Point guard Chris Paul FD - $8300 DK - $7700 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 39.72 DK - 40.17 Welcome to NBA Monday! We have a solid 4-game slate on our hands with each contest deserving attention. We’ll kick things off in Houston, where the Spurs will face the Rockets in what is the best real-life game of the slate. We know both teams will take the game seriously (the Spurs are very much at risk of missing the playoffs) and Paul only saw 30 minutes on Sunday evening. He’ll be out there for another 30+ minutes and deserves attention in all formats. His price is down on both sites and you’re seeing a huge discount from both Russ and Lillard. If Paul hits his stride, he’s a 45 FP producer every night. He’s always extremely consistent and being on the Rockets hasn’t changed that a bit. He’s not afraid to shoot with Harden on the floor and looks very comfortable controlling the ball. The match-up on paper is average, but you have to think Paul sees 34+ minutes if it’s a nail-biter throughout. I don’t necessarily love him against the Spurs, but he’ll be on the floor and the price is just too low for a healthy Chris Paul. Paul is an elite option in all formats and you can pay up for him everywhere. Eric Bledsoe FD - $7500 DK - $6800 Opponent - MEM Proj Pts FD - 37.32 DK - 37.21 When you have four games and three of them involve the Spurs, Heat, or Grizzlies, you're not working with the best of options. With that being said, there are a few solid plays at each position. Eric Bledsoe is just a bit cheaper than Chris Paul and will come in very low-owned against the Grizzlies. He's playing the best basketball of his season and did put up a stretch of 40+ fantasy performances. With Tyreke Evans, Andrew Harrison, and Mario Chalmers all out, I...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Stephen Curry is out against the Trail Blazers Lots of news today. We start out with Golden State and Stephen Curry, who rolled his ankle in just 2 minutes last night. He'll be held out for at least the next 2 games and we'll see a few guys pick up opportunity. At point guard, Quinn Cook and Shaun Livingston will split minutes. I'll pass outside of a large-field tourney. Instead, I'll look towards Kevin Durant as one of my top plays of the night. Thompson and Green will also pick up some usage and shots and you have to think both hit value if this game stays close. Off the bench, we could see Nick Young throw up some more shots. He's a tournament flier only. All in all, KD is one of my favorite plays on the entire night and Thompson = Green are viable cash game plays until Curry returns. Anthony Davis is doubtful to play against the Pelicans I guess we don't technically "know" here, but every single thing is pointing towards Anthony Davis missing this game. Assuming he does, Nikola Mirotic should grab the start and play 30+ minutes. He's a top 3 play at the PF position and I'll have a ton of exposure in all formats. Cheick Diallo will also see some minutes and I guess you can play him if you need to punt. Personally, not neccesary. Usage-wise, Jrue Holiday is going to go off. Expect 25+ shots and at least 40 fantasy points. Rondo and Moore will also see a few extra shots, but they don't stand out. Holiday and Mirotic are the 2 guys you want to play in cash. Aaron Gordon and Evan Fournier have been ruled out against the Kings D.J. Augustin has been upgraded to probable, so at least someone will be available to play. For Fournier, look for Simmons and Hezonja to grab a bunch of minutes and shots. They are both very good plays in both formats. Arron Afflalo will also pick up some minutes, but I'll pass. As for Gordon, look for Hezonja and Issac to benefit. We'll also see Vucevic play big minutes and shoot a ton with the other shot-takers out of the lineup....

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/9/18 Welcome to NBA Friday! We have 10 games to look through with plenty of different options. We do have 3 different 227+ totals and not a single spread on the slate is greater than 10. To make it simple, this is a fun slate with a lot of different routes to a completed lineup.

