FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Wednesday, 11/27/19
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 11/27/19 This is going to be a bonkers slate. We're looking at a potent 14-game schedule, which is easily the largest slate of the season. That means it's going to be as important as ever to monitor lineups and injury reports, as there will surely be value that opens up in the final hour before lock.

Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $9200 DK - $8600Opponent - OKCProj Pts FD - 43.74 DK - 45.4 These price tags are truly shocking. Lillard should be a five-figure player on both sites but he remains way too cheap for some unknown reason. The production speaks for itself, with Dame averaging 49 DK points per game for the season. The usage backs that up, with Lillard leading the team with 37.4 minutes, 19.3 shots and a 27.3 percent usage rate. That's bad news for an Oklahoma City defense who allows the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season. Patrick Beverley FD - $5900 DK - $5000Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 28.04 DK - 27.4 Beverley has been outperforming his price tag all season long and he should be in for a big night with Kawhi Leonard likely resting in the second half of a back-to-back set. So far this season, Pat is averaging 25 DraftKings points across 30 minutes a game. That average is really all you can ask for from a $5,000-player, especially when he's looking at a monster usage increase. The matchup is simply the icing on the cake, with the Grizzlies ranked 24th in defensive efficiency and 28th in points allowed. If Ja Morant is out, Tyus Jones should start and be one of the chalkiest players on the slate. Shooting Guard Jimmy Butler FD - $9100 DK - $8000Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 47.1 DK - 45.4 Butler has turned the Heat into one of the most dangerous teams in the NBA and he's definitely a major reason why. Not only does he have at least 33 DK points in 13 of his 14 games this season, Butler is also averaging 43,3 fantasy points per game. That...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Tuesday, 11/26/19
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday, 11/26/19 What a weird slate. It’s a two-gamer that starts at 8:30 EST before we have a massive Wednesday slate leading into Thanksgiving. That means the pickings are going to be awfully slim here and there will be some Clippers’ news that will almost definitely effect rosters.

Point Guard Jamal Murray FD - $7200 DK - $7400Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 37.41 DK - 38.28 Murray looks very much like close to a lock oaths short slate against a Washington team ranked dead last in defensive efficiency and playing a super fast pace. Murray is a score-first point guard but has been shooting with crazy volume over the short term, averaging close to 20 shots over the last four games with two of them seeing double-digit three-point attempts. He should be chucking from the rafters in this one as well and at these prices is a play on both sites. Luka Doncic FD - $12100 DK - $11400Opponent - LACProj Pts FD - 62.38 DK - 66.73 It’s a super short slate and Luka is the most expensive player going, but for good (great) reason. He’s been un-freaking-believable in his second season averaging 31 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds over his first 16 games. It’s really something to behold from the 20 year old and he’s entered the discussion as one of the best overall players in the game right now. The only issue we are dealing with on this slate is his price. He’s incredibly expensive and considering the limited player pool, if no real punt options open up then it might be hard to fit the number with any kind of balance in the lineup. But it could also look like a tough fade. In the end, I think we get there on Doncic in lineups, but it might be close. Other Thoughts If the Clippers end up resting folks on the front end of the back-to-back then Patrick Beverley (FD $5600 DK $4700) could look like a nice price option at point guard. This will be a theme of this article, namely, what the Clippers are going to do. Heading into the holiday weekend, take a listen...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Monday, 11/25/19
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Monday, 11/25/19 It's a packed Monday in the Association and we've got a big slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. Let's take a look at some of the value plays as well as the relevant injury info we'll be keeping an eye on heading into lineup lock.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Trae Young FD - $9700 DK - $9800Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 52.73 DK - 56.92 Trae went completely bananas last game, pouring in a triple-double of 30 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in a loss to the Raptors. He was taking logo-distance threes and finished 11-23 from the field in his 41 minutes. The Hawks haven’t been shy about giving him major run when the games stay close and that should be the case against the Timberwolves on Monday. The Timberwolves are merely an average defensive team that runs one of the fastest paces in the league so far this season. With heavy ownership on Saturday’s slate, Young could see similar numbers on Monday considering the past performance and the matchup here. He makes for a high floor cash game play on both sites at these prices. Brad Wanamaker FD - $4000 DK - $4300Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 29.29 DK - 29.02 Wanamaker has been a solid member of the Celtics’ rotations even before the Kamba Walker injury and it stands to reason that will pick up some with the latter suffering a blow to head last game and sitting this one out. Wanamaker won’t have a ton of usage playing with the starters (assuming that’s what the Celts do) but should see minutes in the lower 30’s at least. Semi Oleleye started the second half for Walker, but Wanamaker still ran 27 minutes against Denver, dropping 14 points and four assists. Coming very cheap on both sites, he makes for an excellent plug and play punt option on Monday against the Kings and I think he sees higher ownership on this slate. Other Thoughts Ky Bowman (FD 4600 DK 5800) is interesting on FanDuel at sub $5K if Draymond Green sits again. The latter not playing would give more ball handling duties to the Warriors’ guards and just open...

Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Jamal Murray FD - $7200 DK - $7300 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 35.99 DK - 36.8 It's hard to imagine Murray not hitting some pretty huge ownership today. Phoenix isn't as bad on defense as they've been in the past, but they are playing a top 10 pace, and on a four game slate that means they are one of the best match-ups going. For his part, Murray is just underpriced relative to his current opportunity. As we saw in the Boston game, Murray has 38 minute upside, and that's a fantastic deal for a guy who will average a little bit more than a fantasy point per minute. Everything is trending up for Murray at the moment. He's got 11 steals in his past three game. He's actually exceeded his season averages in every stat except rebounds in that stretch. Grabbing him on a small slate as a high floor play seems pretty easy to me. Tyler Johnson FD - $4200 DK - $4200 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 20.79 DK - 21.17 Frank Ntilikina FD - $4400 DK - $4500 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 23.34 DK - 22.44 With the two best point guard plays of the day going in the 3:30 game, we are left with precious little to choose from at PG today. I can see a strong case for running either of these cheapies, though. Ntilikina's production hasn't always been there, but since returning to the team he's clearly been in line for 32-37 minute rotations in close games, and Vegas only sees the Knicks as two point dogs to the Kyrie-less Nets. Johnson is another guy whose price should be on the rise, as the 30 minute rotations he's playing right now are not accounted for in his price. He becomes unplayable if Rubio plays, but that looks unlikely at this point. All in all both of these represent a way to get away from a tough position cheaply. Shooting Guard Spencer Dinwiddie FD - $7900 DK - $7700 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 42.01 DK - 43.42 Dinwiddie has been...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Saturday, 11/23/19
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 11/23/19 This is the sort of slate that you're going to need to monitor lineups and injury reports. The reason for that is because we have so many teams playing the second half of a back-to-back set. In fact, we have the Hawks, Hornets, Bulls, Cavaliers, Pistons, Lakers, Heat, Spurs and Jazz all playing in the back end of a B2B. We also have the Pelicans, Knicks and Suns playing the front-end of a B2B and that may cause chaos in this slate.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Trae Young FD - $9600 DK - $9800Opponent - TORProj Pts FD - 47.27 DK - 49.57 Young was a guy that I was skeptical about coming into the league but this dude is a straight baller. Averaging 48 DK points per game tells you everything you need to know, collecting 26.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 8.6 assists and 1.7 steals per game. That makes it pretty surprising that he remains below $10,000 on both sites, as it's hard to argue with his sky-high usage. Not only does he lead Atlanta with 20 shots a game, Young is also one of the league leaders with a 34 percent usage rate. He was chalk on Friday night and came up short because of the blowout. I think we can still go back for value on Saturday. Aaron Holiday FD - $4000 DK - $6600Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 33.22 DK - 33.92 Excuse my language but what the hell is this FanDuel price? He was actually a little cheaper on Monday and it blows my mind that they only got it up to $4,000. In that victory over the Nets, Holiday was about 50 percent owned and provided 24 points, six rebounds and 13 assists in the best game of his career. It's really no surprise when you see his role, with Holiday starting for Malcolm Brogdon. He's also seeing a major boost in usage with Victor Oladipo and Jeremy Lamb injured too and all of that makes this price tag truly shocking. Also consider Shaquille Harrison. The volatile guard just had a monster game starting for Chandler Hutchinson a few days ago and would definitely be in...
