FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 3/3/21 This first half of the season has been nuts, and it's mercifully coming to an end. This slate is complete bonkers, with 10 games in total and numerous teams dealing with COVID issues. That's obviously going to be a major theme, so let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard LaMelo Ball FD - $8600 DK - $9200 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 49.39 DK - 50.16 Can we admire how special this kid is? He's just 19-years-old, and he's easily a Top-50 player in his rookie season. He's been particularly good recently, scoring at least 41 DraftKings points in seven of his last eight games while averaging 46 fantasy points per game across his last five fixtures. That's a ridiculous total, and he could be asked to do even more here with DeVonte'Graham and Gordon Hayward possibly missing this game. The best part might be this matchup, though, with Minnesota ranked third in pace and 28th in points allowed. In their one meeting earlier this year, Ball had another 46-point gem if you needed any more incentive. Théo Maledon FD - $4200 DK - $4800 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 23.7 DK - 24.7 This is certainly a risky play, but Maledon has carved out a nice little role with the Thunder. He's actually been inserted as the starting point guard with George Hill out of the picture, playing at least 28 minutes in 13-straight games. He's shown some flashes in that stretch, too, averaging 23 DK points per game in that span while dropping a 40-burger two games ago. Getting 23 fantasy points out of a $4,500 player is really all you can ask for, and that shouldn't be tough to duplicate against a 28th-ranked Dallas defense. Kyle Lowry could go nuts with half of the Raptors roster missing. Shooting Guard Terry Rozier FD - $7000 DK - $7900 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 39.72 DK - 41.05 We already discussed how Graham and Hayward could miss this game, forcing Ball and Rozier to take over. Scary Terry is actually in the midst of a breakout season, averaging 34 fantasy points per game....

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday, 3/2/21 With the All-Star break this weekend, we have a ton of games every day this week. Tuesdays usually tend to be lighter, but we have a full seven-game ledger here. That's all we can ask for, and it should be interesting with so much COVID news going on. That has forced the Toronto-Detroit game to be postponed already, and other teams have some issues a well. So, keep an eye on all that before submitting lineups.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Ja Morant FD - $7100 DK - $7000 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 38.26 DK - 39.17 This price seems absolutely ridiculous. It's easy to see why when you see Morant's 23-point dud on Saturday, but that was hardly his fault. It was actually the Rockets fault, limiting Morant to just 25 minutes because of a 49-point blowout. That means we get quite the discount here because we believe Morant should be north of $8K in such an appetizing matchup. This is a Washington team that plays at the fastest pace in the NBA while ranked 27th in defensive efficiency. That's really scary against a guy this talented and athletic, with Ja averaging 36 DK points per game despite the most recent dud. Monte Morris FD - $4800 DK - $4600 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 27.83 DK - 27.96 With all of the injuries in Denver, Morris has established a nice little role for himself. After playing 33 minutes on Monday, Morris has now reached at least 28 minutes in six-straight outings. That's all we can ask for from someone this cheap, and he's been providing some great fantasy value in that stretch too. In fact, MM is averaging 26 DraftKings points per game across his last five outings and should continue to play big minutes with Gary Harris, Paul Millsap, Facundo Campazzo, and JaMychal Green all out of the lineup. With Elfrid Payton out, Derrick Rose has been the starting point guard in New York. Shooting Guard Bradley Beal FD - $10200 DK - $9700 Opponent - MEM Proj Pts FD - 51.59 DK - 52.56 We initially had Fred VanVleet slated in at this spot, but we're...

Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $10600 DK - $10700 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 55.71 DK - 57.98 Tonight's slate is actually a pretty tough one, but there is a reasonable amount of cheap value to go around, leaving us room to pay up for Luka tonight. Doncic's price has dipped a bit after a few weird game scripts, but we know that in normal games he'll be out there for 37+ minute rotations. The Magic have been ruined by opposing point guards this season, allowing the fourth most fantasy points to opposing PGs this year. Luka is a great play in any format. LaMelo Ball FD - $7900 DK - $8700 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 45.19 DK - 46.36 LaMelo is on the fast track to Rookie of the Year honors, and while Lillard was a long shot MVP candidate a couple weeks ago, nobody will mistake him for the defensive player of the year. The Trail Blazers have allowed the fifth most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season, and Ball's production is just headed in the right direction right now. He's getting a little pricey on DraftKings, but this FanDuel price is still pretty choice. Keep an eye on: Malcolm Brogdon. If he misses again, TJ McConnell would be an automatic play. Shooting Guard Terry Rozier FD - $6800 DK - $8000 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 39.78 DK - 41.4 Rozier has cooled down since the incredible four game run he put together in early and mid February, and while his DraftKings price has held constant, his FanDuel price has become too cheap. It's a great match-up with Portland, whose defensive efficiency has fallen to third worst in the league during their current four game skid. Hayward is likely to miss this one with his lingering hand issue, which would certainly sweeten the deal. Shooting guard is very shallow tonight, and Rozier should bring a reasonable floor. Bruce Brown FD - $5100 DK - $5400 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 28.2 DK - 27.85 Don't look now, but everyone's favorite Nets is the unlikely Bruce Brown....

Point Guard Chris Paul FD - $7500 DK - $7800Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 44.39 DK - 46.41 In close games, Chris Paul is playing mid-30s minutes for the Suns. It’s the “close games” part that could be a problem here with Phoenix -10 road favorites against Minnesota on Sunday. But if you can trust the latter to keep the game even remotely close, then this is a great spot for CP3. The Timberwolves are a bottom-third team defensively this season and run a top-5 pace. I like Paul’s FanDuel price a little more than the DraftKings one, but he’s in play on both sites. When the minutes have been there over the last two games, he’s averaging 17 points, 13 assists, and seven rebounds. Derrick Rose FD - $5700 DK - $5700Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 38.06 DK - 37.79 He’s playing on the back-to-back here so I’m a little worried that they manage the minutes on the 32-year-old. But this is also Thibs, so anything is on the table. On Saturday, Rose turned back the clock and had one of his best games in the last few years. He put up 17 points and 11 assists in 38 minutes, helping the Knicks beat the Pacers. This is another good spot against the Pistons on Sunday. The price didn’t really move at all and if the minutes are in the mid-’30s then he’s more than a value on Sunday’s slate. There are lots of good point guard options on this slate and the choices might be tough. It would be totally fine to run John Wall (FD 8800 DK 8300) against the Grizzlies with Victor Oladipo out. Also, LaMelo Ball (FD 7600 DK 8800) could once again be a popular play, especially on FanDuel against the Kings. Shooting Guard Eric Gordon FD - $5300 DK - $6000Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 31 DK - 32.3 Gordon should draw the start for the injured Victor Oladipo on Sunday and should see a lot of minutes. He can push to 34-35 minutes when he’s in the starting lineup and has seen decent usage on this team thanks to all of their injury issues...
