Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $10000 DK - $10300Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 51.92 DK - 54.7 Doncic is always one of the best plays on the board and it's hard to understand why he's seen such a stark decrease in price. This is a guy who was $12,000 in the final game before the break and there's no reason why his price should have dropped $2,000. We're talking about a dude who's averaging 57.2 DraftKings points per game for the season which actually matches his average over his last three fixtures. That makes the price drop all more mind-boggling and we can't overlook the fact that he faces a 24th-ranked Spurs defense too. In his two games against San Antonio this season, Doncic is averaging 64.6 fantasy points per game. Dejounte Murray FD - $5800 DK - $5900Opponent - DALProj Pts FD - 35.15 DK - 34.63 Murray has finally been seeing the role that fans have been asking for and it's led to the best stretch of his career. Over his last five fixtures, Murray is averaging 38.8 DraftKings points per game across 29 minutes of action. That's the production of a $7,500 player and it's hard to understand why he remains so affordable with LaMarcus Aldridge also out. What adds to his intrigue is this matchup, opposing Doncic's subpar defense. Spencer Dinwiddie (FD $7100 DK $8000) gets to face a Wizards team who owns the worst defense in the NBA and is averaging close to 40 fantasy points per game when starting for Kyrie Irving. Shooting Guard DeMar DeRozan FD - $6900 DK - $7000Opponent - DALProj Pts FD - 42.37 DK - 42.71 These prices made my jaw drop. One would believe that DeRozan would be about $9,000 with Aldridge missing this game but he's actually...

Point Guard Derrick Rose FD - $4900 DK - $5600Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 30.13 DK - 30.5 The Pistons stink, of that there is no debate. They’ve lost seven of their last eight and it doesn’t stand to get much better here on Tuesday against the Nuggets. But Rose should see somewhere around 27-28 minutes and at his current usage rate, he makes for a fine enough play at least on FanDuel at sub-$5K. He’s taken 15 and 16 shots respectively in the last two games, scoring 15 and 12 with some assists. I do think they scoring stands to tick up just a little, especially considering he’s been brutal from three, going one for his last 12 from beyond the arc. This is mostly a price play at a tougher position. De'Aaron Fox FD - $7800 DK - $7600Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 42.79 DK - 43.07 Fox isn’t the most consistent fantasy option around and had put up a string of some rougher games before turning it around to some degree over the last two. He’s streaky from beyond the arc both in terms of volume and efficiency, which does lead to fluctuations in his scoring numbers. But he gets a great matchup on Tuesday against the Warriors who rank 25th in defensive efficiency this season. We should see 34-35 minutes out of Fox is a closer game (which might be pushing it) and Golden State has been ineffective against opposing point guards, allowing 3% more scoring than league average to the position. I know they got smoked last time out against the Raptors, but if Victor Oladipo sat again then Malcolm Brogdon (FD $6100 DK $7100) would look like a great value on FanDuel at least. Shooting Guard Marcus Smart FD - $5300 DK - $6100Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 32.24 DK - 32.51 Kemba Walker has already been ruled out of Tuesday’s game against the Trailblazers, paving the way for another Marcus Smart start in the backcourt. Smart has played 35 and 36 minutes over the last two games with a 12 point, six rebound, five assist average while getting up double-digit shots...

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 Luka Doncic FD - $9800 DK - $10500Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 52.99 DK - 55.79 After sitting out on Saturday because of ankle soreness, Doncic has been cleared to play on Monday well in advance of the game. That means we can project him at basically 100% health he should be the big-money play on this slate. He came out of the gate post-All Star Break with a 33 point, 10 rebound, eight assist line against the Magic and now gets a Timberwolves team that’s incredibly compromised on defense after their trade deadline moves. Even with some moderate blowout risk, the floor on Doncic is almost too high to fade on this slate considering some of the cheaper value elsewhere. Kendrick Nunn FD - $4700 DK - $5600Opponent - CLEProj Pts FD - 27.09 DK - 27.69 Jimmy Butler has already been ruled out for Monday, leaving another chance to run out Kendrick Nunn in cash games. Nunn put up a huge line on Saturday against the Cavaliers with 24 points and eight assists in 35 minutes. The Heat will play matchups as much as any team in the league, meaning Butler being out isn’t a 1:1 certainty that Nunn sees all of those minutes, but two of the last three games Butler has sat Kendrick has played 33+ minutes. Considering this is a home-and-home against these very same Cavaliers, setting Nunn in a similar minutes range is perfectly acceptable. I suspect he’s a popular play. With Ben Simmons out for the 76ers, there are some point guard minutes up for grabs. When he sat two games ago, Raul Neto (FD $3500 DK $3800) got the start. But last game, when Simmons went down Shake Milton (FD $4400 DK $3600) early seemed to get the nod. This is a situation to keep an eye out for leading into lock as I’d tend to default to whoever is starting. Shooting Guard Josh Richardson FD - $5100 DK - $4800Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 31.13 DK - 31.12 Alec Burks FD - $4000 DK - $4900Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 35.03 DK - 35.81 The Sixers come...

