Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $9900 DK - $10600 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 53.65 DK - 57.02 Man, this one is exceedingly tempting, even when you account for the blowout risk. Curry is on a well-documented tear at this point, plowing toward a first-team All-NBA designation. Meanwhile, the Thunder have allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards this season, and those numbers build in times when they had their actual good perimeter defensive players. It's tough for the Dubs to blow people out without Curry's offense, though, so I think he's a great play regardless of the game script. Alex Caruso FD - $3900 DK - $4100 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 20.83 DK - 20.38 This is truly an easy one. With Schroder still in the Covid protocol, Caruso is a near lock for 26+ minutes in what rates to be a tight contest with the Clippers. He paid 6x on these prices last game, and honestly, there is upside for more, even in a tough match-up. Also considered: Reggie Jackson. Shooting Guard Fred VanVleet FD - $8000 DK - $8000 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 43.18 DK - 43.75 VanVleet is a funny recommendation because while the recent game log paints a picture of a fantastic value at these prices, it's easy to forget that both of those games were without Lowry. With Lowry left off the injury report for tonight's game, we can't expect FVV to be at quite those levels, so what do we do? Well, we readjust our expectations for the match-up. The Wizards have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing shooting guards this season, and this game has the second-highest total on the slate. There isn't huge upside here, but there is enough floor that you can run him in cash. Paul George FD - $8800 DK - $9500 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 46.87 DK - 48.86 Shooting guard gets thin quickly, but this FanDuel price on George might be too good to pass up. George sat near 10k for weeks, and our model isn't ready to...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 5/5/21 Woof! These last two weeks are going to be something! It's already been nuts with all the resting and random "injury" designations, and it's only going to get weirder from here on out. The good news is that we have a lot of information available ahead of this slate, so hopefully, we have a good grasp on how things will play out. We also had a big night on Tuesday behind Giannis Antetokounmpo, Delon Wright, and Hamidou Diallo, so let's build on that momentum.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Delon Wright FD - $5200 DK - $5600 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 35.85 DK - 35.08 Wright was my favorite play of the day on Tuesday, and we're obviously going right back to him. He started at point guard with Tyrese Haliburton, Harrison Barnes, and De'Aaron Fox all out, posting one of the best all-around stat lines of the season. In fact, he finished with 13 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, four steals, and four blocks in that majestic performance, providing 55 fantasy points across 37 minutes of play. We talked about how much he stuffed the stat sheet in his time with Detroit, and this sort of game shows just how versatile he can be. Indiana has been terrible recently, too, allowing at least 130 points in three of their last four games. Austin Rivers FD - $3600 DK - $3400 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 20.01 DK - 20.5 This play is obviously risky, but Rivers could play some big minutes here. We say that because of this injury report, with Jamal Murray, Will Barton, Monte Morris, and PJ Dozier all likely to sit here. That means Rivers could find himself as a starter which is no surprise when you see that he played 33 minutes on Monday. Any guy who can play at least 30 minutes below $4K is hard to avoid, especially with so much ball-handling missing from the lineup. That means all he needs is about 0.6 DK points per minute to be successful, and even the worst players in the league can do that. Ben Simmons has fallen all the way down to $7K on...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday, 5/4/21 We're down to the final two weeks of the regular season! There's still a lot to be decided, and it'll be fascinating to see what happens over these final 13 days. The good news is that we still have many teams in contention, which makes things a little easier on us. There are still some bad eggs out there, though, and those teams can be impossible to predict. That's why we're going to try to avoid the bad teams, and bank on guys who we know will play. With that in mind, let's get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard LaMelo Ball FD - $6200 DK - $7100 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 33.85 DK - 34.37 This pricing is insane. It's obviously dropped a lot because Ball was out for so long, but this dude was hovering between $8-9K before his injury. It's easy to see why when you look at his numbers, averaging 37 fantasy points per game since a disappointing opening week. He's pretty much been that guy since his return, scoring 36 DraftKings points in back-to-back games in that span. That makes it hard to believe he remains so cheap, especially considering that he looks ready for a full workload after a 30-minute game over the weekend. The matchup with Detroit is dandy, too, with Ball dropping 36 DK points in this matchup last week. Delon Wright FD - $5200 DK - $5100 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 35.11 DK - 34.25 This is my favorite play of the day! It looks like the Kings will be missing De'Aaron Fox, Tyler Haliburton, and Harrison Barnes, likely forcing Wright into a start and 35 minutes of play. He's actually got a 26 percent usage rate with those guys off the floor and is averaging 1.25 DK points per minute in this role. That's the stud we saw in Detroit, with Wright averaging nearly 35 fantasy points per game as their starting point guard. This expanded role is big news for a stat-stuffing machine like this, especially with the Thunder owning one of the worst defenses in the NBA since going into tank mode. Stephen Curry just had...

