We've got you completely covered. Point guard Kyle Lowry FD - $7900 DK - $7900 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 39.78 DK - 41.35 After 5 pretty fun games last night, the NBA has blessed us with a stellar 9-game slate this Wednesday night. We have a ton of games to dive into and not many that you can wipe off the board. We're going to start in Atlanta, where the Raptors and Hawks will face off in one of the more exciting games of the night. With a 215 over/under and 6 point spread, expect a full allotment of minutes out of the starters. Kyle Lowry has been on fire lately with 30+ in 6 straight and got up to 50 last game. He now sees a tremendous match-up against a Hawks squad that struggles more than any of the teams he has recently diced up. On the season, they rank 19th against the position at 43.6 FPPG allowed. Schroder is not only a terrible defender, but he has no help behind him. Lowry is a lock to do damage when on the floor and he's been in there for 32+ night in and night out. We have some games with higher totals on the slate, but this will stay competitive and Lowry is one of the safest mid-range plays on the entire slate. Under $8k on both sites, he needs to get you around 35 in cash games. Kyrie Irving FD - $8200 DK - $8600 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 41.08 DK - 42.24 Here's another strong option in the mid-range. Kyrie Irving, like Kyle Lowry, offers you a ton of safety. He's going to shoot 20+ times a game and has an incredible match-up with the Clippers. They'll be missing Austin Rivers and Jawun Evans, so expect Milos Teodosic and Sindarius Thornwell to grab the minutes at the 1. Neither are good defenders and it's why the Clippers have been slowly falling down the PG defensive ranks (11th on season, 21st in last 10). Kyrie has been insane on the season as a whole and running extremely hot as of late. He's a lock for over 30 fantasy points and has been around 40 in most. Vegas hasn't dropped...

Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates - 1/22/18 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! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with NBA or NFL? Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. What We Know Jimmy Butler, Kris Dunn, Goran Dragic, Tyler Johnson, DeAndre Jordan, Marquese Chriss, and Rodney Hood will all remain out We know how to handle these guys. Let's dive into some situations that aren't so clear. If you have any questions about these, comment below and I'll get right to them. Giannis Antetokounmpo has been ruled out against the Suns Antetokounmpo was also out last game, but we are looking at a different situation completely with Brogdon in. Sterling Brown will head back to irrelevance, though he still might get 20-25 minutes. Brogdon was dealing with a personal issue, so I think he gets to the 25-40 Brown got last game. Eric Bledsoe and Khris Middleton will both obviously get big minutes and be the 2 highest owned players on the team, and probably the entire slate. I will have both in 100% of my lineups, guaranteeing me more exposure than the field. Jamychal Green has been ruled out against the 76ers (Jarell Martin questionable) This is a situation that may get interesting against a porous 76ers interior. If Martin is cleared to play, he's a phenomenal option in all formats. If he is out as well, my focus moves towards Ivan Rabb and Tyreke Evans. With Ennis and Parsons already out, Rabb will have to get over 25 minutes if Martin is also out. Mclemore and Selden could also pick up 25-30 minutes and have to at least be interesting against the Sixers. All in all, I hope Martin is cleared. He's an easy play for 30+ minutes and 25+ fantasy points. If not, it truly is a crapshoot, but does up the floor of Evans and Gasol. Every Lineup Guys Khris Middleton FD - $8600 DK - $8700Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 42.24 DK - 42.93 I know, obvious. With Giannis Antetokounmpo out, Khris Middleton grabbed a triple-double and 55 fantasy points last game. His usage picked up to 34% and he turned into a guy that would be $10k if Antetokounmpo was out for an extended period of time. He now sees an insanely good match-up with a Suns team that doesn't play defense. Against shooting guards, they rank 22nd in the NBA. Devin Booker is a fine...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Eric Bledsoe FD - $8300 DK - $8200Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 41.7 DK - 41.95 Welcome to NBA Monday! We have just 8 games on the slate tonight and a few very obvious ways to go. We'll start with one of those guys in Eric Bledsoe. With Giannis Antetokounmpo already ruled out and Malcolm Brogdon looking iffy, the minutes are locked in at 35-40. We saw both of these guys sit last game and it resulted in Bledsoe playing 38 minutes. The usage ended up split between Bledsoe and Middleton evenly, both sitting at 27%, way up from normal. Bledsoe has the ball in his hands all game long, which is just not how it is on most nights with point Giannis taking so many looks. We know how fast the Suns like to play and they rank 24th in the league against point guards. Tyler Ulis is extremely small and Bledsoe is going to take advantage wherever he wants. With Giannis out, I think this game stays close and these guys get a full allotment of minutes. It'd be nice for Brogdon to also sit for the sake of Bledsoe, but it's not really necessary. He's going to be one of the most popular plays on the slate and I'll be on board. He's an elite play in all formats at a fair low $8k tag. Milos Teodosic FD - $4800 DK - $5400Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 25.34 DK - 26.81 As long as Austin Rovers remains out with his bruised heel, Milos Teodosic is an excellent way to pay down at PG. He's been over 30 minutes in each of the last 2 games and has put up 28 fantasy points in 2 of the last 3. The 3rd coming against the Jazz in quite a weird game. He is a really good point guard and the Clippers have no problem letting him run the halfcourt offense. He's not at consistent as you'd like out of a ballhandler, but that's more so because of his minutes, or lack thereof. Now that he's getting 30, the price is far too low. He's going to be between 20-30 on most night and go over 30 plenty....

