We've got you completely covered. What We Know Larry Nance is out indefinitely with a fractured thumb This one is an overall bummer as Larry Nance is a young guy who just can't stay on the court. As for the fantasy implications, Kyle Kuzma and Julius Randle will step in and be just as good. I'm a bit hesistant wth Randle still as they have showed a lot of caution in his minutes. If you want to take a shto in tournaments, I love it. As for Kuzma, he's my favorite play on the slate and we'll get to him in a minute. What We're Waiting to Know Kristaps Porzingis is considered questionable to play and missed pratice yesterday If Porzingis plays without anyrestrictions, he's one of the top plays on the slate. He will also probably go very under-owned as he's had the Q tag all day. If POrzingis happens to miss this game, Enes Kanter and Tim Hardaway Jr. get the biggest bumps. Everyone else in the starting lineup can be slated for 3 or 4 more shots as well. Myles Turner is a GTD against the 76'ers Turner has been out for a while, so we know what happens if he is out. If he plays, I'll stay away from the Pacers big anyway. There's too many other options and we don't know how the minutes will be distributed. I guess he could take 3 or 4 shots away from Oladipo, but I still love him. Every Lineup Guys Kyle Kuzma FD - $4700 DK - $4700 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 15.68 DK - 16.49 This one isn't too tough. Kuzma was already picking up almost 30 minutes a game and now the starting PF has broken his thumb. You can guarantee 30 minutes with the upside for 40 in the back-back. Kuzma has been a phenomenal DFS player when on the court this season and sees an optimal match-up with the Nets. Kuzma will be the highest owned player on the slate and rightfully so.

We've got you completely covered. Point guard John Wall FD - $9900 DK - $9700 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 52.38 DK - 53.88 John Wall and Russell Westbrook are both going to be popular on the high-end. On FanDuel, Westbrook is a lot safer and I get using him in all formats. On DraftKings, Wall is $2k cheaper, and we'll roll with him. Wall hasn't had the 60 point explosion we've come to expect, but he's been extremely consistent. He has the ball in his hands more than anyone in the league and in a match-up with an Eastern Conference rival, his minutes can be locked in over 35. That foe is the Cavs, who are in the yearly spiral that everyone pretends to make matter. This is, in turn, a pretty big game and I expect both teams to show up. We know Derrick Rose is a bad, bad, bad defender and Wall will get to the hole at will against him. Outside of Rose, Wade or J.R. Smith may take a shot. I don't really think any of them have a chance, which is why you have to love Wall. With a close spread, high total, good match-up and plenty of rest, John Wall is a guy you can build a cash game or tournament around. Westbrook will also take a lot of the ownership, so neither of them will be too highly owned. Goran Dragic FD - $6800 DK - $6600 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 35.19 DK - 36.09 Let's keep the consistency theme here at PG with Goran Dragic. You won't catch him with many 50 FP performances like Wall, but he's around 28-35 fantasy points in almost every game. At under $7k, you can't ask for much more. His 4-50 point upside will flash in the pan a couple times a month and this could be a spot. He faces off with the Nuggets, who don't really have a PG that can play defense. Jamal Murray and Emmanuel Mudisay are both young kids who are everything but sharp on defense. They've allowed the 6th most FP to opposing PG's at 46.6 per game. Through all of these injuries and cold streaks the Heat have endured, Dragic has...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 11/2/17 Welcome back! I've changed things up a bit for just today as we have a very peculiar 2-game slate on our hands. We typically have at least 3 or 4 on Thursday, so it's a bit rough that the NBA is going with this schedule. Anyway, there's still money to be had and good/bad plays to decipher through. Let's go through each of the games in-depth instead of looking at every single person in play at each position.

