Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $10800 DK - $10700Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 55.68 DK - 58.66 Luka is coming on the back-to-back on this slate, like most other players here. Houston will be without most of their starters seeing as how Christian Wood and John Wall remain injured plus Victor Oladipo could rest on the back-to-back. It should leave Doncic without too much defensive resistance. He’s actually improved his stats on last season which is remarkable and is averaging 27 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists while also slightly cutting down on the turnovers. This is a smash spot for Luka and he’ll make for a tough fade in cash. Jalen Brunson FD - $4300 DK - $4800Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 25.39 DK - 26.49 Sticking with the same game, Jalen Brunson has found himself in the starting lineup consistently now with Dorian Finney-Smith out and has capitalized on the opportunity. Over the last three games, he’s averaging 31 minutes on the floor and putting up and averaging 16 points, four assists, and three rebounds per. The usage has also been solid and he’s getting up more than 10 shots per game. Like I said with Luka, Dallas is just in such a good matchup here against the Rockets who will be playing with most of their second unit. If Jimmy Butler sits out again, then I think Goran Dragic (FD 5700 DK 6200) is still in play on FanDuel. Shooting Guard Kendrick Nunn FD - $6500 DK - $5600Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 32.03 DK - 33.37 Jimmy Butler might return for this game, but Tyler Herro remains out. I think there should still be plenty of opportunity for Nunn even with him coming off the bench in the last few games. In the last three, he’s blown it out of the box playing more than 34 minutes in each and averaging some career-best numbers with 23 points, six rebounds and four assists...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Friday 1/22/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Friday, 1/22/21 After a meager three-game slate on Thursday, we're back at it with 11 games here. That's actually one of the largest slates we've had all year and that makes the player pool absolutely huge. That's why we're here though, to help you guys limit the pool and throw out some good values. So, with so much to talk about, let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Coby White FD - $6100 DK - $7000 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 30.03 DK - 32.07 White is actually coming off his two worst games of the season but it's lowered his price way too much. This dude was $1,000 more on each site before that poor stretch, turning into one of the best young players in the NBA. Before those two duds, White was averaging 19.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 6,5 assists across his previous 10 outings. That's really good fantasy production despite failing to provide any defensive statistics and it's just a matter of time before he adds a steal per game to that too. If he can regain that form at this price tag, White would be one of the best values out there. One of the big reasons why we believe he can is the matchup, with Charlotte owning a 23rd OPRK against opposing point guards this season. Goran Dragic FD - $5200 DK - $6000 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 29.02 DK - 30.96 With Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro looking likely to miss another game here, Dragic should be running the show yet again for Vice City. With those two off the floor this season, Dragic has a 29 percent usage rate while averaging 1.1 DK points per minute. That's evident when you see that The Dragon has at least 30 DraftKings points in each of the last four fixtures. One of those happened to come against this Raptors team which currently ranks 17th in total defense. That makes these price tags hard to understand and Dragic should be locked into every lineup if Herro and Butler are ruled out yet again. If Jalen Brunson gets another start, he's a great punt...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Thursday 1/21/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Thursday, 1/21/21 After a monster 10-game slate on Wednesday, we have a three-game ledger here. That's commonplace for Thursday nights though because the NBA loves to have showcase games on the TNT broadcast. That's certainly evident when you look at the game of the night, which features the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers. That's a Finals preview for many people and it will obviously be a major focus in our article with only three games on the docket. With that in mind, let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Jrue Holiday FD - $7600 DK - $6600 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 37.88 DK - 37.38 These price tags seem pretty crazy. Holiday has been a $9,000 player for a good amount of his career and a number of blowouts have limited his production this season. The good news is that this game is expected to be close which means we should get 35 minutes from Jrue. That's really all we can hope for with Holiday averaging over 34 fantasy points per game in just 32 minutes a night. If you look at the eight games where Holiday has