FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Thursday, 2/25/21 After a chaotic slate on Wednesday, things should be a little more straightforward here. We say that because New Orleans is the only team playing the second half of a back-to-back set and all of those youngsters are in plenty good shape to handle that. No B2Bs means we don't have as much injury news to worry about, making things a bit easier on us. There's a lot to get into, though, so let's kick things off with the speedster from Sacramento.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard De'Aaron Fox FD - $7700 DK - $7800 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 42.32 DK - 43.49 There are a few higher-end guys that are priced criminally, and Fox is definitely one of them. We say that because he's been one of the best point guards in the NBA this month, averaging 25.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 8.6 assists, and 1.2 steals over his last 17 games played. That's an All-Star caliber stretch, and it certainly means he should be north of $8K. While some might be worried about the matchup against a stingy New York team, they're going to be without Elfrid Payton. He's their defensive stopper against point guards, and a matchup with Derrick Rose could allow Fox to feast. Monte Morris FD - $4700 DK - $4800 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 25.93 DK - 26.12 With Gary Harris, Paul Millsap, JaMaychal Green, and P.J. Dozier all sidelined, Denver has chosen to go small. That has forced Morris into some big minutes, playing at least 26 minutes in eight of his last 11 games. That's all you can ask for from a guy this cheap, especially when he averaged over 26 DK points per game in the 26 outings he played at least 26 minutes last season. Look at that, we have a 26-point projection here too! The best part of this might be the matchup, though, with Washington ranked 28th in defensive efficiency while playing at the fastest pace in the NBA. They're also surrendering the second-most fantasy points to opposing guards as well. Look for Immanuel Quickley and Derrick Rose to possibly start for Elfrid Payton. Shooting Guard James Harden...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 2/24/21 This slate could be nuts. We say that because seven teams are playing the second half of a back-to-back set. That's going to cause chaos in terms of late news, and you'll need to keep an eye on who plays. We have a good idea of who will sit, though, and that'll definitely play a factor in this article.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Dejounte Murray FD - $7500 DK - $7400 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 39.55 DK - 40 This honestly might be the best play on the board. It sounds like San Antonio will be without Keldon Johnson, DeMar DeRozan, Derrick White, and LaMarcus Aldridge. That leaves Murray as the only starter left, likely forcing him into the most significant usage of his career. We love that for a guy who's thrived with limited usage, averaging over 35 DraftKings points per game, despite ceding touches to those aforementioned starters. Murray could be looking at 40 minutes and 20-plus shots with so many guys out, which is scary since he gets most of his value through rebounds, assists and, steals. We also don't mind that Oklahoma City owns a 24th OPRK against opposing point guards this season. Kendrick Nunn FD - $5600 DK - $6100 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 32.6 DK - 33.3 Nunn has quietly been one of Miami's best players this season, and these DFS sites need to take notice. The Goran Dragic injury is the thing that's opened things up for Nunn, scoring at least 25 fantasy points in eight of his last 10 games. He's going crazy in those eight outings, too, averaging 35 DK points per game in nearly 37 minutes a night. The matchup against Toronto is slightly problematic, but Nunn has had his best games against them this year, scoring at least 40 DK points in both of those outings. All of that would make you believe we're looking at an $8K player, but Nunn is still sitting around $6,000 on both sites. Darius Garland is too cheap every day, and he's obviously in play against a fast-paced Houston team. Shooting Guard Eric Gordon FD - $5300 DK - $6500 Opponent...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday, 2/23/21 After a Monday slate with a ton of blowouts, we might be in for the same thing here. We have Brooklyn, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Denver, and Los Angeles all as monster favorites, with only nine games on the board. That could limit some minutes for some big-name players, but it's hard to overlook how good some of those matchups are, though, too. That makes things interesting, 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 De'Aaron Fox FD - $7900 DK - $8000 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 42.85 DK - 43.81 Fox has quietly been one of the best point guards in the NBA over the last month. Over his last 16 games played, Fox is averaging 44 DraftKings points per game, scoring at least 32 fantasy points in each of those. That's a heck of a run, and it's hard to understand why he's not a $9K player. The matchup only adds to his intrigue, with the Nets ranked 28th in total defense while playing at the eighth-fastest pace in the NBA. Those are two huge factors for Fox, and he should have no problem exploiting lackluster defenders like James Harden and Kyrie Irving. Dennis Smith Jr. FD - $4600 DK - $4200 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 27.16 DK - 26.31 Saben Lee FD - $0 DK - $3200 Opponent - ORL We're going to cheat a little bit and get both of these guys in here. The problem is, only one of them will probably play well. The Derrick Rose trade moved them into the rotation, while the Delon Wright injury has forced them into huge roles. Smith was the star in the first game without Wright, dropping 28 DK points despite not making a single shot. That made him highly-owned in the next slate, but Lee came in and collected 30 fantasy points across 33 minutes of play, leaving Smith with crumbs. That means at least one of these guys will be productive, and they both remain way too cheap. We bet that Smith will be the one to start, which makes him the better option. Damian Lillard has been running the show...

