Guards Ja Morant FD - $10700 DK - $10600 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 51.77 DK - 55.83 Dillon Brooks FD - $6300 DK - $6600 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 32.94 DK - 35.9 The Grizzlies are in a great spot tonight against a struggling Thunder team that has dropped five straight, ranks 19th in defensive efficiency, and runs at a Top 5 pace. When looking at superstar pay-ups on this slate, there are only two players(Giannis/Luka) projected higher in our system than Ja Morant and both are significantly more expensive. While the overall numbers aren't quite in line with those other two, they sure have been close in the short term as Morant has been on a team since early November. It starts with volume as he has taken 20 or more shots in 13 of his last 15 games and delivered 40 or more DraftKings points in each of those games while averaging 26.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 8.4 assists. In this matchup coming in that second tier of pricing, Morant is my favorite guard and one of my top overall plays on this slate. Staying in the same game, we can't ignore the solid production we have been getting from Dillon Brooks over the last month with Desmond Bane out of the lineup. In those 15 games, he is averaging over three more shots a game and nearly seven more fantasy points per game. He hasn't been on our radar as much lately with the pricing peaking on both sites but the good news is that it's trending back down and at the right time as the Griz get a terrific matchup on Saturday. There is flashes of huge upside here at times but I much prefer Brooks in cash games on both sites tonight. CJ McCollum FD - $7800 DK - $7400 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 36.14 DK - 39.28 We are not usually out to target matchups between two teams with Top 10 defence's but considering this game has the second-highest total on this smaller five-game slate, I am on board. McCollum battled an illness in late November and upon returning took some easing back into game shape but seems to be back in form. He has taken an average of 20.5 shots over his last four games,...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard LaMelo Ball FD - $8000 DK - $8000Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 40.72 DK - 45.77 The Hornets season might be all but over and it never really got started. A big part of that was poor team-building and drafting, but there was also some bad luck in there as well specifically with the early-season injury issues with LaMelo Ball. The young guard is back now though and should be up to playing max minutes in this game against the Hawks. The 234 over/under is the third-highest of this large slate, and this game could have a lot of value in it. Ball is coming off a 23 point, 11 assist game that actually only saw him grab one rebound in 35 minutes. That’s an outlier on the low side and he’s a nightly triple-double threat when things are going right. It is worth noting the rebounding has been down in his limited time this season, but I am not looking a ton into this just yet. De'Aaron Fox FD - $8400 DK - $8100Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 41.61 DK - 44.46 This game could be an absolute track meet with the over/under sitting at 238.5, one of the highest numbers you’ll see. It makes sense for the Kings side especially with the Pistons playing a top-10 pace and the second-worst defensive efficiency in the league. Fox’s fantasy production has come and gone in recent games, and there was an injury in there as well, making him a bit of a risk here. But he’s coming off a 27 point, 10 assist, six rebound game against the Raptors, playing 41 minutes on the second half of a back-to-back. That’s a very good sign and again, this matchup is pretty choice. I like the price on both sites and think he has a high floor here. Terence Davis (FD 4400 DK 3900) and Malik Monk (FD 5000 DK 5300) are interesting options if Kevin Huerter has to sit out again. Luckily, this is the first game of the slate so the injury info for this will be in well before lock. Anthony Edwards FD -...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard CJ McCollum FD - $7500 DK - $7200Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 38.77 DK - 41.55 It didn’t work out great for the Pelicans the other night against the Jazz when they were effectively blown out in Utah and the starters lost minutes in the fourth quarter. But I still think we can be on McCollum here with Brandon Ingram out of the lineup and the Pels now missing Jose Alvarado as well. CJ has struggled shooting in a bad way over the last couple of weeks, but that’s due for a regression and the price has dropped because the scoring hasn’t been there. But he’s simply too cheap for this kind of opportunity. Chris Paul FD - $8200 DK - $8200Opponent - LACProj Pts FD - 41.27 DK - 43.96M Landry Shamet FD - $4000 DK - $1000Opponent - LACProj Pts FD - 23.64 DK - 