Point Guard Chris Paul FD - $7000 DK - $7200 Opponent - MEM Proj Pts FD - 40.92 DK - 41.1 CP3's price is down a little bit after a tough three game stretch that saw him lose minutes in a couple games and then run into the buzz-saw defense of the Clippers, but this match-up should be a nice opportunity for him to get back on track. The grit and grind Grizzlies of old are long gone, and the new look Grizz pair the league's 6th fastest pace with the league's 5th worst defensive efficiency. Vegas has the Thunder has 6.5 point favorites here, and the if Paul plays his full run of minutes he's a heavy favorite to pay his price and then some. Dejounte Murray FD - $5900 DK - $5700 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 32.58 DK - 31.78 Murray has rounded into a fantasy points per minute beast thanks to his incredible contributions on the defensive end, and his floor is among the highest at this price point thanks to his ability to contribute across the board. With 34.7 fantasy points per game over his last 7 games, he's just flat out under-priced right now, and I'll happily grab him in a league average match-up with the Mavs in any format. Also considered: Jalen Brunson, if Doncic is out once again. Given that there is some chance for Luka to come back here I didn't want to write him up entirely though. Shooting Guard Andrew Wiggins FD - $7300 DK - $7800 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 41.13 DK - 41.54 I'm not shy about getting Wiggy with it with Towns out, and this price on FanDuel is just a mystery to me. Wiggins has averaged just under 40 FanDuel points a game on the season, and that includes games where he was splitting Alpha duties with Towns. The Kings are in disarray right now, and the 10-19 Timberwolves are just 4 point dogs here. I have a hard time believing Wiggins doesn't get his in spite of Sacramento's depressingly slow pace. Garrett Temple FD - $4300 DK - $5800 Opponent -...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Monday 12/23/19 It's Christmas week, and before we get to Wednesday's gift of an entire day chock-full of marquee matchups to tear us away from our loved ones, we start the week out with an eleven game slate of basketball action tipping off at 7 PM ET this evening. Jerry has been tirelessly crunching all the numbers and now presents to you our top NBA plays for Monday night. Enjoy!

Since leaving OKC for Houston, from a fantasy perspective, the man hasn't missed a beat. He's an ever-present triple-double threat, with a double-double all but guaranteed most nights. He sandwiched a season-high 40 point game in between two 30 point performances and has paid over 5X PPD (points per dollar) in eight of his last nine games played. This is one of several games on the agenda this evening with a projected total over 225 and the opening line sits at a mere 5.5 point spread. Since the calendar flipped over to December Westbrook has been playing some of his best ball of the season and that should continue this evening in a league-average matchup. Ish Smith FD - $4500 DK - $4500 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 29.18 DK - 29.26 The league, passed down a suspension for Isaiah Thomas, so look for Ish Smith to likely step into the starting role at the point for Washington while IT serves his time. Smith was a nonfactor in 20 minutes off the bench against Philly, but that was on the heels of 26 points in 29 minutes against the Raptors the night prior. With IT off the court, Ish sees his usage rise nearly 6% and in his career as a starter he's averaged 12.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game. The matchup is favorable against the Knicks, who present a slightly below average defensive matchup against opposing point guards, in the game with the highest projected total of the evening. I don't know that Ish will be chalk this...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 12/22/19 Hello there! A Lebron-less Lakers? The Clippers on the second half of a back to back? Value abounds, so let's make sense of it all.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Kemba Walker FD - $7900 DK - $8200 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 43.74 DK - 45.49 Revenge games are kind of a silly concept, but I won't mind throwing it out here given that Kemba is just a straight up good play anyway. Charlotte has played slowly this season, but they're also the 23rd ranked defense in terms of defensive efficiency. Kemba wasn't fantastic in their first meeting this season, but the context here is totally different. With Smart ruled out and Heyward currently questionable, the offensive burden will be squarely on Kemba's shoulders. Charlotte is also on the second half of a back to back here. There is some serious blowout risk with the Celtics sitting at 13 point favorites, but on a small slate I don't know if that can full scare us off. Jamal Murray FD - $6800 DK - $6800 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 37.19 DK - 37.93 I just think Jamal Murray is a great value right now. We played him at 