After a day off from hoops, the Association returns on Wednesday with a massive slate of games.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard/ Shooting Guard LaMelo Ball FD - $8800 DK - $8900Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 53.72 DK - 58.9 It’s a huge slate of NBA games, but get ready to see a lot of Hornets on this list. That’s because they get the best matchup around in the Washington Wizards who rank dead last in defensive efficiency and first in pace. This is the absolute dream situation and we will be stacking teams against them from here on out. The big news with LaMelo Ball last game, in addition to the 30 points, 13 assists, 10 rebound triple-double was that he pushed the minutes to 39. He’s a lock for cash on this slate at these prices. Tyus Jones FD - $5800 DK - $5600Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 30.11 DK - 32.21 Jordan Poole FD - $6700 DK - $7400Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 35.37 DK - 38.34 This is an interesting spot for the Wizards tonight. They aren’t at a massive risk of getting blown out, coming in at just three-point underdogs to the Hornets. That could mean the minutes are actually on the safer side for Tyus Jones and Jordan Poole. It hasn’t been the case lately, but this game is a different beast. What you are relying on with both of these Wizards guards is that the minutes will be there up and over 30 and that they won’t get buzzed off even in a close game. That’s not a guarantee with Washington in full tank mode this season. But the usage is there for both, this game has a massive total and neither of them are all that expensive for what they offer. Strongly consider Tyrese Haliburton (FD 10000 DK 9800) who has been amazing of late. This game also has a big total and his minutes are ultra-safe in a close one. Small Forward Brandon Miller FD - $5600 DK - $5800Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 34.35 DK - 36.99 Gordon Hayward FD - $6900 DK - $6600Opponent - WASProj Pts FD -...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Trae Young FD - $8800 DK - $9300Opponent - OKCProj Pts FD - 46.55 DK - 50.97 There are a couple of games with huge totals on this slate and Hawks-Thunder is one of them. It’s sitting at 236.5 right now with only Spurs - Pacers above it at 238. Most other games are about 10 points less. That’s a good sign for stacking here and we are going to want to have pieces of both. Trae Young is coming at a bargain on FanDuel at sub-$9K making for a value there compared to some of the other elite point guards on the slate. I like taking the relative discount where we can get in a game he should have high usage. Tyrese Haliburton FD - $9800 DK - $9400Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 49.21 DK - 53.03 Tyrese Haliburton went completely crazy on Saturday against Charlotte, playing 37 minutes and going for 43 points and 12 assists on 14-21 shooting and 8-12 from beyond the arc. That just blows through the ceiling and while we can’t expect the same kind of efficiency, the pace of this game should lend itself to plenty of scoring once again. As mentioned, this game has the highest total on the slate and it was good to see Hali’s minutes crest up and over 35. Josh Giddey FD - $7700 DK - $8200Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 41.31 DK - 45.38 Josh Giddey was a moderate disappointment last game without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the court, playing *just* 31 minutes and going for 18 points, five rebounds, and four assists with no defensive stats. That’s a problem considering what we thought might happen with SGA out of the mix. There’s a chance the minutes just might not be all that robust for Giddey who hasn’t played more than 32 in a game so far this season. But if there was a time to really pile up stats on volume, this is the game. Update: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is now listed as questionable so keep an...