26.1M The Suns come into this game even more shorthanded than before. They were already missing Devin Booker who is still on the shelf and now they will be without Cameron Payne coming off the bench in the backcourt as well. It’s turned into something of a mess for Phoenix who’ve lost five straight and are really struggling right now. This matchup isn’t the best on the slate against the Clippers, but the opportunity is just high enough for the Suns guards. Chris Paul has had his minutes pushed in the short-term even in games that have gotten out of hand and he took 17 shots last time out, though he struggled from the field. I’m fine going back here even with the price climbing. And then there is Landry Shamet who started last game at the two guard and ended up playing 32 minutes in total. He took 13 shots, a welcome sign for the usage considering he really needs to score in order to hit value. The price is low enough and the minutes should be high enough to consider him as a punt play in cash especially with the Suns so very thin at guard right now. With Jose Alvarado out, Dyson Daniels could see more...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 12/14/22 That Lakers-Celtics game was spectacular on Tuesday night.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard D'Angelo Russell FD - $7300 DK - $7600 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 40.09 DK - 41.16 Russell has been incredible since Karl-Anthony Towns went down, and it's hard to understand why he's not above $8K on both sites. The former All-Star has scored at least 33 DraftKings points in 10 straight games while flirting with a 40-point average in that span. That's the stud we saw in his Brooklyn days, but it's no surprise since he's seeing a massive boost in usage, minutes, and shot attempts in the absence of KAT. Facing the Clippers used to be concerning, but Russell has at least 34 DraftKings points in five of his last six matchups with Los Angeles. Jordan Goodwin FD - $5200 DK - $5600 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 34.88 DK - 33.63 Washington has been obliterated by injuries once again, but it's made Goodwin a fantasy-relevant option. Bradley Beal, Monte Morris, Delon Wright, and Kristaps Porzingis are all nicked up right now, forcing JG into a 35-minute role as the starting point guard. Over his last three games, Goodwin is generating a 37-point average across 36 minutes a night. That's the production you usually see from a $7K player, and it's right on par with our projections. Denver is far from a devastating matchup, with the Nuggets ranked 27th in defensive efficiency ratings this season. Jordan Poole (FD $6700 DK $7800) is averaging nearly 40 fantasy points per game as a starter this season and could see an expanded role if some of these starters are rested in the second half of a back-to-back set. Shooting Guard Tyler Herro FD - $7700 DK - $8100 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 38.28 DK - 40.01 We would...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Chris Paul FD - $7200 DK - $6200Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 41.99 DK - 43.77 With Devin Booker still out for the Suns, we are going to want to load up on some other Phoenix pieces on this slate for cash. They draw the Rockets, still one of the best DFS matchups around and there is now a lot of usage left on the table with the star out. Paul jumps to the top of the list for obvious reasons and the only real concern here is a minutes ceiling as he works his way back from injury. But he played 34 in each of the last two games, averaging 15 points and nine assists in that span. I do think that’s on the low end of the expected production and his price is kind of a joke on both sites. CJ McCollum FD - $7500 DK - $6900Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 38.89 DK - 41.72 The Pelicans are going to be at least one more game with Brandon Ingram, leaving at least for this one, considerable usage for McCollum in the offense. He gets a great matchup against a Utah Jazz team playing the 5th-worst defensive efficiency in the league and running an above-average pace. CJ has taken 16 and 24 shots respectively in the last two games after seeing that number around 11 for the three previous games. It’s unreasonable to expect those shot attempts to stay so low going forward and I think we are buying at a great price because of it. James Harden FD - $9700 DK - $9700Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 48.46 DK - 52.14 Some of the plays on this slate are underpriced and we could be able to fit some superstar-level plays across the board if things break just right. Harden is one of those dudes who’s coming just a bit too cheap. He’s back to playing full minutes, running 38 in regulation last time out after two overtime affairs in the previous two games. In that time, he’s averaging 23 points and almost 12 assists. He’s been terribly inefficient from the field,...