2% ownership on DraftKings two nights ago and he rewarded us with 52 fantasy points in 36 minutes against the Timberwolves. Murray has been playing 35-36 minute rotations in close games recently, and while the Lakers are a tough match-up, Murray went for 22/5/5/1/2 in their last meeting. LeBron's likely absence should help keep this one close, and I love Murray's floor here. Also considered: Rajon Rondo. Rondo has seen a lot of cash game ownership recently even with LeBron on the floor, and given the Lakers incredible lack of depth in terms of ball handlers it's hard to imagine where else these minutes go. With both he and Caruso playing terribly last game I can't call this a cash game lock, but you have to at least consider it. Aaron Holiday if Jeremy Lamb is out again. Shooting Guard Lou Williams FD - $5100 DK - $6500 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 33.65 DK - 35.31 Lou Will...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 12/21/19 While it's the holiday season, these players have not been rewarded with health. We've been bombarded by injuries over the past couple weeks and it's opened up a ton of value on these last two slates. While it was mostly Toronto on Friday, we're going to take advantage of other injuries here. There are also two games being played before the 7ET slate but we're going to go ahead and avoid those since they're not a part of the main slates. With that in mind, let's get into it!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 Ben Simmons FD - $7900 DK - $8200Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 44.82 DK - 43.74 While Simmons is a guy who can disappoint, we absolutely love his athleticism in a matchup like this. Let's begin with that opposition, facing a Washington club who sits dead-last in both points allowed and defensive efficiency. That doesn't even take into consideration that they surrender the third-most fantasy points to opposing point guards and Simmons should be able to stuff the stat sheet at ease against these guys. That was evident in their last meeting, collecting 17 points, five rebounds, 10 assists and three steals on 80 percent shooting.  George Hill FD - $4400 DK - $4400Opponent - NYProj Pts FD - 22.86 DK - 23.22 With Eric Bledsoe out for another week or so, Hill should continue to see big minutes at point guard. Over his last five games, Hill is averaging 24 DK points across 24.2 minutes of action. That equates to 5.5X value and it's scary to think how good he could be against this team if he reaches the 29 minutes he played in the most recent outing. The Knicks currently sit 25th in defensive efficiency and Hill could receive some extra run off the bench in what's expected to be a lopsided result.  Dejounte Murray has been much better recently and remains in consideration in the $6,000-range. Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $11100 DK - $11600Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 61.48 DK - 64.28 Harden is always a good play and we have to love that his price dropped after a disappointing performance on Thursday. It...

Point Guard Kemba Walker FD - $8000 DK - $8300 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 44.53 DK - 46.38 With Smart and Heyward sidelined, the Celtics have called on Kemba to do even more than he had been doing, and Walker has responded. With 42, 44, and 62 fantasy points in his last three games, Walker is contributing across all categories. The only thing that can stand in Kemba's way here is the potential blowout risk, and while that is a material concern tonight, I still think that Walker has the ball in his hands enough to breeze past the banged up Pistons. Kendrick Nunn FD - $5800 DK - $6500 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 30.23 DK - 30.93 Any doubts about Nunn's role with Winslow sidelined were quieted against the Sixers, as the electric youngster stayed out there for 41 minutes in regulation, chipping in a 26/4/5 line in the process. The DraftKings price has caught up a little bit, but the FanDuel price is still far too cheap for what we've come to expect from Nunn. It's also a fantastic match-up against the Knicks, who have the 4th worst defensive efficiency in the NBA this system. There are a lot of good plays across the board tonight, and Nunn is a great way to invest cheaply at point guard to get access to the good big money plays elsewhere. Keep an eye on Jeremy Lamb's status. If he misses it could open up a path for Aaron Holiday to rejoin the starting lineup. Shooting Guard Josh Richardson FD - $5400 DK - $5600 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 29.85 DK - 30 It's always nice when we can catch a guy whose price is too low for his current opportunity, and that's exactly what we have with J-Rich. He stayed out there for 33 minutes in regulation in his "revenge game" against the Heat, and at just $5,400 he's criminally cheap here. The Sixers are favored by 8.5 at home against the Luka-less Mavs, but I wouldn't worry much about the blowout, and I believe we see Richardson's price rise by at...
