Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $9900 DK - $10300Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 55.89 DK - 58.71 We wrote up Lillard yesterday and he was a pretty popular cash-game option on FanDuel. That looks like it should be the case again on Sunday with the Trailblazers running on the back-to-back again against the Timberwolves. On Saturday, they put 125 points in the win and we could be looking at a similar total considering the Minnesota defense remains one of the worst in the league. Lillard dropped 25 points and 10 assists though did struggle from the field some shooting just 7-19 and 3-10 from three. With CJ McCollum out one more game, it should be Dame time once again. Tomas Satoransky FD - $3500 DK - $3200Opponent - TORProj Pts FD - 25.63 DK - 26.6 It was announced on Saturday night that Satoransky would take over the starting duties at point guard for the Bulls, sending Coby White to the bench. It’s a great time to buy low on the guard who is coming at near-minimum prices on both sites. Point guard is a bit loaded which could make the decision on FanDuel a little tougher, but on DraftKings Satoransky is a clear cash game option considering the new opportunity and the very low price tag. Kyle Lowry (FD 8400 DK 8600) is once again in play with the Raptors remaining very shorthanded. Shooting Guard Paul George FD - $7800 DK - $8100Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 47.74 DK - 50.06 Paul George is still something of a bargain on both sites and the Clippers have shown that in close games he’ll run major minutes. Considering the nature of this team, they really do need his offense these days. George is having an excellent statistical season, shooting 45% from three on almost eight attempts per game and averaging 24 points, six rebounds, and five assists. After starting out ok to begin the season, the Pelicans have dropped to the third-worst defense in the league this season. They aren’t running a fast pace, but the issues on the defensive end are real. There’s a reason this game has the highest total of...

Point Guard Kyle Lowry FD - $8400 DK - $8700Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 48.31 DK - 51.88 With Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam out of the lineup over the last few games, Lowry has been called on for big minutes in the short term. He’s averaged 38 over his last three and put 17 points, 12 assists, and four rebounds in that stretch. And the 33% shooting from the field has also been well below his standard efficiency meaning there is probably room for growth on the scoring especially. The price hasn’t come up enough on either site to reflect the increase in minutes or usage with the other key Toronto Raptors out of the mix right now. Damian Lillard FD - $9900 DK - $10700Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 53.31 DK - 55.99 CJ McCollum is set to come back pretty soon meaning we aren’t going to have many more chances to play Lillard when the usage is this much in his own hands. He’s putting up such a magnificent season with 30 points per game on 39% shooting from three where he’s averaging more than 11 attempts per game. That’s just silly and on Saturday he’ll face a Timberwolves team ranked in the bottom third in defensive efficiency on the season. This game’s 233 over/under is the second-highest number on the slate and it should be a high-scoring affair. Consider Jrue Holiday (FD 6100 DK 6500) whose minutes restriction is off now. He’s facing the Wizards and their porous defense. Shooting Guard Kevin Huerter FD - $5300 DK - $5700Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 27.08 DK - 27.25 This game is tied for the highest opening over/under on the day and we will want to target some players in this one for sure. Huerter does get hurt a bit on the minutes with the returns of Bogdan Bogdanovic and Danilo Gallinari getting more minutes off the bench. That’s something of an issue. But shooting guard is one of the weaker positions on the slate and I think targeting Huerter at these mid-tier prices is fine. He’s still running low-30s minutes and has put up 16 points and four rebounds over the...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Friday, 3/12/21 Thursday's slate was incredible, and we're ecstatic for more action here. What needs to be taken into consideration is that we're going to be looking at a condensed schedule. That means more games every night and more teams playing back-to-backs. That's going to cause chaos for DFS, but we're going to do our best to evaluate these situations and bank on some of these decisions to rest players. So, without further ado, let's get into this Friday slate!