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 Stephen Curry FD - $9700 DK - $10800 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 52.75 DK - 56.27 Curry's late MVP campaign soldiers on, with Steph leading the Dubs to yet another win against the hapless Rockets on Saturday. The shot volume for Curry is through the roof right now, with Curry topping 13 three point attempts in 8 of his last 10 contests. The real icing on the cake? This incredible match-up. The Pels have allowed the very most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards this season, and their defensive indifference could lead to another memorable performance from the greatest shooter the world has ever seen. Damian Lillard FD - $8900 DK - $9200 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 45.8 DK - 48.37,p> It's looking like a day to pay up at point guard, with Lillard sliding into the number two spot in our point guard rankings tonight. This is the rare opportunity where an expensive option can be a value play, with Lillard being largely priced to a slightly limited post-injury role. Well, he broke out in a big way against Brooklyn (including that ridiculous logo shot), and if he's firing on all cylinders, he's probably 10% too cheap. A Trae Young-led backcourt defense isn't going to scare Dame either, and you can bet he'll be looking to knock this young'n down a peg. Also considered: Ben Simmons, if you think the Bulls can keep it close. Shooting Guard Jordan Clarkson FD - $6500 DK - $7300 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 34.5 DK - 36.53 Some people will take a "once bitten, twice shy" approach with Clarkson, but not me. No, he didn't live up to the DFS community's lofty expectations for him against Toronto with Conley and Mitchell out, but it very easily could have broken differently for him. He shot just 6 of 18 from the floor, and lost a handful of assists to poor shooting from his teammates. He's still too cheap, and we love running him against the Spurs here. Andrew Wiggins FD - $7000 DK - $7100 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD -...

Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $10600 DK - $10800Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 58.48 DK - 62.67 Luka is coming off a total monster of a game on Saturday against the Wizards, putting up 31 points, 20 assists, and 12 rebounds in 39 minutes. He now gets an even better matchup against the Kings. In this way, he just a great cash play once again. The only concern here is that the Mavericks choose to limit or rest Luka here considering how much he played on the front end of the back-to-back. We will have to watch out for that news over the course of the day. We might never truly know, but he’s worth the “risk” as it were considering the matchup and his ability to put up crazy lines. LaMelo Ball FD - $6100 DK - $6800Opponent - MIAProj Pts FD - 34.78 DK - 35.59 LaMelo came back from the broken wrist and looked no worse for wear right out of the gate. He played 28 minutes against the Pistons on Saturday and put up 11 points, eight assists, and seven rebounds while also adding some defensive stats as well. There are a couple of ways this could go for him on Sunday. They could rest him on the back-to-back if worried about his conditioning. They could also ramp up his minutes some considering he looked pretty damn good on Saturday. If he’s playing then the price on both sites is too cheap, but he’s especially a bargain on FanDuel. Hopefully, we get some clarity around the situation as the day goes on. With Goran Dragic set to sit on the back-to-back then Kendrick Nunn (FD 5700 DK 5800) could be a good value. Shooting Guard Tyrese Haliburton FD - $7600 DK - $7300Opponent - DALProj Pts FD - 36.88 DK - 37.87 Over his last four games, since Fox went down with injury, Halliburton has been averaging 17 shots per game and putting up 19 points, nine assists, and two steals per. That’s totally a great fantasy line and on Sunday should have a chance to add to it against the Mavericks. The price for Tyrese hasn’t come up...
