Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $9700 DK - $10600Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 55.41 DK - 58.77 The Warriors need to be in must-win territory basically for the rest of the season to try and maintain at least for the play-in game or even climb up to the 8th seed. That should leave a lot of minutes for Curry down the stretch He’s coming off a 37-point game against the Timberwolves in which he chucked up 27 shots and made six threes. Over the month of April, the dude has shot 47% from three on almost 14 attempts per game which is just stupid. He’s expensive, but in such a great matchup against the Rockets who completely give it up on defense. Luka Doncic FD - $10800 DK - $10900Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 56.03 DK - 59.04 We might go double-expensive at the point guard position on Saturday with Luka coming back after missing Thursday’s game. He should be good to go in this one and the Mavericks could be without Kristaps Porzingis who left last game with knee soreness. Washington runs the fastest pace in the league this season and they are also working with a bottom-third defense. That leaves them one of the best matchups you can get in in fantasy and Luka has as high a floor as anyone on this slate. He hasn’t shot it all that well from three over the last month at only 33% but he’s still averaging 28 points, eight assists, and 7.5 rebounds in that stretch. He’s going to be a tough fade on this slate. Shooting Guard Caris Levert FD - $8100 DK - $8300Opponent - OKCProj Pts FD - 44.13 DK - 44.4 The Pacers could be without a lot of bodies on Saturday when they play the Thunder and Caris has been a guy they’ve leaned on for scoring of late. He took 24 shots against the Nets, putting up 36 points and five assists in the loss. If Indiana is without Malcolm Brogdon in this game then Caris is a near lock in cash games even in this $8K range. He’d handle a lot of the PG duties...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Friday, 4/30/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Friday, 4/30/21 This marks the final day of April, which means the NBA season is winding to an end. There are only about two weeks left in the regular season, and there's a lot of games still to be played. That means every slate from here on out will be pretty big, and that should lead to some chaotic nights. We have eight games here, though, and that's a perfect amount for a well-rounded player pool. With that in mind, let's get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $8000 DK - $9200 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 46.71 DK - 49.43 Everyone in DFS circles knows that Dame is struggling right now, but this might be the perfect time to buy the stock when it's at its lowest. I mean, this $8,000 price tag on FanDuel is criminal for someone as talented as Lillard. All you need is 40 fantasy points for him to be a good value, and that's pretty automatic for him. In fact, he's scored at least 33 FanDuel points in 51 of his 57 games played this season, averaging nearly 50 fantasy points per game. To reach 6X value, he needs just 48 FD points, and he's done that 22 times this season. We definitely think he can reach that in a matchup like this, with the Nets ranked 25th in defensive efficiency. He actually had 22 points and nine assists the one time they played earlier this year, and he did that damage despite shooting 5-of-17 from the field. Ja Morant FD - $7800 DK - $8500 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 38.94 DK - 40.33 This 21-year-old kid has the capability to be one of the best players in the NBA, and he's shown just why recently. Over his last six games played, Ja is averaging 27 points, 6.0 rebounds, 7.7 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. Those numbers make it hard to believe that he's still hovering around $8K on both sites, and it's clear that he's in full-in takeover mode with Memphis battling for their lives. All of that is terrifying news for an Orlando club that traded away their...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Tuesday 4/27/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday, 4/27/21 We're finally getting down to the final few weeks of the NBA season, and it's been an amazing run. We've had some brilliant days, but this is where the good players separate themselves from the great ones. Following rotations and injury reports are more important than ever at this point of the season, and we truly believe that's where one of our major advantages lies. With that in mind, let's kick things off with the best shooter in NBA history!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $9700 DK - $10300 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 51.75 DK - 55.6 This might be a bold statement, but I truly believe that Curry is the most important player in the NBA. This dude changes the sport the way he spreads the court, and it's earned the Warriors a few championships. This is about this slate, though, and Curry is easily one of the best options on the board. Since returning from an injury on March 29, Chef Curry has at least 47 DraftKings points in 13 of his last 14 games. He's actually averaging over 55 DK points per game in that span, making it hard to believe that he's only hovering around $10K. Facing Dallas is a dandy matchup, too, with Curry collecting 57 points, two rebounds, and five assists the last time these two teams faced off. Malcolm Brogdon FD - $8500 DK - $8800 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 46.53 DK - 48.58 The Pacers are one of the most beat-up teams in the NBA right now, and it's led to Brogdon's best stretch of his career. They're currently missing Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner, which has boosted Brogdon's usage, rebounding, and shot attempts. That's crystal clear when you see that MB has at least 38 fantasy points in eight of his last nine games, averaging 48 DraftKings points per game in that stretch. That's why we have this projection where it is, and this matchup might be the best part of this play. Portland currently ranks 29th in defensive efficiency ratings while allowing the most fantasy points in the league to opposing PGs. In their one...