Point Guard Chris Paul FD - $7500 DK - $7800 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 38.76 DK - 39.69 CP3 is basically fairly priced at this point, averaging almost exactly 5x points per dollar on these prices for the season. He had been on a DFS tear before the Suns blew out the Grizzlies, and looks to regain that form against the Trail Blazers tonight. He's in a good position to do just that against Lillard and company, who have allowed the 4th most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season. CP3 looks like a great option in all formats from where I'm sitting. John Wall FD - $8500 DK - $8000 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 43.89 DK - 45.8 After weather has torn apart the Rockets' schedule, it looks like Houston will finally get back to work on Monday against the Bulls. Hopefully it hasn't killed John Wall's momentum, who appears to have nearly regained his prime form. Wall is coming off of 50 and 44 FanDuel pint performances against the Sixers and Wizards, and tonight he'll draw the Bulls, who have allowed the 9th most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards this season. It's been announced that Cousins will be traded as well, so if he winds up sitting that only puts more onto Wall's plate here. On a night where point guard is surprising shallow Wall looks like a high floor option. Also considered: There are a few similar options depending on your price point, with our system liking the value on guys like Diallo or even Lillard. Shooting Guard Terry Rozier FD - $7300 DK - $8100 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 40.81 DK - 42.14 Scary Terry! By now you've seen highlights of his masterpiece against Golden State, and if you think the Jazz are going to slow him down, I've got a bridge to sell you. Rozier has put the ball in the air at least 17 times in each of his last four games, including launching 29 shots against the Spurs. Given how well it's working for him (he's shooting 60% (!) from the...

Point Guard Kyrie Irving FD - $8800 DK - $8700Opponent - LACProj Pts FD - 47.16 DK - 48.76 The Nets are still without Kevin Durant for the foreseeable future leaving more usage and on-ball time for Kyrie Irving. He struggled last game in this situation, going just 7-17 from the field and 0-5 from three. But in general, this is going to be a good situation for him and the price has stayed relatively in check. The Clippers are getting healthier which means they can be a problem on defense, especially for guards/ wings, but Irving’s price is still too low considering Durant is out of the lineup. Dennis Smith Jr. FD - $4600 DK - $4000Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 25.69 DK - 24.27 Dennis Smith should draw the start for the injured Delon Wright in this game. Detroit is now really thin at the on-ball guard position with Wright out, Killian Hayes injured and Derrick Rose traded away. That leaves Smith as one of the few true point guard types on the roster. He’s shown fits and spurts fantasy-wise since coming over from New York in the trade which probably still makes him a little risky, especially on FanDuel. But if he’s in the starting lineup then it’s worth the risk at near-the-minimum on DraftKings where he’s simply coming too cheap. If Monte Morris (FD 4100 DK 4700) jumps into the starting lineup with the Nuggets’ injury issues, they he’s a good play on FanDuel. Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $10800 DK - $10600Opponent - LACProj Pts FD - 57.26 DK - 61.89 Harden has been nothing short of amazing since coming over in the trade to the Nets. Once again, it almost doesn’t matter who he is playing with, the fantasy scoring just gets done. Over the last three games with Kevin Durant on the shelf, he’s averaging 30 points, 12 assists, and eight rebounds per game while running bit minutes. The floor is just so high considering he scores fantasy points in almost any way imaginable. The price has climbed for sure, but he plays a ton of minutes and the Nets have been a good team even...