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – 1/19/18

Posted by on Jan 19, 2018 in Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks, featured, News | 5 comments

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 1/19/18 Welcome to NBA Friday! We usually have 10+ games on Fridays, but that's certainly not what we have tonight. We have a 7-gamer on our hands instead that resembles more of an average weekend or Tuesday slate. There are plenty of ways to go, but it's not like a normal Wednesday or Friday where we have 15 options at each position. There are some clear ways to go and a couple spots where to steer clear. 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! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with NBA or NFL? 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 Goran Dragic FD - $7500 DK - $7500 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 37.01 DK - 38.26 We'll open it up with one of the safest plays of all in Goran Dragic. Aside from Dragic already seeing 30+ minutes a night, Tyler Johnson is out. That locks him in over 33 with every single minute coming at the 1, which isn't always the case when Johnson is in the game. Dragic has been dominant as of late with 30+ fantasy points in 7 of the last 9 games. He's often over 40 and easily the most consistent player on this Heat squad next to Josh Richardson. He gets a match-up tonight that couldn't be any better. Literally. The Nets rank dead last against PG's and it has a lot to do with the league-high PACE they play at. Spencer Dinwiddie is also a bad defender and doesn't have any help at the rim. Dragic is a lock for 30 fantasy points with a ceiling in the low 50's. This is one of the simple plays of the day, but could end up overlooked. Ish Smith FD - $6400 DK - $5700 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 32.04 DK - 31.9 Moving down the pricing tier a little bit we run into Ish Smith. He's been great, as expected, with Reggie Jackson out for an extended period of time. Quality-wise, Ish Smith is a top 15 PG in this league and deserves a starting gig. He's dominated everywhere he goes, but is just so small and such a huge liability on defense. Whatever, we're not worried about that. We just care about what he does on offense and it's damn electric. He's easily one of the 3 fastest players in the...

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with NBA or NFL? 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 Isaiah Thomas FD - $5700 DK - $5700 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 32.47 DK - 34.65 We only have 4 games on tonight's slate and we kick it off with what might be the easiest play of all. Isaiah Thomas finally got over 30 minutes for the first time last game and should only be on the way up from here. His price is nowhere near where it should be at just $5700. Once it corrects, we're looking at an $8k-$9k PG, easily. He is definitely the 2nd fiddle on this offense, but the 2nd fiddle to LeBron can average 25 points without an issue and have plenty of breakout games. Sitting in the mid-$5k's is just laughable and I don't see any reason to avoid him in any format. Even as a worst-case scenario, he'll grab 25-28 minutes and just as many FP. In a best-case, he grabs 34 minutes and 50 fantasy points. The Magic are a subpar team defense that has ranked 24th in the NBA against PG's. Not only is Elfrid Payton a bad defender, but he doesn't have any help at all behind him. Thomas is going to hit value with ease here and should be over 50% owned. It's chalk I'm willing to go with everywhere and just make sure I'm over the field. Chris Paul FD - $10400 DK - $9500 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 53.1 DK - 55.46 If you’re looking to pay up at the position, there’s definitely an excellent spot to do so. James Harden is expected to return tonight, but will be limited to just 25 minutes. The Rockets will be without Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green, who take up a lot of minutes and shots themselves. Chris Paul has dominated ever since Harden went down with injury and will continue putting up 45+ fantasy points a night. Most people don’t associate him with a high ceiling, but he can get to 70 pretty easily if a game stays close. The T-Wolves are a strong team defense under Thibodeau, but can struggle against PG’s. Teague is the weakest perimeter defender of the 3 and it’s why the T-Wolves rank 19th in the league...
