We had a pretty small Wednesday slate yesterday, but the NBA has traded us for a very nice Thursday. We have another 6 games on the board tonight and plenty to dive into. We start out in Golden State with Stephen Curry. As of now, Kevin Durant is questionable. Curry is obviously viable no matter what happens, but he’s a much better play if Durant is out. He sees his usage go up close to 5% and will see at least 4 or 5 extra shots. In addition to the ball being in his hands every possession, instead of splitting down the stretch with KD. You also have Draymond Green questionable, though he doesn’t really take away any shots. His absence would just help keep the game more competitive, which inevitably helps Curry. The match-up is certainly nice with the Mavs ranking 21st against PG’s. Dennis Smith Jr. is a rookie, but you also have no help underneath the rim. Curry will be able to get open from anywhere on the floor and should be a safe bet for 50+ if KD is out. If KD plays, I doubt I’ll have nearly as much exposure to Curry as I plan. I’d rather pay down and look up to a star elsewhere. Raymond Felton FD - $3500 DK - $3400 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 12.46 DK - 12.55 We have a questionable Russell Westbrook, so Raymond Felton has to be touched on. He’s seeing 15 minutes a night with Westbrook in, so you’d have to assume he gets to at least 30 if he sits. He’s minimum priced across the board and someone who always produces when given the opportunity. He knows how to run the offense and will make sure George and Carmelo will have plenty of looks. It’s obviously a bit of an unknown as to how Felton would play with the main unit, but he’s averaged 1.06 FP per minute, so there’s that. The Lakers rank 20th against PG’s and aren’t on the way up. Felton will grab the worst defender on...
Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball FanDuel & DraftKings Picks – 2/7/18
Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/7/18 Welcome to NBA Wednesday! While we typically have 10-15 games on most Wednesdays, we're sitting with just six tonight. It's not a bad slate by any means, but we're just used to a lot more. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA optimizer, our NFL Optimizer, and our new player lab!

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Cory Joseph FD - $4900 DK - $4600 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 26.12 DK - 26.16 Joseph Young FD - $3700 DK - $3000 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 11.4 DK - 11.37 We dive in at PG with some very interesting value options. As we sit, Darren Collison has been ruled out and Victor Oladipo is questionable. Joseph saw 35 minutes with Collison out last game and is once again a top play on the slate in every format. Lock him in for 30+ minutes and 25+ fantasy points. If you've been playing NBA DFS for some time, you know just how productive of a backup Cory Joseph is. We then get to Joe Young, who's a lot more reliant on Oladipo missing. He saw 27 minutes last game and would have to be considered in this match-up. We know the Pelicans are a porous defense, but ranking dead last against PG's and 27th against SG's is just crazy. Especially when you have a guy like AD under the rim. Both of these guys are far too cheap and Joseph is a cash game lock. If Oladipo is out, I'll have a ton of exposure to both. Ish Smith FD - $6300 DK - $5600 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 33.35 DK - 33.13 Ish Smith is still hovering around that $6k mark and will be in play every game until Reggie Jackson returns. Smith is always an exceptional DFS player and this stint has been no different. He’s only been under 20 once and is typically between 30-40. He now gets his best match-up yet, the Brooklyn Nets. Aside from the Pelicans, the Nets are the worst team in the game against PG’s. Dinwiddie is not only a terrible defender, but he has no help behind him. And no, Jarrett Allen hasn’t been any better under the rim than anyone else has been. On defense at least. Assuming Smith gets his 30+ minutes (three of last...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Devin Booker has been ruled out against the Lakers The Suns ruled out Booker yesterday and announced Tyler Ulis as the starter. He's going to see 30+ minutes and we'll get to him in a bit. T.J. Warren and Josh Jackson will also pick up 5-10 minutes each and both deserve a ton of attention in all formats. Troy Daniels could also see close to 30 minutes and he's close to minimum price. I don't hate him, but he's clearly a secondary option. John Henson has been ruled out against the Knicks This one is a pretty big surprise. Henson is picking up 30 in most games, so there is a lot of opportunity here. With that being said, I don't think it's very clear. With Jabari Parker back and on a minutes limit, you can't let him loose. You also have Tyler Zeller who they just traded for and Marshall Plumlee behind him, so it's pretty messy. I'll be staying away from this situation, but Parker is the one guy I'd take a chance on. What We're Waiting to Know Wayne Selden is questionable to