Point guard Damian Lillard FD - $9700 DK - $9400Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 45.43 DK - 47.19 We’ll kick things off in Portland, where the Blazers will host a Warriors team coming off a nail-biter vs the Spurs. Steph Curry rolled his ankle early in the game and didn’t return. He’s questionable for tonight and I wouldn’t be surprised if he misses. With that being said, it’s still hard to pinpoint the minutes between Cook and Livingston. For that reason, I’ll revisit the Warriors in a bit and take a look at Damian Lillard. Likely facing the likes of Livingston and Quinn Cook, Lillard should have 0 problem putting up fantasy points. He’s playing some of his best basketball of the season and can be counted on for 34 minutes and 45 fantasy points as a baseline in cash games. The upside is ridiculous in tournaments and we prefer him at home in big games. Damian Lillard is now going to cost you close to $10k, but he’s paying it off on most nights and sees a match-up tonight with a Warriors squad that’s going to force him to run and gun. If the Blazers expect to keep it close, Lillard is a lock and load in all formats. Lonzo Ball FD - $7500 DK - $7600Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 38.74 DK - 38.74 Love or hate him, Lonzo Ball has been extremely productive as of late. He's been over 35 fantasy points in 3 of the last 4 and eclipsed 40 in two of those. He's been over 33 minutes in every game and is controlling the offense like a vet. The match-ups haven't been that great, either, topping 40 against the Spurs and Heat. He now sees an affair with the Denver Nuggets that holds a crazy 230 total and 6.5 point spread. The Nuggets rank 24th against the position since the Al-Star Break and there isn't much to...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $12000 DK - $11800 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 61.2 DK - 64.65 Welcome to NBA Thursday! We kick things off in Oklahoma City, where the Suns and Thunder face-off in a game with a 228 total and 10 point spread. It's easily the highest total on the slate and we'll be targeting this game quite a lot. To no surprise, things get going with Russell Westbrook at the PG position. He just put up 72 fantasy points against the Suns a week ago and is playing his best basketball. The Suns play faster than anyone in basketball and rank bottom 10 against every position. Against PG's, they sit at 27th on the season and 28th since the ASB. Elfrid isn't necessarily a bad defender, but this team has no motivation to play defense, instead pushing the offense and getting the ball to the scorers as quickly as possible. Westbrook is the only true superstar on this slate with Karl-Anthony Towns the 2nd most expensive at just over $10k. He'll likely be popular because of it, but that's fine. This is one of the 3 best possible match-ups for Westbrook and I'll do my best to have him in every single lineup. There's no opportunity cost in the price range. Kemba Walker FD - $9000 DK - $8700 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 43.32 DK - 44.69 Let's head to the mid-range. In doing so, we skipped Steph Curry. He doesn't have the best match-up on paper, but the game against the Spurs is at least interesting if it stays close. We'll instead look at Kemba Walker, who has a phenomenal match-up with the Brooklyn Nets. On the season they rank dead last in terms of allowing fantasy points to opposing point guards. We love targeting Kemba at home and it's rare to see a 218 total in that arena. This is literally an ideal scenario for Walker. He's very well rested and I can't think of a situation I would rather he be in. Personally, I'll have him locked into all of my cash games and at least most tournaments. It's a branch I'm willing to die on tonight. Tyler Johnson FD - $5200 DK - $5200 Opponent...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Justin Holiday will start at SF for the Bulls Besides 1 game against the Nets, the Bulls have held Holiday out in hopes of getting the youngsters some experience. He'll jump back into the starting lineup tonight against a tough Grizzlies defense. You can go there if you want, but I doubt he's in much of a rhythm and certainly won't be pushed over 32-34 minutes, no matter the circumstance. It obviously hurts the likes of David Nwaba and Denzel Valentine considerably, though both can still be considered in tournaments. Willie Cauley-Stein, Brandon Ingram, Tyreke Evans, Andrew Harrison, and Tristan Thompson will all remain out We know what to do here for the most part. For Willie Cauley-Stein, Kosta Koufos will slide in once again for 20-25 minutes and makes sense as a punt in cash games. With a thinned-out Grizzlies squad, we'll see Ben McLemore, Kobi Simmons, and Myke Henry all pick up substantial minutes. The NBA lineup optimizer has McLemore projected for the most minutes at 35.Let's look at some of the unknowns. What We're Waiting to Know Jarell Martin is questionable to return against the Bulls Martin missed last game and I'm not sure they are going to rush him back at all. Against the Bulls, I don't have any interest if he does play. Now if Martin misses, go ahead and play Jamychael Green with a 25 FP expectation. Ivan Rabb may also pick up close to 20 minutes and is extremely cheap on both sites. Gasol is always a safe option at a weaker center position. Every Lineup Guys Kyle Kuzma FD - $6100 DK - $6100 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 31.77 DK - 32.67 Here's what I said last night in the picks article. Ever since Brandon Ingram went out, Kyle Kuzma has picked up 33 and 37 minutes. He put up 27 and 32 fantasy points in two tough match-ups and now sees a great one against Orlando. On the year, they rank 21st against the position and have been even worse recently. Kuzma has been extremely efficient when on the floor at 1.22 fantasy points per minute and it always just comes down to the opportunity. With Ingram confirmed out,...
