We've got you completely covered. What We Know Damian Lillard is out with the birth of his child The kid is coming out just eight days after expected, so the wait is over. We no longer have to deal with a GTD tag that lasts throughout the game. We also get Shabazz night! You can call it free square Wednesday if you want to. With Lillard out, Shabazz Napier is going to slide in and play 34+ minutes. It was just a couple months ago when Napier was putting up 35+ fantasy points a night with Lillard out for extended time. At minimum price, play him in 100% of lineups. Maurice Harkless will also remain out, so Evan Turner will see an increase in minutes at the three and will have the opportunity to ball-handle a bit. C.J. McCollum is an easy play at the two in cash games, but Napier is good enough to be trusted down the stretch with the ball. Aminu has also been playing great and could grab a few extra shots from the corner. This Lillard news is huge and everyone benefits, but Napier is the clear play. Kevin Love did not clear concussion protocol and will miss tonight's game against the Hornets Larry Nance is going to get back towards 25 minutes and you have to love him in a solid match-up with a weak Hornets interior. Jeff Green and Tristan Thompson could also pick up some minutes and I’m a fan of both in cash games for a punt. You'd like Nance to get the start, but he could still return value off the...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/28/18 Welcome to NBA Wednesday! The League has blessed us with an 8-game slate on this lovely Wednesday and it’s a very nice one. There really isn’t one game that stands out, so we’ll be jumping all around the place at each position. Let's do some work!

Point guard Shabazz Napier FD - $3500 DK - $3800Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 17.21 DK - 17.27 We’ll start, however, with the easiest play on the slate. Damian Lillard has left Memphis for the birth of his child. That will leave a minimum-priced Shabazz Napier to start. There’s is something wrong if he’s not over 80% owned. Call me crazy, but this is a guy that was putting up 30+ fantasy points on a constant basis for more than a small stretch of time. I fully trust him to dominate while on the floor and 35 minutes shouldn’t be much of an issue. The Grizzlies still play slow, but they’re injury-riddled and have ranked 21st against opposing point guards since the All-Star Break. Napier is going to demolish value and he’s arguably the easiest play we’ve had on the year. Austin Rivers FD - $5800 DK - $6000Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 31.51 DK - 32.14 Austin Rivers is already getting 34-38 minutes a game, and now Teodosic has been ruled out. He faces off with a Suns team that ranks 27th against point guards and gives up the 6th most three pointers. Rivers has been producing as of late and is safe against this putrid defense. The upside is huge and the price is very friendly. Rivers is an elite play in all formats. I don’t mind Sindarius Thornwell, either, but there is plenty of value at the position and he’s not nearly productive enough. A Rivers-Napier pairing is something you’re going on a lot of my teams tonight. Let’s look at some more solid value. Isaiah Taylor FD - $3600 DK - $3800Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 21.01 DK - 21.09 If you’re wanting even more value at point guard past Shabazz Napier, Isaiah Taylor is a phenomenal pivot at a similar price. With Schroder out in 2 of the last 3 games, Taylor picked up 31 and 26 minutes. He put up 32 fantasy points in...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know James Harden and Clint Capela will rest tonight, while Chris Paul will return Obviously the biggest news of the night. The expected return of Chris Paul is going to lessen the blow, but there’s still a ton of opportunity. It’s hard to say how many minutes Paul will get, but those minutes will be packed with FP. He’s worth a look in every format if you think he grabs 30 minutes. Eric Gordon will get the start at the two and is one of the best plays on the entire slate. Expect him to shoot a ton and play 34+ minutes. If you need value. Gerald Green, Joe Johnson, and Tarik Black are all candidates for extra run. Gerald Green stands out as one of the best value plays available. J.J. Barea will miss the next two games for personal reasons I know it’s a big surprise, but J.J Barea is out again. This time he’ll miss the next two contests with a personal reason. It’ll give Dennis Smith solidifies minutes in the rotation and bump Yogi Ferrell up to the 30’s. They are both in play, but Ferrell is a guy I have a ton of interest in at the mid-$5k tag. What We're Waiting to Know Damian Lillard