play for the Grizzlies Selden has been picking up 30+ a night, so there may be some minutes up for grabs. With Mario Chalmers back as of last game, he and Ben McLemore are the biggest candidates to pick up minutes. I'm tempted to take a chance on Chalmers, but neither of them are safe. Harrison is where I'll stay at in cash games in a solid match-up with Atlanta and their 27th ranked PG defense. Jonathon Simmons is questionable to play against the Cavs With Aaron Gordon already ruled out, Mario Hezonja can be locked into his 30+ minutes. If Simmons is also out, Wes Iwundu and Arron Afflalo will pick up minutes. Personally, I'll stay away. With that being said, I'll take the guy who gets the start if I have to pick. The match-up against the Cavs is fine as they rank dead last against SF's and neither of them will see Lebron James defense. Every Lineup Guys Tyler Ulis FD - $3700 DK - $4200Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 22.82 DK - 23.05 With Devin Booker out, Ulis is grabbing...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Kemba Walker FD - $9000 DK - $8800 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 43.61 DK - 44.67 Welcome to NBA Monday! Super Bowl Sunday delivered us a big surprise with an Eagles W, but now we have to move on. We have 7 games to look at and none that really stand out. None really stand down either as useless affairs with low totals. Every game Vegas has dropped so far is sitting between a 210 and 214 total. They're also all within 6 points, so expect them to be close. We'll open up point guard with the most expensive option on the board, Kemba Walker. Walker and the Hornets have been absolutely phenomenal as of late and his chemistry with Dwight Howard is impeccable. He's seeing 35-40 minutes in most games and saw just 34 last night against the Suns. He should be plenty ready for a full run tonight against a weak Nuggets defense. On the season, the Nuggets rank 23rd against point guards. Jamal Murray is an average defender, but the problems come when you get past Murray. Jokic and Lyles are atrocious rim protectors and it's why they rank 26th in FG efficiency in the paint. His price is getting up there, but it makes sense when you look at the consistency and constant ceiling. Don't be afraid to start off at PG with some safety. Ricky Rubio FD - $7000 DK - $6500 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 31.48 DK - 31.61 There's a difference between chasing points and jumping on a guy that's in a different spot than we're used to. Ricky Rubio isn't playing like this for no reason. He's had the ball in his hands a ton over the last 5 games (24% usage) and has been a lowkey consistent option for the better part of a month now. He's shooting a lot more than he ever has and seems to be asserting himself as the controller of this offense. Donovan Mitchell is currently questionable and would obviously steal some usage, but he's been in for all but 1 game, so it's not a deal-breaker. If you've been playing NBA DFS this year, you're well aware of this match-up....

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Kyrie Irving has been ruled out against the Hawks with a quad injury Irving will join Shane Larkin, who will continue to miss as well tonight. That leaves Terry Rozier as the clear starter and a guaranteed 30+ minutes. He put up a triple-double without Irving last game and while that's obviously a bit much to expect, it speaks volumes to how he plays. He spreads it around like crazy and it gives him a phenomenal floor. Semi Ojeleye will grab 25 and is a decent punt play for tournaments. For me, Rozier is a stone cold lock in cash games. What We're Waiting to Know Giannis Antetokounmpo, Eric Bledsoe, and Malcolm brogdon are all questionable to play There's a lot to look at here. Giannis is obviously the biggest of the bunch and easily the most important. Let's just pretend like all 3 of these guys miss. It would make Khris Middleton close to a must play in all formats. We'd also see a ton of minutes out of Sterling Brown, who's minimum-priced around the industry and not a bad DFS player at all. Now if Antetokounmpo plays and Bledsoe misses, Antetokounmpo will have the ball in his hands a ton and has to be considered in at least tournaments. if everyone plays, I don't have much interest in the situation. My beat on the situations is they all sit, which would make 3 or 4 guys very serviceable in all formats. Khris Middleton leads the bunch. Myles Turner is questionable with a knee injury The injuries just keep on coming for Turner. Sheesh. It seems like every single week he's opening up with a different injury. At least we know what to do. Domantas Sabonis and Thad Young are both now locked into minutes and both should be well over 30. Sabonis is the guy with more upside, but Young was dominating when Turner was out last time. They are both still priced up and you don't really have to go with either in a slow-paced affair. Sabonis and Young are fine if Turner misses, but you can probably do better with a Frank Kaminsky. GRAB A FREE TRIAL OF OUR PROJECTION SYSTEM, AND CHECK OUT DFSR PRO! START...
