Guards Damian Lillard FD - $9700 DK - $10200 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 44.76 DK - 47.33 The price has reached a point where we have to pick our spots with Lillard, which is most definitely one of them. These teams meet for the second time in three nights after hitting the over on Saturday with a handful of players providing excellent PTS/$ value. For Lillard, he put up 22 shot including 11 from behind the arc and ended up with 50+ fantasy points for the second straight game. The Timberwolves are only slightly below average defensively(18th) but run fast(3rd in pace) and have given up the second-most fantasy points to the guard position. This is a great spot for Lillard and he is my top guard in all formats. Kyrie Irving FD - $8700 DK - $8700 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 42.54 DK - 45.54 The Nets seemed to have put their drama-filled and poor start behind them and their recent success has in large part been thanks to their superstars. Kyrie has been playing some of his best basketball of the season recently shooting over 55% on 45 shots over the last two games while dropping 33 points in each along with 16 rebounds and 12 assists which has also led to 50+ fantasy-point performances in both. He and the Nets now face a Wizards team that is short Bradley Beal and possibly Monte Morris and has really struggled lately losing nine of their last 10. At these sub $9K prices, Kyrie is in play for me in all formats tonight. Caris LeVert FD - $5500 DK - $5000 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 34.1 DK - 37.53 This one is a bit speculative as we will be waiting on the Donovan Mitchell news to make the final decision but if he misses his third straight game, Levert is once again a top PTS/$ play in our system. He started each of the last two games and saw a huge usage boost taking 21 and 22 shots and not only dropped 22 points in each but also added 10 rebounds and 10 assists, as well. If starting, he is massively underpriced on both sites and a lock in all formats. If Mitchell does make his return, I will consider him with...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 12/11/22 It's been a strange week of basketball. If you played that Saturday slate, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Teams like Brooklyn and Utah rested almost every player in the rotation, and both of those clubs played competitive outings. There's always a ton of value in circumstances like that, but it's impossible to know that until hours before tip. That's why it's up to you guys to zone in on injury reports because things change quickly in this racket. That's why these articles are a baseline for you and why they should be a building block in your extensive research that needs to be done before submitting lineups!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Trae Young FD - $9700 DK - $10400 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 55.51 DK - 59.71 Young has had a "down" year by his standards, but he's still averaging 28 points and 10 assists per game. That's why he's a perennial All-Star and why he's one of the best options with Dejounte Murray sidelined. That's forcing Young into a monster role, posting a 42 percent usage rate with Murray off the floor. That would be the highest rate in the NBA, which is scary since he's averaging 1.6 DK points per minute in those circumstances. That would equate to 65 DraftKings points if he plays 40 minutes, which is incredible since Trae tallied 65 fantasy points in his most recent matchup with the Bulls. Davion Mitchell FD - $4000 DK - $3800 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 25.26 DK - 25.66 If De'Aaron Fox misses this game, Mitchell is the best value play on the board. It's rare to find a starting point guard at $4,000, especially one who's always been productive when given the opportunity. Davion has started in 21 games at point guard since the start of last season, averaging 33 fantasy points per game across 37 minutes a night. You usually see production like that from a $7K player, and it's hard to understand why Mitchell remains so cheap. Facing the Knicks is the best part of this, though, with New York owning a 27th OPRK against opposing point guards this season. If Fox is out,...

Guards Damian Lillard FD - $9700 DK - $10100 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 43.36 DK - 48.23 Lillard is my top guard play in the top tier tonight with Doncic nearly $13K on DraftKings with both Curry and SGA facing Top 5 defences. For Lillard, he has put his short-term shooting woes in the rearview coming off a monster game where he made 12 of 22 shots including a whopping nine from beyond the arc. He now faces a Timberwolves team that is playing on a back-to-back and has struggled lately giving up an average of 126 points per game over the last five games. I will have exposure to Lillard in all formats tonight. Kyrie Irving FD - $8600 DK - $8700 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 47.58 DK - 50.17 I never get too excited with Kyrie playing on a back-to-back but everything is aligning for him to be a top play once again on Saturday. First of all, he and Durant put on a show last night and now it appears Durant could sit out tonight for rest which would boost Irving even higher than the system already has him. Despite scoring 30+ in back-to-back games while adding 16 rebounds and 12 assists, Irving's price remains in the mid $8K range on both sites and he now gets a plus matchup against the Pacers who are 21st in defensive efficiency and 4th in pace. Fire up Kyrie in all formats. Jordan Clarkson FD - $6900 DK - $7600 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 33.08 DK - 37.12 Malik Beasley FD - $5000 DK - $5600 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 21.12 DK - 23.75 Nickeil Alexander-Walker FD - $4500 DK - $3100 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 21.08 DK - 21.68 The Jazz are a bit short-handed at guard with Collin Sexton out which has me grouping all three of these guys together in a spot where they could even be stacked together. The Jazz are on a back-to-back but this is one of three games with a monster total North of 230. They also get the best matchup of the group against the Nuggets who have lost three of four while giving up an average of 118.5 points per game and rank 27th in defensive efficiency...