is a permanent GTD until the birth of his child This one is obviously weird and things can change with a push. Eh. I’ll stay away because of the uncertainty, but Lillard has insane upside in a match-up with a tired Pelicans team. If he plays, expect 45+ fantasy points with the ceiling for 80. If he is ever ruled out beforehand, Shabazz Napier would be the best play on the slate and it wouldn’t be close. If Lillard is out, make sure you have 110% Napier. McCollum will also pick up a few shots, but he can shoot 25 if hot, even with Lillard in the lineup. Rajon Rondo and Nikola Mirotic are questionable to play against the Trail Blazers Both of these guys missed last game, so we know what to do. If Rondo is out, DeAndre Liggins will grab 25 minutes. Ian Clark will too, but he will either way. Rondo out just means he gets those 25...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Nicolas Batum is probable to return against the Knicks, but will have a minutes limit Batum has been out for a while and he's likely to return tonight with a minutes limit. You obviously can't play Batum, but it also takes away from Jeremy Lamb and Dwyane Bacon. Neither are on my radar tonight, though Lamb on DK can still be considered at the cheap tag. Gary Harris, T.J. Warren, Brandon Ingram, Isaiah Thomas, and Tyson Chandler will remain out tonight These guys have been out a while and we know what to do. If you have any questions, feel free to comment down below and I will make sure to get to you. What We're Waiting to Know Devin Booker is "very questionable" to play and will have his status decided during warmups Whatever that means. If Booker plays, he probably won't see a full allotment of minutes and I don't have much interest against Jaylen Brown. If Booker is out, Josh Jackson and Troy Daniels are both in play in all formats. T.J. Warren is already out, so Jackson is in play either way and this would put him close to 40 minutes. Every Lineup Guys Kyle Kuzma FD - $6600 DK - $6900 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 36.63 DK - 38.01 Kuzma has picked up 40+ minutes over the last two games and is sitting in the exact same situation tonight. Brandon Ingram remains out and Isaiah Thomas is also going to sit. It will only give Kuzma a few extra shots and it's not like he even needs them. He's been over 30 fantasy points in three straight games. The Pistons rank 21st against the small forward position and are degenerating as a defense as a whole. Kuzma is an elite play in both cash games and tournaments. Expect another 38+ minutes and 30+ fantasy points. GRAB A FREE TRIAL OF OUR PROJECTION SYSTEM, AND CHECK OUT DFSR PRO! START FREE TRIAL...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Lonzo Ball FD - $8300 DK - $7800 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 41.2 DK - 41.15 Welcome to NBA Monday! The new week brings along a fun 5-game slate with a whole lot to decipher. There are a couple spots that stick out above the rest, but every game deserves some attention. We’ll kick things off in Detroit with Lonzo Ball. Ball is playing some of the best basketball of the season and he’s playing a whole lot of it, too. Over the last 6 games, he’s averaged 40.5 minutes per game. 44 and 42 in the last two. Now, Isaiah Thomas is out and the Lakers have no choice but to stretch Lonzo. Isaiah has been picking up big minutes and he shoots every time he touches the ball, so there some shots to take as well. It’s weird to say, but expect another 38 or more productive minutes. He’s going to be facing Ish Smith and Reggie Jackson, so the success isn’t hard to imagine. They rank 19th against the position and 23rd since the break. Lonzo spreads it around like crazy and is far from reliant on any 1 stat. With a 215 total and 4.5 spread, Vegas thinks it stays close and relatively high-scoring. Lonzo is an elite play in all formats. Terry Rozier FD - $7100 DK - $7600 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 36.45 DK - 36.99 When this season is said and done, Terry Rozier is going to be one of the real memories. Brad Stevens has turned another run of the mill player into a fantasy star. That might seem crazy, but it’s hard to disagree when he’s been so effective on both sides of the floor. Rozier has been a dynamic defender and it’s why he made the NBA in the first place. His offense has improved like no other and he’s been insanely great. Not only at scoring, but Rozier has stayed around 5-9 assists and is one of the best rebounding guards you will find. He literally does it all. While playing huge minutes. He’s going to continue getting 34+ minutes with Kyrie out and the shots aren’t going anywhere. Tonight, he faces off with a Suns team that ranks dead...
