The DFSR team is back with another DFS NBA cash game podcast for Tuesday's 8 game slate. It's a relatively quiet six game slate of NBA DFS tonight, but it still has plenty of question marks surrounding it, and the DFSR team is here to break it all down. How does Oladipo's return affect the Pacers? Is he playable on FanDuel at $4,000? How can we navigate the Rockets/Trail Blazers game, which has both the highest total AND the greatest uncertainty with the Rockets' "big three" all having missed last game? Thankfully there is some higher floor value lurking in the Memphis/New York game, the Detroit/Brooklyn game, and in San Antonio. Still, there is a lot to discuss, so be sure to tune in and hear Doug and James make sense of it...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 1/29/20 We're looking at a short six-gamer for this Wednesday slate which is truly bizarre with Wednesday's typically being one of the biggest days of the week. We actually have a ton of bad defenses on display and that should make for a high-scoring night. With that in mind, let's get into our top DFS plays of the day!Head on over a for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, our NFL Optimizer and NHL Projections as well.

Point Guard Kyrie Irving FD - $9300 DK - $9100Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 48.97 DK - 49.92 This is a tough one simply because of the Kobe Bryant situation. Kyrie Irving sat out the last game on Sunday after Bryant's passing and it's unclear if he'll even suit up here. One would have to believe that he will after practicing on Tuesday though and if he does, we expect him to put on a show with a heavy heart.  This is a guy who's been feeling it recently too, averaging 47.2 DraftKings points per game across his last five fixtures. We love that against a Detroit team that ranks 20th in defensive efficiency. We can't argue with the price either, with Irving playing at a $10,000 level throughout the year Chris Paul FD - $7200 DK - $7400Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 39.25 DK - 39.7 It really doesn't make sense why these sites continue to keep Paul below $8,000. This guy has been balling out all season, averaging over 39 DK points per game over his last 27 fixtures. That's no surprise when you see that he's averaging 37 fantasy points per game for the season and that should allow him to cruise right through an 18th-ranked Kings' defense. In their one meeting this season, Paul collected 41.3 DraftKings points, despite shooting just 3-of-9 from the field. If he stuffs the stat sheet like he did then and reaches his typical 17.2 points, Paul could be looking at a 50-point gem.  Forget everything we've said here if James Harden sits. If that's the case, Russell Westbrook is the best play on the board. Elfrid Payton is also a nice value in the $6,000-range too.  Shooting Guard DeMar DeRozan FD - $7900 DK - $8400Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 41.76...

DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings Plays for Tuesday 1/28/20 It's a shorter Thursday NBA slate with only three game James Davis and Doug Norrie are back on their DFS NBA Podcast for FanDuel and DraftKings with a packed episode!

The DFSR team is back with another DFS NBA cash game podcast for Tuesday's 8 game slate. Tonight's slate is shaping up to be a weird one, with relatively few obvious punt plays and a general lack of truly exciting big money plays as well. It's rare that we will recommend selecting mostly mid-range plays, but that's how it's coming together for us now. With the Raptors in a great spot against the Hawks, there's a strong case to be made for playing any of Lowry, VanVleet, Siakam, and Gasol. Going the other way, Trae had a great game when these teams met a week ago as well. Our system sees Zion as a pretty clear cut cash game play tonight, but the rest of power forward is looking a little bit tough. We're also looking at some prospective Celtics value tonight if Tatum were to wind up sitting. Tune in for some great hoops discussion, and as always head on over to https://www.dailyfantasysportsrankings.com/deals for access to the projection system that powers these...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday, 1/28/20 In case you missed the news, the Lakers-Clippers game scheduled for Tuesday has been canceled. It remains an incredibly sad time in the NBA with the passing of Kobe Bryant with the effects of this tragedy likely felt for the rest of the season and beyond.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Kyle Lowry FD - $7300 DK - $7200Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 40.06 DK - 41.49 The Raptors walk into the best matchup on the slate against the Hawks who play the third-worst defense in the league and run the third-fastest pace. That’s a team built to stack against in DFS and we could be looking at just that scenario. Even though the Raptors are getting healthier there’s still plenty to like about the team from a fantasy perspective. The main piece is the concentration of minutes around the starters. Lowry’s played 35 or more minutes in each of the last three games and is averaging 19 points, four rebounds and four assists in that stretch. Those numbers won’t blow you away, but consider he’s also running bad from three (4-20) while also contributing some defensive stats and I think you have a higher floor play in a perfect matchup. Kemba Walker FD - $8000 DK - $7800Opponent - MIAProj Pts FD - 41.73 DK - 43.18 Jayson Tatum has already been ruled out for Tuesday and that means we could be looking at another volume shooting game from Walker. Kemba has put up 24 and 23 shots respectively over the last two games with the Celtics dealing with some injury issues. He’s piled on 35 and 37 points with six steals combined. Without Tatum, it helps to play Walker more minutes to keep Boston with consistent scoring threats. Miami is a toucher matchup so this isn’t quite the layup we had in cash with Kemba over the last two games, but he’s still a high floor play because of the usage and ranks as a good DraftKings play. Strongly consider Elfrid Payton (FD $6300 DK $6000) against the Hornets. Shooting Guard Fred Vanvleet FD - $7500 DK - $8200Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 41.78 DK - 41.94 He’s on the...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 1/26/20 Sunday in the NBA gives us a split slate of action with two “early” games and then a six-game main slate starting at 6PM EST. There’s plenty to like with some great DFS matchups, injury news paving the way for cheaper value and a couple of spend up options for cash. Let’s take a look at the DraftKings and FanDuel plays.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Ricky Rubio FD - $5700 DK - $6500Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 35.06 DK - 35.71 From a fantasy perspective, Rubio has really struggled in the short term with only five assists total in his last two games and less than double digit points in two of the last four. The minutes have more than been there, but the production is really lacking. But the matchups haven’t been exactly ideal with two games against the Spurs, plus the Pacers and Celtics in the last week or so. He’ll get a chance to turn things around against a Memphis team ranked in the bottom third in defensive efficiency and running a 105.6 pace. The price, especially on FanDuel is a pretty easy play at this point and doesn’t carry all that much risk even with the short term performance. T.J. McConnell FD - $4600 DK - $5000Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 27.74 DK - 27.75 McConnell got the start for the injured Malcolm Brogdon on Friday and put up a solid line with 12 points and eight assists in 30 minutes. Brogdon has already been ruled out for Sunday and TJ should once again grab the start. Portland has allowed more than league average production to opposing point guards this season, with ones putting up 3% more points against the Blazers. The price on both sites ticked up a bit, but he’s still a solid value and considering the Pacers put up 129 points against the Warriors last time out with McConnell out it stands to reason he sees plenty of run again. Strongly consider Elfrid Payton (FD $5800 DK $5500) against the Nets. And along the same lines, Kyrie Irving (FD $8700 DK $9000) is coming off a monster game against the Pistons on Saturday. He...