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Darius Garland FD - $6200 DK - $6600 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 30.79 DK - 32.04 Garland has been way too cheap all season long, and it's a wonder why. Before getting injured early on, the stud sophomore averaged 34 fantasy points per game. That's pretty much the guy we've seen recently, with Garlans scoring at least 21 DraftKings points in 18 of his last 19 games while averaging 29.2 fantasy points per game in that span. That even includes numerous blowouts, making Garland's upside even higher. What really adds to his value here is the matchup, though, with New Orleans surrendering the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing point guards while ranked 29th in defensive efficiency. Mike Conley FD - $6000 DK - $6400 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 35.01 DK - 35.84 How often do you see an All-Star priced around $6,000? That alone makes Conley a great value, averaging 33 fantasy points per game for the season. That makes him look like a great buy, and this price is even more difficult to understand when you look at his recent form. The former Memphis guard has scored at least 25 DK points in five straight outings, averaging 33 fantasy points per game in that span. That's right on par with the season average, making the price drop all the more baffling. The matchup is simply the icing on the cake, with Houston having the worst record over the last month while sitting 21st in point allowed. Not to mention, the Rockets own a 22nd OPRK against opposing PGs as well. Michael Carter-Williams is the starting point guard in Orlando and is always in play with...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Thursday, 3/11/21 It's been a week since my last article, and I'm ready for a big second half! We had a ton of craziness in the first half, and it appears there's no let-up when you look at all the news on this slate. We have a million guys questionable, and players already ruled out because of COVID protocols. It's also frustrating that so many teams haven't dropped much injury news after a long break but be sure to watch out for all the news that will surely drop during the day today!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard De'Aaron Fox FD - $8500 DK - $9100 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 47.54 DK - 48.36 Fox is a regular in these articles, and if you look at his recent form, it appears we're doing something right. Amazingly, Fox has at least 28 DraftKings points in 22-straight games, averaging 44.4 fantasy points per game in that span. That's a crazy total from a guy who's growing by the day, and it's scary to think that he's been doing this damage with the Kings struggling mightily. What we love about him here is this matchup, facing a Houston club in the midst of a 12-game losing streak. A big reason for that is their 21st-ranked defense, owning a 22nd OPRK against opposing PGs as well. That's also clear when you see that Fox has over 87 combined fantasy points in his two meetings with the Rockets this year. Elfrid Payton FD - $4900 DK - $5600 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 32.52 DK - 33.11 Payton can be a frustrating guy to own in season-long formats, but we're talking about DFS here. That means we only need him to be successful for this one slate, which seems like a strong possibility when you look at all the variables. The biggest aspect is the fact that Derrick Rose is expected to miss this game. That means Payton will start and play his usual 30 minutes at point guard. He did just that in the last game before the break, collecting 43 DK points in one of the best games of the season. That's a crazy total...

Be sure to read our free NBA  Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Ja Morant FD - $8000 DK - $7800Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 45.13 DK - 46.26 Ja Morant gets the gift of the best matchup on the short slate and will likely be a chalk option for this two-gamer. He’s facing a Wizards’ team running the league’s fastest pace and playing the fourth-worst defense. Morant dialed it up before the break, rocking back-to-back 35 points games against the Bucks and these very same Wizards. He should be in for another high-volume shooting game considering Washington has little in the way of functional defense and the game could be a track meet. The price has barely moved on either site and he’s still affordable for what he can put up scoring-wise. Dejounte Murray FD - $8500 DK - $7500Opponent - DALProj Pts FD - 37.47 DK - 37.83 Murray has played 31 or more minutes in each of his last six games lending credence to the idea that he’s working towards being a safer cash play at these prices. It’s easier to stomach on DraftKings where he’s still in the mid-$7K range though FanDuel is a bit tougher to swallow. Over his last five, he’s averaging 20 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists while piling up 12 steals in that stretch. He still has double-double upside considering how he can contribute in multiple ways across the stat line. He doesn’t draw the best matchup of the slate, but still has a higher floor. Shooting Guard Dillon Brooks FD - $5600 DK - $5400Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 33.42 DK - 33.69 Brooks is solidly in the middle tier on both sites, something that will come in handy considering the smaller player pool on the two-gamer. To hit fantasy value, Brooks really needs to put the ball in the hoop. 58% of his fantasy scoring comes from his actual scoring which is among the higher percentages in the league. It means if the three-ball especially isn’t dropping you could be in trouble. But he shot at some of his highest volume of the season in the last two games before the break, putting up 18 and 20 shots respectively. We could be looking at an expanded role which...
