FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Thursday, 3/11/21
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...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Thursday, 3/4/21
Member Login Username: Password: FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Thursday, 3/4/21 This marks the final day before the All-Star break! If Wednesday was any indication, this slate should be absolutely nuts. We literally had two Pistons record triple-doubles, and T.J. McConnell pick up nine first-half steals yesterday! Yeah, that's where we're at right now in the NBA. In any case, we're looking to end the first half of the season strong, so let's get into this final slate!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard De'Aaron Fox FD - $8300 DK - $8900 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 46.42 DK - 47.79 Fox didn't get much All-Star consideration because of how chaotic the Kings are, but this guy has played at an All-Star level for over a month now. In fact, Fox has scored at least 32 DraftKings points in 20 straight games, averaging 25.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 8.8 assists, and 1.1 steals in that span. That equates to a 44-point average, making him a bargain below $9K on both sites. The best part about this is the matchup, though, with Portland ranked 28th in defensive efficiency while surrendering the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing PGs. In their last meeting, De'Aaron collected 29 points, six rebounds, and six assists if you needed any more incentive. Malcolm Brogdon FD - $6700 DK - $8000 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 41.67 DK - 42.94 It's pretty insane that Brogdon is down to $6,700 on FanDuel. That's downright criminal, with the $8K price tag on DraftKings being more indicative of how good this guy is. We're talking about a blossoming point guard who's averaging 40 fantasy points per game, which is right on par with what he's been doing over the last eight games. That makes the recent price drop hard to understand, especially in a matchup like this. Denver currently sits 16th in total defense while owning a 23rd OPRK against opposing point guards. They're also a Top-5 team in terms of pace, and that only adds to Brogdon's intrigue. If you have the salary, Damian Lillard should wreak havoc on a terrible Kings defense. Shooting Guard Paul George FD - $7900 DK - $8600 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD -...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Wednesday, 3/3/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 3/3/21 This first half of the season has been nuts, and it's mercifully coming to an end. This slate is complete bonkers, with 10 games in total and numerous teams dealing with COVID issues. That's obviously going to be a major theme, so let's go ahead and get into it! Head on over for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, our MLB Optimizer, and NHL Projections as well. Plus, our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with NBA or NFL? 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 LaMelo Ball FD - $8600 DK - $9200 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 49.39 DK - 50.16 Can we admire how special this kid is? He's just 19-years-old, and he's easily a Top-50 player in his rookie season. He's been particularly good recently, scoring at least 41 DraftKings points in seven of his last eight games while averaging 46 fantasy points per game across his last five fixtures. That's a ridiculous total, and he could be asked to do even more here with DeVonte'Graham and Gordon Hayward possibly missing this game. The best part might be this matchup, though, with Minnesota ranked third in pace and 28th in points allowed. In their one meeting earlier this year, Ball had another 46-point gem if you needed any more incentive. Théo Maledon FD - $4200 DK - $4800 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 23.7 DK - 24.7 This is certainly a risky play, but Maledon has carved out a nice little role with the Thunder. He's actually been inserted as the starting point guard with George Hill out of the picture, playing at least 28 minutes in 13-straight games. He's shown some flashes in that stretch, too, averaging 23 DK points per game in that span while dropping a 40-burger two games ago. Getting 23 fantasy points out of a $4,500 player is really all you can ask for, and that shouldn't be tough to duplicate against a 28th-ranked Dallas defense. Kyle Lowry could go nuts with half of the Raptors roster missing. Shooting Guard Terry Rozier FD - $7000 DK - $7900 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 39.72 DK - 41.05 We already discussed how Graham and Hayward could miss this game, forcing Ball and Rozier to take over. Scary Terry is actually in the midst of a breakout season, averaging 34 fantasy points per game....
