Guards Devin Booker FD - $9200 DK - $9600 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 44.95 DK - 46.22 There is a solid group of guards at the top of the salary tonight but it's Booker who stands out the most as he checks almost every single box. It starts with the matchup as this game is expected to stay close(SAC -1), has one of the highest totals on the slate, and Booker faces a Kings team that is 23rd in defensive efficiency and 4th in pace. For Booker, he has been very consistent all season averaging around 5x at these prices and has been slightly better with Chris Paul out getting a little more usage and averaging around 3-4 fantasy points more per game. All things considered here, Booker is my top overall guard on this slate. Ben Simmons FD - $7300 DK - $7100 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 38.94 DK - 40.91 The positional eligibility is all over the place at the moment between the two sites but I list Simmons here at his natural position. After being pretty much unplayable earlier in the season, Simmons appears to have returned to fantasy relevance lately. He isn't going to get much volume with Durant and Irving on the floor but is an elite defender and distributor and over his last six games is averaging 14.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 2.8 blocks+steals, and tallied 32 or more DK points in each of those games. The Nets are in a great spot here against a Magic team that has the 3rd worst defensive efficiency and while Simmons' price is on the rise, I will still have exposure in all formats. Jose Alvarado FD - $4700 DK - $4300 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 30.24 DK - 30.11 It isn't too hard to find value on this slate and for that, we start with a short-handed Pelicans team that is still without CJ McCollum and is likely without Brandon Ingram tonight, as well. That leaves a lot of minutes and usage to go around and one player who likely picks up a ton of that work is Jose Alvarado. He has been less than impressive in his first two starts picking up just 13 total shots but did contribute nine assists against the Spurs and had...
DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Sunday, 11/27
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 11/27/22 The injuries have run rampant through the NBA this season. It looks like half the league is on the injury report right now, and you have to work extra hard to figure out these rotations this season. We surely have more absences happening here, with Philly's shorthanded roster taking the floor. The good news is that we only have one team in the second half of a back-to-back set, which should help us avoid too much resting. We'll also offer up all value plays below $10K because you know that studs like Luka Doncic and Giannis Antetokounmpo are the best plays on the board. These recommendations should allow you to squeeze in those studs, which is the most important thing on a slate like this. With that in mind, let's kick things off with the point guards.

Point Guard Shake Milton FD - $7000 DK - $6600 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 35.79 DK - 37.08 We've always loved Milton's game, and it's nice to see him get a starting job with Tyrese Maxey and James Harden both going down. That's forced Milton into four straight starts at point guard, scoring at least 29 DraftKings points in five consecutive games. Shake is also scoring over 40 DK points per game in that span and is loving this newfound 40-minute role. Any player who's a primary ball-handler and playing 40 minutes should never be this cheap, especially since he dropped 56 fantasy points on this Orlando defense just a few nights ago. That's far from surprising, with the Magic owning a 27th OPRK against opposing guards. Reggie Jackson FD - $5500 DK - $5200 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 28.79 DK - 30.48 Jackson got off to a rough start this season, but he's been cruising recently. Like Milton, Jackson has been stepping up with the Clippers two best players sidelined. That happens to be Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, leaving Jackson with 35 minutes, 15-20 shots, and a 25 percent usage rate. That's the role we saw from Jackson when he was a $7,000 player last season, and he's been playing at that level for two weeks now....

Guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $10600 DK - $10600 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 54.43 DK - 53.58 Kevin Porter Jr. FD - $8000 DK - $8400 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 42.19 DK - 43.51 Let's start with the game that checks all the boxes for us tonight. Both the Thunder and Rockets rank Top 10 in pace while ranking outside the Top 20 in defensive efficiency and we will start at guard as both also rank 28th(HOU) and 23rd(OKC) in fantasy points given up to the position. My favourite and one of the most consistent fantasy players in the league is SGA who himself checks all the boxes. He has taken 20 or more shots in five of his last six games and has the sixth-highest usage rate in the league but comes with a price the next tier down. In this matchup, SGA is my top pay-up on this slate. On the other side of the ball, we have Kevin Porter who has a much larger gap between his floor and ceiling adding some risk but considering the terrific matchup I described above, I am on board in all formats. The price is on the rise but for good reason, as he is coming off back-to-back games with 50+ DraftKings points aided by some awesome secondary scoring adding 16 rebounds, 14 assists, and seven blocks+steals in those two games. Jordan Clarkson FD - $7000 DK - $7400 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 32.58 DK - 34.76 Clarkson has been very consistent all season with his new role as a starter and is now getting even more of an opportunity to shine with Miek Conley remaining out of the lineup on Saturday. In the three games without Conley so far, Clarkson has played 35+ minutes in each and is shooting 49% from the field on 18 shots per game, and is averaging just shy of 40 fantasy points per game. He draws a tough matchup against the Suns here but given the price, opportunity, and size of this slate, I will have exposure to Clarkson in all formats. Also Consider: Jalen Green(HOU) as another Rocket's guard in a great spot tonight or Collin Sexton(UTA) as a value option if he starts in place of Mike Conley again Small Forward Lonnie Walker IV FD...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard De'Anthony Melton FD - $7900 DK - $8200Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 42.96 DK - 44.48 Shake Milton FD - $6400 DK - $6000Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 31.62 DK - 35.94 Playing an $8K De'Anthony Melton should feel crazy, but it really doesn’t considering how well this guy has been running since getting into the starting lineup following the injuries to James Harden and Tyrese Maxey. Over the last four games, Melton is averaging 18 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.75 assists, and even chipping in 3.5 blocks + steals as well. It’s meant a very high floor for cash games, especially on FanDuel where the defensive stats can really help things pile up. This is a good matchup against the Magic and I think we can consider him once again. Meanwhile, Shake Milton is coming cheap on DraftKings and was a chalk play there on Wednesday. He ended up playing 39 minutes, scoring 22 points and adding nine assists. The 16 shots were the third-most on the team behind Melton and Tobias Harris. The 76ers is concentrated among these three right now, giving each a pretty high floor in terms of the minutes and the usage. Cameron Payne FD - $6700 DK - $7300Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 38.36 DK - 41.63 He’s a bit too expensive on DraftKings, but the FanDuel price is still very much in the cash game range and the floor has been high for Payne in his time starting for the injured Chris Paul. Over his last seven games, Payne is averaging 19 points and 6.5 rebounds while playing right around 33 minutes per game. Against a very bad Detroit Pistons team, this is a good spot for Payne. Jose Alvarado FD - $4700 DK - $3800Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 30.19 DK - 31.93 Jose Alvarado got the start for CJ McCollum on Wednesday evening and it really looked like he was set to be a nice little punt play. That didn’t work out exactly to plan with him scoring just five points and committing five turnovers. But he did add nine assists and three...
DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Wednesday, 11/23
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 11/23/22 The injury reports are laughable right now. You could scroll through this lengthy player pool and count over 100 players on the injury report. There are some big-name players too, and we anticipate more getting ruled out before the 7ET buzzer. Denver, Detroit, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and Sacramento are all playing the second half of a back-to-back set, which will cause more mayhem to an already chaotic slate. We're going to bank on some of those absences, so let's get started with the greatest shooter of all time!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $10400 DK - $10800 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 50.18 DK - 52.79 Chef Curry has been playing a different game recently. The greatest shooter of all time has at least 40 DraftKings points in all but one game, with the one stinker being a 37-point blowout. That means his season average is nearly 60 DK points per game in the other 15 outings, averaging 32.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 7.1 assists, and 1.2 steals. That's the most stat-stuffing we've ever seen from this former MVP, and we're not worried about him facing a Clippers defense that's missing Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. Curry has also scored at least 63 fantasy points in three of his last six matchups with LA. De'Anthony Melton FD - $7400 DK - $7600 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 41.8 DK - 41.23 It feels weird to recommend Melton at this price, but it's impossible to fade this guy under these circumstances. Philadelphia has lost Tyrese Maxey, James Harden, and Joel Embiid to injuries, leaving Melton as the primary ball-handler. That's awesome for a guy who's been a per-minute stud throughout his career, averaging 1.3 DK points per minute. This increased role has led to Melton scoring 43 and 48 DK points in the last two games without those guys. We expect him to reach that 40-point total again here, with Charlotte sitting 19th in points allowed. As long as Melton plays the 35-40 minutes we anticipate, he should be at least $8K on both sites. Shake Milton (FD $6000 DK $5500) has at least 29 DK points in three straight...