played at least 34 minutes, Holiday scored at least 33 fantasy points in each of them en route to a 39-point average. Point guard is actually one position you can exploit the Lakers defense too, with Dennis Schroder being a lackluster defender. Elfrid Payton FD - $5300 DK - $5800 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 30.83 DK - 31.7 Elf has been in this article a ton this season and it's really hard to understand why he remains below $6,000 on both sites. Since struggling in the first two games, Payton is averaging 27 DK points per game across 30.4 minutes a night. We're talking about a dude who provides rebounds and assists at ease and it's amazing that he's receiving 30-plus minutes and 13 shots a game in that span too. All of that makes this price tag hard to understand, especially when you consider that Golden State ranks 25th in total defense. Eric Bledsoe has been extremely inconsistent but is too good to be this...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Wednesday 1/20/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 1/20/21 Let's call a spade a spade. Tuesday's slate was already ugly when we saw that there were only two games but they ended up being two disgusting blowouts. That's a disaster for DFS and it led to one of my worst nights of the season. Thanks, Jamal Murray! Anyway, we're back to a full 10-game ledger here and we're ready to bounceback. So, let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $10000 DK - $10400 Opponent - MEM Proj Pts FD - 50.33 DK - 52.66 Lillard is pretty much a good option on every slate but he's almost impossible to fade here. We say that because Portland is without C.J. McCollum, Jusuf Nurkic and Zach Collins. That leaves this offense very thin and Lillard will be happy to take on more minutes, shots and usage. In the first game without those three, Lillard has a 39.3 percent usage rate, tallying 35 points, three rebounds and six assists despite getting blown out. One would have to think we're looking at 40 minutes and 25-30 shots in this role and it honestly wouldn't be surprising to see Lillard flirt with a 50-burger in what's expected to be a close game. Jalen Brunson FD - $3900 DK - $4300 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 26.28 DK - 27.58 If Brunson finds his way into the starting lineup again here, he's one of the best punt plays on the slate. Despite the Mavs being blown out on Monday, Brunson played 27 minutes and provided 20 DK points. That's really all you can ask for from a $4K player he's shown us 50-point upside just last week. The reason we think the minutes and usage will hold is because Dorian Finney-Smith, Josh Richardson and Maxi Kleber all remain out. That means we could be looking at a small-ball game here with Myles Turner missing for Indiana and that only adds to Brunson's intrigue. Ja Morant is averaging over 50 DK points per game in his three healthy games this season and is way too cheap at $7,300. Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $10700 DK - $10900 Opponent...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Tuesday 1/19/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday, 1/19/21 Monday's slate was amazing with games spread all throughout the day but that leaves this Tuesday very thin. In fact, we have just two games on the ledger, with many teams playing on Monday and Wednesday. What's interesting about these slates is the fact that you can't fade chalk. There's inevitably going to be a few players in almost every lineup and it's because raw points are more important than anything. Scores will be lower but we'll try to offer up some value plays to fill out an optimal lineup with those chalky studs. With that in mind, let's talk about these games!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Jamal Murray FD - $7800 DK - $7300 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 33.24 DK - 34.45 Murray has been one of the biggest disappointments for season-long fantasy players but that doesn't really matter for DFS. On the contrary, it makes him even more intriguing for DFS because his price continues to drop. We're talking about a guy who averaged about 50 fantasy points per game in last year's postseason and has the ability to be a five-figure player. He's been finding some of that form recently, scoring 40-plus DraftKings points in back-to-back games. What we really love is that he's averaging 22 shots and 38 minutes a night over his last three games and that alone makes him hard to avoid at this price tag. Mike Conley FD - $7600 DK - $6800 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 35.28 DK - 36.58 Conley has been the opposite of Murray and has been a pleasant surprise for season-long fantasy players. That's definitely evident in his price, going up nearly $2,000 since the start of the season. That's even less surprising when you see that Conley is averaging 16.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.3 steals en route to 34.4 DK points a night for the year. That's the Conley we knew and loved in his Memphis days and it's clear he's running the offense more than Donovan Mitchell at this point. We're really not concerned with him facing an 18th-ranked Pelicans defense either. Shooting Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $8600 DK...
