We've got you completely covered. What We Know Kawhi Leonard has been ruled out for an indefinite amount of time This is just a bummer. Things just keep popping up with Kawhi and the medical staff has advised he "get put back on ice". Whatever that means definitely doesn't sound good. With Leonard out, we're going to see Kyle Anderson jump back into relevancy. He's an elite value play in all formats against an atrocious Nets defense. LaMarcus Aldridge will also be the number 1 option on the offense again and has to be considered at a depressed price tag. On the Nets side, DeMarre Carroll will see a better match-up and is already a strong play in all formats. This news opens up a lot. Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala have been ruled out against the Bulls Jordan Bell will grab the start for Green and is one of the top value plays on the entire slate. Kevin Durant may also see an extra few minutes with Iggy out, but only if the game remains close. If you think this game does stay close, Curry and Durant are elite everywhere. if you think it's a blowout, just go with Jordan Bell and bank on the 25+ minutes no matter the score. Omri Casspi could end up picking up some minutes, but he's not an option in DFS. Lonzo Ball has been ruled out against the Thunder Lonzo missed a week or so earlier this month, so we know what to expect for the most part. Tyler Ennis should grab the start and he jumps into the spotlight as close to a must at minimum-price. If he does get the start, plug Ennis in for a cash game lock. Jordan Clarkson will also grab a bunch of minutes at PG and will be back over $7k before long. The Thunder play fast and there are plenty of ways to go in this game. Tyler Johnson has been ruled out against the Bucks With Goran Dragic already seeing more minutes than the Heat would like, I don't think much happens here with him. Instead, most minutes should go to Wayne Ellington and Josh Richardson. Both are great plays against a Bucks squad that will keep it competitive. Nobody in this...

Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $12000 DK - $11600 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 56.21 DK - 59.8 After a polarizing 4-game slate last night, the NBA has blessed us with a very solid Wednesday slate. 10 games are just the perfect balance between a shirt slate and one that just has too many options. Every game is interesting and deserves to be dissected. We’ll kick it off with a huge surprise in Russell Westbrook. Westbrook is back over $12k and rightfully so. He’s putting up 50+ fantasy points on a nightly basis and driving in 60-70 upside quite regularly. He now gets a match-up against one of the weakest defenses in the league in the Lakers. They’re average on paper against point guards, but play at the 7th fastest PACE. Westbrook played just 27 minutes against these guys in a blowout 2 weeks ago and put up 48 fantasy points in the process. He will easily get over 60 if the game stays close. Lonzo Ball is currently questionable to play, which would turn an already messy defense into a dumpster fire. He’s a great play in all formats with a 50-70 range that is reliable as can be. The price is high, but there is value on this slate and Westbrook could easily be worth it. Stephen Curry FD - $9800 DK - $10400 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 50.5 DK - 52.34 If you're not able to pay all the way up for Russ, Stephen Curry is quite the pivot. We know the Chicago Bulls are absolutely atrocious on defense and especially against PG's. Kris Dunn is a league-leader in steals, but takes a ton of chances. The Bulls rank 23rd in the league against PG's at 45.6 FPPG. Vegas is yet to drop a line on this game, but I don't think the spread will be over 10 or 11. If these Warriors are given their full allotment of minutes, we'll see 4 or 5 of them destroy value. The Bulls do have some firepower that can be uncovered and I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him hang with Golden State inside Chicago. He's been over 33 minutes in each of...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Jarrett Jack FD - $5600 DK - $5000 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 27.43 DK - 28.01 We have 2 very different slates on our hands tonight. During the day, we have 5 games with a lot of value. At night, 4 super solid games and a lot of decisions to make. We'll start with the early slate and one of the more obvious picks. Jarrett Jack is an extremely solid option. He might end up being one of the more popular options on the entire slate, but that's fine. Over the last 3 games, he's been at 32, 44, and 45. He has dominated and while it obviously won't last, we should be riding this wave. Especially in a match-up with a Nets team that can't cover PG's. He's been at 33, 36, and 40 minutes, which never hurts. He's still priced under $6k on both sites and is an easy pick in all formats. Jack can be counted on for 25 with the upside for 40-50. Spencer Dinwiddie FD - $6400 DK - $6600 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 34.62 DK - 34.88 We'll kick things off on the early slate with a pretty subpar position. We have John Wall on the high-end in a tough match-up with an injured Kyle Lowry under him. We'll instead pay down a bit for Spencer Dinwiddie, who's been phenomenal as of late. He's been over 35 minutes in 4 of the last 6 games and has hit value in each. Tonight, he gets an optimal match-up against the Knicks, who rank dead last against point guards. Aside from Jarrett Jack being old and a horrible defender, he doesn't have any help behind him. Dinwiddie is the main aggressor on this Nets team and the only way they can really stay competitive in most games. This early slate doesn't offer up the best match-ups at point guard and Dinwiddie is a stone cold lock in cash games. He needs to get you to 30 in cash games and close to 40 in tournaments. There are definitely other ways to go, but Dinwiddie is the top clear cut point-per-dollar option at the position. Chris Paul FD - $10800 DK...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Stephen Curry has been ruled out against the Bucks Curry missed last game, so this isn't a huge surprise. We know what to expect for the most part and we definitely don't want to overreact. Patrick McCaw and Shaun Livingston will both see 20-25 minutes, but I don't have a desire to play either. Instead, I'll look towards one of Thompson, Durant, and Green. Durant sees the biggest bump of all and is in play in all formats in what should be a close game. With a 223 over/under, this is a game you'll want exposure to and this Curry news just concentrates the Warriors. Marquese Chriss has been ruled out against the Rockets Chriss played just 10 minutes before getting hurt last game. Dragan Bender came in and ended up playing 39 minutes, putting up 43 fantasy points. He's always productive when on the floor and it just comes down to the minutes. He's the top play on this slate and we'll get to him in a minute. Len, Chandler, or Monroe could pick up some minutes, but you have more testicular fortitude than I if you can roster any of them. The Suns big men are still unpredictable and Bender is the only guy I have much interest in. Gary Harris has been ruled out for personal reasons Harris is a guy we ignore on most slates, but he plays huge minutes and takes a lot of shots. Will Barton is the easy pick to take over and he should get close to 40 minutes. Other than him, Beasley and Mudiay may pick up a few. I have no interest against a Grizzlies defense that is better than any other on the slate. Barton is fine in tournaments, but you can probably do better. What We're Waiting to Know Anthony Davis is questionable against the Blazers AD ended up sitting against the Grizzlies and it allowed a few guys to go off. We know DeMarcus Cousins is the biggest benefactor here and he will be one of the top plays on the slate if Davis is ruled out. He sees his usage go from 32% to 38% and also sees a couple extra minutes. His ceiling rises to 80-90...

'Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 1/12/18 Welcome to NBA Friday! We have 9 games on the board tonight and a whole lot to go through. With 3 games already releasing with a 217+ total, it's going to be a fun night. We have a few superstars to pay up for and a few concrete value plays, but not a whole lot of obvious glue guys between. Let's jump into the action and take a look at the top picks at each position.

Point guard Chris Paul FD - $10800 DK - $10600 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 53.88 DK - 56.01 We'll kick it right off with a game that deserves a lot of attention on this slate. With a 227 over/under and just a 6 point spread, we'll look to target guys from both sides. Starting with Chris Paul, he's been dynamite without James Harden. Like we expected, the ball is in his hands for what seems like 80% of every possession and he rarely isn't involved in the final shot. He hit his 70 fantasy point ceiling last game against the Blazers and will do it a few more times while Harden remains out. This match-up with the Suns couldn't be better. Aside from playing faster than anyone in the league, they can't cover guards. On the season, they rank 21st against PG's with 47.1 FPPG allowed. CP3 is a lock for 45 and I don't think it's crazy to expect 60. He is just so consistent in this role and the match-up is perfect. You will find him in every single lineup of mine, full disclosure. Rajon Rondo FD - $5300 DK - $5900 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 27.2 DK - 27.7 We'll now dip into the low/mid-range with Rajon Rondo. He's been over 30 minutes in 2 straight games and it's the only thing that ever keeps him off of our radar. Rondo would be a $7k player if he got 30+ minutes for a month straight. It's just a fact. He's always active when on the floor and fills up the stat sheet as much as any guard in the league. Tonight, he's facing off with the Blazers. On the season, they rank in the top 10 against...
