We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Trae Young FD - $10200 DK - $10300Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 50.65 DK - 54.03 These teams played back on December 21st and Trae casually dropped 47 points, eight rebounds and six assists in the 122-112 loss. Atlanta is used to losing, that isn’t anything new, but Young gets his run and shots up almost regardless. Over his last five games, since returning from the ankle injury he’s averaging 37 minutes per game with 32 points and nine assists on more than 21 shot per game. The usage and volume are among the highest in the league and there’s a lot of safety in that especially against a team like the Nets who are likely to pick up the pace with Kyrie Irving reentering the mix. There are plenty of cheaper options on this short Sunday slate so paying up for Young here isn’t going to be too cost prohibitive. JA Morant FD - $7500 DK - $7400Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 36.67 DK - 37.81 This has already been a fairly crazy NBA season and now we get a Memphis team who, after a win over the Spurs on Friday, are the freaking eighth seed in the West. You read that correctly, if the playoffs started today the Grizzlies would be in the playoffs. It’s nuts. But because of the recent run, they’ve let the leash off of Morant and he’s 31 or more minutes in three of the last five games. In the last two he’s averaged 19 shots, scoring 23 points, dishing out 10 assists and putting in five rebounds. I think we continue to see Memphis just give this thing a go considering the state of the West and that should mean a consistently high floor for Morant. Shooting Guard Lou Williams FD - $6400 DK - $6500Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 33.93 DK - 35.41 Paul George will continue missing time, leaving plenty of shots to go...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 1/11/20 With Minnesota and Houston playing an early game, we have six games making up the main slate. The thing that makes today interesting is all of the injuries. Players like Joel Embiid, Blake Griffin, Anthony Davis and Kristaps Porzingis are all sitting out, forcing us to pay up in the front court. With that in mind, let's get started with some back court players and work our way to those high-end big men. 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 NHL Projections as well.

Point Guard Kemba Walker FD - $7000 DK - $7600Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 38.47 DK - 39.97 One flukey thing that these DFS sites algorithms do is lower a player's price after a dud. What it doesn't take into consideration is how that dud happened. An ejection in the second quarter is what's made Walker such a good value here and it's hard to understand why he's so cheap. If you take out that one outlier, Walker is averaging 38 FanDuel points per game across his last 16 outings. That's the production of an $8,500 player on FD. The brilliant matchup is simply a bonus, with the Pelicans surrendering the second-most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season.  Tomas Satoransky FD - $5000 DK - $5500Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 29.34 DK - 29.2 Sato is also coming off a dud in his most recent game and that's lowered his prices to these extremely enticing numbers. Foul trouble is what led to his ugly outing but he was brilliant before that. In fact, Satoransky averaged 31.7 DraftKings points over his previous nine games played. What we really like is that he played 34 minutes a game in that span, establishing himself as the primary point guard for this volatile rotation. We're certainly not worried about Detroit either, with the Pistons sitting 22nd in defensive efficiency.  Also considered: Derrick Rose. Shooting Guard Josh Richardson FD - $6100 DK - $6400Opponent - DALProj Pts FD - 29.42 DK - 29.63 This is the first of many Sixers in this article and it's easy to understand why. With Joel Embiid out for the next few weeks, all of these guys remain great values. We're talking about a big...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Friday, 1/10/20 Welcome, DFSRNation! You've hustled and grinded all week and now get to reap the rewards of a ten-game slate of NBA action to kick off the weekend. Our own Jerry Vanderwoude is ready to break down the top plays at each position as determined by our famous NBA projection system, so brace yourself as we get set to do it to it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Lonzo Ball FD - $6400 DK - $7300Opponent - NYProj Pts FD - 37.25 DK - 38.5 Lonzo Ball is coming to us as a tremendous value at the point. Since returning to the starting five, Lonzo's price has jumped across the industry but there is still plenty of room for growth when you consider the most recent production he's been creating. Ball has started eight straight games and in that time has averaged nearly 36 fantasy points per game eclipsing the 40 point mark three times in his last five starts. For that, he should easily be priced closer to the $8K mark. The Knicks are average defending against the position, so the match-up is nothing to fret over. All in all, it's a buyers market on Ball, and I will be all in with my cash games. Ricky Rubio FD - $6600 DK - $6900Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 35.65 DK - 36.4 Ricky Rubio has hit a bit of a scoring slump over the Suns' last several games, failing to hit double digits in four straight. He's been playing through some ailments, so that could be factoring into play, but he continues to be a steady source of production regardless, dishing out several assists per game while mixing in the rebounds and steals for good measure. In the short term with his scoring woes, Rubio's price has dropped across the industry. This creates appeal in a game against the Magic with a combined pace factor of 102.5 and an opening line favoring Phoenix by just two points. Rubio is priced perfectly for our cash game needs, and if he manages to find his shot he's a threat to crush over 6.5X points per dollar (PPD), so don't be shy to run with Ricky...

It's just a four game slate of NFL DFS action on FanDuel and DraftKings, but there are still a lot of interesting decisions to make. With Joel Embiid out for the Sixers, which of the remaining players should show up in our cash game lineups? Is something up with Al Horford? Is Ben Simmons a must? There's a lot to break down. There's a lot of sneaky DFS value in the Cleveland/Detroit game, which is a rematch of their Tuesday meeting. In that game Love, Drummond, and Rose were excellent. Should we go back to the well? You have the ever-questionable Karl-Anthony Towns, CP3 and Russ going against their old teams, and more! For just four games, there sure is a lot to talk...

Point Guard Chris Paul FD - $7200 DK - $7400 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 40.75 DK - 41.25 Chris Paul has just been awesome this season, and has exceeded basically everyone's expectations for real life basketball and DFS. While he didn't have a great game against the Rockets in their last meeting, he's still been steadily paying these prices all season long so long as the game stays close. This is match-up is against a Rockets team that plays a league average defensive efficiency with the 2nd fastest pace, and given that we are getting Paul at normal prices he looks like a discount here. Point guard is tough tonight, and Paul looks like a nice way to lock in some midrange value. Derrick Rose FD - $6600 DK - $6500 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 36.82 DK - 37.21 Rose started the second half in this very match-up against Cleveland on Tuesday, and wound up playing a season high 31 minutes en route to a very solid 24/3/7 line. It's annoying that the sites have jumped the gun on raising Rose's prices, as it looks like he's finally stepping into the 30+ minute role we all hoped he was capable of. He's scored 30 fantasy points a game this season on 25 minutes per game, so raising that total by 20% means we have a great play for every format against this lousy Cleveland team. Also considered: Russell Westbrook and Damian Lillard, both of whom look like decent pay-up options tonight. Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $11200 DK - $12200 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 64.17 DK - 67.22 A night after Harden likely set the record for highest ownership on a regular slate at a staggering 98%, I think we can go right back to the well here against the Thunder. This actually isn't a good match-up at all, as the back-court duo of Paul and SGA is one of the toughest in the league, but on a night with precious few pay-off options it's just going to be hard to put together a Hardenless lineup if there are any cheap...