Point Guard Russell Westbrook FD - $11200 DK - $10900 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 52.78 DK - 56.48 Westbrook has made an appearance in cash game lineups on a day-in-day-out basis for weeks now. He's nearly back to MVP Russ levels, hitting at least 49 FanDuel points in every game since April 1st. The Spurs have been a top ten match-up for opposing point guards all season, and I'm looking to Russ as a great pay-up option if we get as much value as we usually do on huge slates like this. Derrick White FD - $5800 DK - $6900 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 37.37 DK - 37.89 White is embarrassingly cheap on FanDuel for what he's been up to recently. He's been in a lot of weird games recently, which has caused his minutes to be all over the place. We saw Pop's plan for him in close games against the Pels, when White played 37 minutes and scored 39 FanDuel points. His time on ball is increasing as well, which has led to more assists and more points recently. It's a dream match-up with the indifferent Wizards, who have allowed the 5th most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards this season. I love White in any format. Keep an eye on Delon Wright. I'm writing this before the Kings' Sunday night game, but there's a good chance he fills in for Fox and is way too cheap for his current opportunity. Shooting Guard Tyrese Haliburton FD - $6100 DK - $6800 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 33.33 DK - 34.2 With Fox out for at least 10 days in the Covid-19 protocol, much of the heavy lifting on offense should fall to Halliburton. This guy was floating around cash game lineups even with Fox handy, so spreading his usage among them is a dream come true for DFS purposes. Dallas plays a slow pace, but their bottom 10 defensive efficiency should allow for plenty of good opportunities for Tyrese to get his. I'm a buyer until the prices move to fairer levels. Fred VanVleet FD - $7300 DK -...

Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $9800 DK - $10500Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 54.18 DK - 57.92 Steph has been on another planet for most of this season, but especially of late. He’s shooting an unheard of 47% from three on almost 14 attempts per game over the last month. This is a stupid number and it has him averaging 38 points (38!) in that stretch. Now on Sunday, he’ll get to face the worst defense in the league, kind of by a lot, in the Sacramento Kings. The Warriors are still very much in win-now mode trying to secure a playoff berth and have been running Curry major minutes. That should continue to be the case on Sunday and he makes a high floor play on both sites and kind of just a bargain on FanDuel. Darius Garland FD - $7300 DK - $7200Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 33.81 DK - 35.25 Collin Sexton has already been ruled out of this game which means we should see a usage and assist uptick for Garland against the Wizards. Garland’s had a real nice sophomore season for the Cavs, shooting 40% from beyond the arc while also getting the assists up to six a game. I love the matchup against a fast-paced Wizards team and considering he should see an uptick just in ball handling minutes, this is a perfect time to buy in the upper-middle tier on Garland. Shooting Guard Tyrese Haliburton FD - $5800 DK - $6200Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 31.59 DK - 32.23 De’Aaron Fox has already been ruled out of this game and the Kings have announced that Halliburton will take his place in the starting lineup. Halliburton gets major bumps across the board this season with Fox off the floor. The latter sees about a 9% uptick in his stage percentage and the assists climb a whopping 15%. His price hasn’t fully corrected for the starting point guard role for the Kings in this matchup so we are buying at a value. They were careful with his minutes earlier in the year, but that might not be the case anymore for the Kings. Caris Levert FD...