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/ Shooting Guard Trae Young FD - $9700 DK - $10300Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 50.56 DK - 55.43 The Hawks are going to be without Dejounte Murray for a couple of weeks now and that could lead to Trae Young with an even higher usage than he’s already putting up. On the season, Trae is rocking a 34% usage rate, but that number shoots all the way up to 44.5% with Murray off the court. He could be bombing early and often in this game against a Brooklyn Nets team that doesn’t have much in the way of point-of-attack defense and will just be working Ben Simmons back into the mix. Young’s price hasn’t been adjusted enough on FanDuel in particular. Anthony Edwards FD - $8800 DK - $9000Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 44.99 DK - 48.3 The Timberwolves are still without Karl-Anthony Towns and that’s led to some big time Anthony Edwards upside in the short-term. Over his last six games (not all with KAT out), Edwards is averaging 27 points, five rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 3.5 steals. That’s elite production and the price hasn’t fully caught up on either site. Now, the Timberwolves will be in a game against the Jazz which has the highest over/under on the slate (236.5). It could be an up-and-down affair and that’s good for Edwards when it comes to volume shooting. Monte Morris FD - $5500 DK - $5300Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 30.49 DK - 33.01 The Wizards can definitely be tough to trust when it comes to the minutes and this is a game we are going to want to target some. Bradley Beal remains out and last time around, Monte Morris played 37 minutes in a four-point loss to the Bulls. He took the third-most shots on the team behind Kristaps Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma and finished with 17 points and eight assists. That kind of production at these prices is an easy cash game call. The issue is we just can’t always trust the Washington rotations making this a bit risky. I do still think D'Angelo Russell (FD 7100 DK 7100) is a value...

Guards Damian Lillard FD - $9500 DK - $9700 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 37.18 DK - 41.71 We have two superstars and the most expensive players on this slate going head-to-head tonight and we may be able to play them together with some expected value popping up once we get all the news. As of now, however, I am leaning toward Lillard who is sub $10K on both sites, making the building process a bit easier and more balanced to start. The shooting, especially from beyond the arc, has been atrocious in the short term but I am not concerned as he commands heavy usage in the offense(32%), averages 25.8 points and 6.9 assists per game and gets a plus matchup against a Nuggets team that is 26th in defensive efficiency. Lillard is our top projected play at the guard position and a great building block in all formats. Kevin Porter Jr. FD - $7600 DK - $7300 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 34.98 DK - 38.36 There is a ton of news to drop on this small slate and it includes Kevin Porter who has some right knee soreness but considering they haven't played since Monday, signs are pointing to him playing. That is great news as he is in a smash spot here against a Spurs team that is dead last in defensive efficiency,  7th fastest pace, and have allowed the second-most fantasy points to guards. For Porter, he has been a very consistent PTS/$ producer at these prices and that comes from providing value in multiple categories as he is averaging 19 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and a combined 1.7 blocks/steals per game on the season. Porter is my favourite PTS/$ option at the guard position tonight. Tre Jones FD - $6400 DK - $6400 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 37.03 DK - 38.92 Romeo Langford FD - $4000 DK - $3100 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 14.02 DK - 14.02 This game has the highest total(231.5) on the slate by five full points and the Rockets are not the only ones in a great spot as their own defense has struggled this season ranking 28th in defensive efficiency. It appears we are also going to get some much-needed value here with the Spurs guards as Devin Vassel...