Golden State Warriors @ San Antonio Spurs Vegas - 218, GS -7 Warriors Stephen Curry FD - $9500 DK - $9000 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 46.61 DK - 48.33 We kick it off at PG like most days with Stephen Curry. Curry and the Warriors head int San Antonio to face a Warriors team that's a shell of themselves. Without Kawhi Leonard, the Spurs are unable to do most of what makes them successful on both sides of the ball. They're also running just a bit more, going from a 96.1 to a 98,2 PACE. It doesn't seem like all that much, but it's a few possessions for both teams where many different stats/FP can be accumulated. The PG spot has also been a problem for the Spurs with Tony Park sidelined indefinitely. Dejounte Murray and Patty Mills have split time and while both are average defenders, they're nothing to Stephen Curry. When Curry is on his game, he's made Pat Beverley look like a truly bad defender. Murray and Mills are no matches. Curry isn't going for insane 60+ fantasy points per night or anything, but he's been very consistent behind Durant and Vegas is telling us this will stay relatively close throughout. Curry has been over 40 FP for 6 straight games and will make it 7 here. If it stays close until the final buzzer, he could reach that 60 that he hasn't gotten to yet. Klay Thompson FD - $6800 DK - $6700 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 33.57 DK - 34.81 If you want to talk about consistency, Klay Thompson is the guy. It's obviously rare for a jump shooter to be so consistent, but Klay Thompson is no run of the mill jump...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know What We're Waiting to Know Hassan Whiteside is questionable to play after missing the last 2 weeks He's looking closer to probable than questionable. On the off-chance Whiteside sits it out, James Johnson and Kelly Olynyk remain interesting plays. IIf Whiteside plays, I guess he's a decent GPP target, but this match-up with the Bulls isn't great anyway. All appeal would be stripped from Johnson and Olynyk. Marc Gasol and Mike Conley are questionable to play These guys are both looking like true question marks and it'll be interesting to see when the news finally drops. The game is 1 hour after lock, so we may or may not hear word beforehand. If both play, I'll stay away from Memphis. If just Conley sits out, Mario Chalmers becomes a top value option on the board. The same can be said for Jarell Martin if Gasol is out. If both of these guys sit, I like Tyreke Evans quite a bit. He's been needed to score and has stepped up in a big way. Orlando is weak on the perimeter and Evans is still too cheap. This game against the Magic is pace-up for the Grizzlies, so I'll look to get exposure if someone does sit out. Jonas Valunciunas and Lucas Nogueira are expected to play, but are officially questionable If you think Valunciunas is going to get 25 minutes, you can play him at his price. I won't do it, but I get it completely. This takes the appeal away from Jakob Poeltl and Pascal Siakam. J.J. Redick is probable to return after missing 2 games It gave Dario Saric the chance to start and he played alright. With Redick expected to be back, I don't have much interest in Saric. McConnell was the other guys benefiting, but he's still interesting with Fultz on the injury list. This game against the 76ers is pretty interesting but Redick doesn't do all that much in the grand scheme of things. Every Lineup Guys John Wall FD - $9700 DK - $9500 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 49.69 DK - 51.56 Wall is the one mainstay in my cash games today, and the optimizer agrees. There's a lot of different ways to...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard John Wall FD - $9700 DK - $9500 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 49.69 DK - 51.56 Halloween night wasn't the biggest NBA DFS slate, but it was full of action. We saw a few guys obliterate value and another couple that looked safe and failed us. We kick off November with a strong set of 12 games that include 6 over a 210 O/U. This bout between the Suns and Wizards is the highest of the bunch, currently sitting at 225.5. It's one of the highest over/under on the season and you won't see much higher all year long. It makes sense, both of these teams play fast and have a willingness to run in the open floor on a consistent basis. On the season, the Suns have allowed the most FPPG (Fantasy Points Per Game) to point guards and it's not close. Through 6 games, they've allowed 58 fantasy points per game to the opposing PG. The Timberwolves rank 2nd at 54. Without Eric Bledsoe, this team has no hope against dominant point guards. Wall certainly fits that category and should deliver as one of the most popular plays of the day. He's going to be a mainstay in my cash games and I doubt that's much of a hot take by the time opinions start rolling in. The match-up is obvious, the price isn't ridiculous, and the position isn't stacked. The recipe for Wall is nearly perfect. Let's hope he can get over 50 FP for the first time. Jarrett Jack FD - $5200 DK - $4700 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 24.33 DK - 24.44 Both sites have upped the price on Jack a bit, but not enough to take him out of consideration in a fast-paced match-up with the Rockets. Jack has gotten the start for the past 3 games and has been over 25 FP in each. He now sees a team that's without their starting point guard and relying on James Harden/Eric Gordon to take most of the minutes at the position. Neither are good defenders and it's why they've allowed the 8th most FP since Paul went out. At 34 years old, Jarrett Jack may not be able...
