Point Guard Malcolm Brogdon FD - $7100 DK - $7400 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 37.36 DK - 38.82 Brogdon was, quite simply, phenomenal in the Pacers' opener against the Knicks. He was efficient on 8-16 shooting, and chipped in a well-rounded 8 assists, 7 rebounds, and 2 steals while he was at it. He played 35 minutes and appeared to be in excellent shape. Tonight he'll draw the Bulls, an average defensive team last year that arguably has gotten worse as it's shifted more minutes to the defensive challenged Coby White. I picture Brogdon rounding into an $8,000 DFS play in short order, and think we're getting a discount here. Dejounte Murray FD - $6900 DK - $6400 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 35.91 DK - 35.61 Speaking of under-priced point guards, Murray put up a Brogdon-esque 21/6/9/2 line against the Grizzlies before losing a few minutes when the game was out of hand. With Derrick White out for this one as well, we can expect Murray to shoulder a similar burden against the Raptors here. While the Spurs played a middle-of-the-pack pace over the course of last season, they were one of the fastest-paced teams in the bubble last year, and I think many players on this squad could be under-priced as a result. Terry Rozier FD - $6400 DK - $7000 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 31.88 DK - 33.46 Any concerns that Lamelo Ball was going to usurp the Charlotte point guard throne have to be at least set aside for the moment, with the Hornets' big-ticket point guard going to town for 42 points from the field an astounding 10 three-pointers against the Cavaliers in the Hornets' opener. He played 38 minutes out of the gate. Ball looked lost and didn't score a point in his 16 minutes on the court. Rozier's job looks safe for the time being, and while you don't love paying significantly more than you did in the opener, his floor looks high enough that you can justify it against a bad OKC team. Shooting Guard Buddy Hield FD - $5600 DK - $7100 Opponent -...

Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $11300 DK - $10700Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 57.92 DK - 62.43 It’s tough to like Doncic running into the Lakers on this slate, though LA looked moderately disengaged and disjointed in their first game of the season against the Clippers. The Mavericks lost their first game against the Suns, though he was once again fantasy elite with 32 points, eight rebounds, and five assists. No defensive stats and that line doesn’t quite get there on the price, but on this slate, I do trust him in the upper tier with the minutes as much as anyone who isn’t named Giannis. Jrue Holiday FD - $7000 DK - $7500Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 36.58 DK - 36.82 Get ready to see a lot of Bucks in your cash game lineups for Christmas Day. They opened the season against the Celtics with a one-point loss, but put up 121 points in that game. From a fantasy perspective, Holiday looked right at home with his new team running 38 minutes, getting up 16 shots; finishing with 25 points, six rebounds, and three assists. The minutes were the real standout in the first game of the season and could signal a new era in Milwaukee in terms of run. He gets the best matchup on the slate against the Warriors with the slate’s highest total. The FanDuel price is a little easier to stomach than DraftKings, but he has a high floor in the middle tier. Stephen Curry FD - $8700 DK - $10200Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 43.82 DK - 46.34 The Warriors got dumped on by the Nets in the first game, but it’s hard to blame Curry who finished with 20 points and 10 assists in his 30 minutes. At his DraftKings price, he’s for sure in play even against the Bucks who didn’t look as defensively sound in Game 1 considering what we’d come to expect from them last season. That being said, this Warriors team might just be bad and I do think there’s real blowout risk. Again, the DraftKings price is likely just cheap enough to survive...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Tuesday, 3/3/20

Point Guard Shake Milton FD - $5700 DK - $6300Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 32 DK - 33.06 The Sixers have been through hell with injuries in the short term with them losing Ben Simmons (no timetable) and then Joel Embiid and now Josh Richardson will sit with a concussion. That’s meant losses in two of the last three but also led to the emergence of Shake Milton as a legit fantasy option. In the last three games Milton has been scoring machine averaging 29 points and five assists per game. He took 20 shots against the Clippers and that number could sustain considering Philly is really short on legit scoring options at this point. This is a bad matchup against the Lakers, but Milton isn’t priced up enough considering the uptick in usage and the Sixers’ woes. De'Aaron Fox FD - $7500 DK - $8000Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 41.7 DK - 42.06 The Kings have won five in a row and are still in the discussion (kind of) for a playoff berth in the Western Conference. On Tuesday they draw a fantastic matchup against Washington who rank as the second worst defensive efficiency in the league this season while also playing a top-six pace. Fox, unlike some other point guards is a little more scoring dependent but the pace-up matchup should lend itself to volume shooting. That being said, there is at least some risk here because the Kings haven’t pressed his minutes beyond 33 in the last two weeks. But he should have a high floor because of the context. If Fred VanVleet remains out then Kyle Lowry (FD 6900 DK 8100) is still in play for cash games. Shooting Guard Devin Booker FD - $7500 DK - $8300Opponent - TORProj Pts FD - 42.29 DK - 44.6 The Suns are without Kelly Oubre and that’s led, in some part, to a ton of minutes in the short term for Booker who’s played 38 or more in four of the last five games. That being said, with defenses focusing a bit more on the Suns’ star the usage hasn’t been there in the way we would...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – 1/29/19
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - 1/29/19 Tuesday in the NBA brings us plenty to ponder with injury issues possibly wreaking havoc on cash games (I’m looking at you Lakers). But there’s also a lot to like about some of the value on the slate and we’ve got you covered for FanDuel and DraftKings picks. Head on over a for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, our NFL Optimizer, and our new player lab!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Rajon Rondo FD - $6900 DK - $6700 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 36.82 DK - 39.45 Since returning from the extended injury absence, Rondo has come in and played major minutes for the Lakers, something that should continue moving forward. In his first two games back, he’s averaging 39 minutes, 12 points, 12 assists and five rebounds per game. Those kinds of numbers (most importantly, the minutes) keep him once again as a cash play on Tuesday. He was overwhelming chalk on Sunday (90% or so on both sites in cash) and things are lining up that way again. The price ticked up some and the matchup against the Sixers is worse than the Suns, but Rondo’s projected minutes are about as high as you’ll see in the game right now. Tomas Satoransky FD - $6700 DK - $6000 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 32.95 DK - 32.92 Satoransky has become one of the more stable, high-minutes’ guys in the league right now because the Wizards are just dealing with a million injuries. He’s played 36 or more minutes in each of the last four games and averaged 15 points, four rebounds and nine assists in that span. He’s not going to be a high usage guy in this offense with Bradley Beal around plus some of their other wings jacking shots. But, almost like Rondo, the minutes seem about as safe as they come for a guy in the middle salary tier. Plus, he draws the dreadful Cavs in a very winnable game for Washington. At $10,600, Russell Westbrook is an excellent DraftKings’ pick. The $11,900 FanDuel salary doesn’t really jive here, but against Orlando I could see Westbrook working his way into lineups on DK. Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $13900 DK - $13600 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 65.02 DK - 67.56 So much for Chris...