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 Lonzo Ball FD - $6200 DK - $7300 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 37.49 DK - 38.65 Ball has been the absolute vision of consistency recently, going for 30+ fantasy points in 10 straight games and 22 of his last 23. Ridiculous. DraftKings has caught up with the price, but FanDuel is characteristically falling behind, and he could be unanimously owned there against a terrible Golden State team that has allowed the fourth most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season. Malcolm Brogdon FD - $6100 DK - $7000 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 36.3 DK - 37.45 Oladipo has been listed as doubtful for this game, and taking his time on ball away directly feeds Malcolm Brogdon. The Pacers' point guard had 34.2 and 35.2 FanDuel points in back to back games against the Raptors right before the All-Star break, and taking Oladipo out of the picture only sweetens the deal. I don't know that Brogdon has big tournament upside in a tough match-up here, but he should be a rock solid cash game inclusion. If you believe in the minutes, Dejounte Murray is a great value today. Shooting Guard C.J. McCollum FD - $7000 DK - $8400 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 39.44 DK - 40.66 With Lillard already ruled out of this game, it's shaping up to be another 90%+ ownership CJ night. I'm not sure who is asleep at the wheel over at FanDuel where this price is truly comical, but I think you can easily justify it on DraftKings as well. The Trail Blazers went into the fourth quarter down 19 to the Pelicans and McCollum still managed 37 minutes and 44 fantasy points. Going up against the G-League Pistons should mean McCollum's minutes are nearly guaranteed, and he should also be guaranteed to be in your cash game lineups. Malik Beasley FD - $5200 DK - $5800 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 26.94 DK - 27.59 The new look Wolves might not be great, but they are at least playing consistent minutes. Beasley has averaged 27.5 points on 36 minutes in his last two...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Saturday, 2/22/20
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 2/22/20 After a lengthy All-Star break, we're ecstatic to be back at it here! We had some brilliant All-Star festivities which culminated with the best game that I've seen in years and it has us ready to rock and roll in the final months of the season. We do have one early game between the Kings and Clippers but we're going to fade that one since its not part of the main slate. With that in mind, let's get to our favorite plays of the day.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $10000 DK - $10200Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 51.07 DK - 53.74 It's crazy that Doncic's price has dropped this much. This is a guy who was $12,000 the final game before the break and we have to wonder what DraftKings is thinking here. He earned every bit of that $12,000 price tag too, averaging 57.4 fantasy points per game for the season. That's even less surprising when you see that he's scored at least 60 DK points in four of his last eight games which seems like a strong possibility here. Doncic gets to face an Atlanta team who sits 28th in defensive efficiency and 29th in points allowed. After being a 70% play in cash on a bigger slate last night, one has to thing he'll be uber-chalk tonight. Look for he and Trae Young to go at it here. Coby White FD - $4500 DK - $4700Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 25.64 DK - 27.01 With seemingly half of the Bulls roster injured, White has found himself in a nice role. The most recent injury to Kris Dunn is the one that really boosts White's value, forcing him into ball-handling duties. Over his last four fixtures, White is averaging 27.1 DraftKings points per game across 30.5 minutes per outing. That's the production of a $6,000 player and he should continue to see big usage with Dunn, Lauri Markkanen, Otto Porter and Wendell Carter Jr all injured. Not to mention, he gets to face a 19th-ranked Suns defense. Spencer Dinwiddie (FD $7500 DK $7700) is averaging over 30 fantasy points per game when starting for Kyrie Irving...
