FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 12/14/19 After a big nine-game slate on Friday, we're back at it here with seven games. What is interesting about this slate is the fact that we have numerous teams in the second half of a back-to-back set. In fact, we have the Bulls, Clippers, Heat and Grizzlies all playing in the back end of a B2B. These are all teams that have a propensity to rest players in these circumstances, so that's going to be a major key in this article. With that in mind, let's breakdown this slate. 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 Eric Bledsoe FD - $7200 DK - $6700Opponent - CLEProj Pts FD - 34.57 DK - 35.33 With Giannis Antetokounmpo dealing with a quad injury and suiting up on Friday, we're going to bet that he sits out here. When Giannis is out, Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe become two of the best plays on the board. With last year's MVP off the floor, Bledsoe is leading the team with a 33.4 percent usage rate while averaging 1.43 DK points per minute. That rate would equate to 50 fantasy points in 35 minutes of action which would be absurd production from a player in the $7,000-range. The matchup against Cleveland isn't too shabby either, with Cleveland ranked 26th in defensive efficiency.  NOTE: Bledsoe left Friday's game with a shin contusion which would make George Hill and Pat Connaughton good options if he sits out! Ish Smith FD - $5800 DK - $5400Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 28.11 DK - 28.12 With Isaiah Thomas dealing with an ankle issue, Smith is one of the best values out there. The simple fact is, this dude has always been productive when starting. Not only has he played at least 31 minutes in the last four starts he's made, Smith has also scored at least 22 DK points in all of those. That 4X floor is hard to overlook and he's shown us in the past that he has 40/50-point potential whenever he receives 35 minutes of play. We especially love the speedster against a team like the Grizzlies, with Memphis ranked sixth in pace and 26th in points allowed.  If Goran Dragic is...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Friday, 12/13/19 A quick note on these picks before we get started. There are two big pieces of injury *news* that I’m operating under right now. The first is that Giannis Antetokounmpo will sit out again on Friday. The Bucks don’t have a lot of incentive to rush him back and they get a bad Memphis team. The other is that Kawhi Leonard will sit out the front end of this back-to-back. Him sitting on Friday and playing Saturday makes a lot more sense with spacing out the rest between his games. If either or both change then this would make the writeups very different. I’ll make alternate notes about plays outside of these two teams of course. But these are my baseline assumptions.

Point Guard Eric Bledsoe FD - $6700 DK - $6700Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 41.67 DK - 42.3 George Hill FD - $3600 DK - $4100Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 21.52 DK - 21.84 It really doesn’t look like Giannis is going to play on Friday against the Grizzlies after sitting on Wednesday in the game against the Pelicans. The Bucks didn’t need him in the former and likely won’t need him in the latter either. Bledsoe goes from a 23% usage on the season to 32% with Antetokounmpo off the court. He took 13 shots in just 25 minutes on Wednesday finishing with 29 points and six assists. Even with the price increase AND risk of blowout (because that’s just what Milwaukee does) we could be staring down another Bledsoe chalk night on Friday. He was 90%+ owned in cash games against the Pelicans and could see similar numbers on Friday. Meanwhile Hill played 19 minutes on Wednesday and got there with 13 points, three assists and three steals. I think he actually could be in line for a few more minutes here if the game stays even a little closer and makes for an interesting cheap play. Tyus Jones FD - $4300 DK - $3700Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 19.58 DK - 19.29 De'Anthony Melton FD - $4100 DK - $3900Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 28.51 DK - 27.63 Ja Morant has already...

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 - $11400 DK - $11400 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 58.5 DK - 62.66 What can you really say about Luka that hadn't been said before? He's having the best age 20 season, is in the MVP discussion before he can legally drink in the US, and contributes across the board with the best in the league. He's also just a little bit cheap right now thanks to a stretch of blowouts. We saw that his true rotation is still at least 35 minutes against Sacramento, and if that's the case you'll happily run him against a Detroit team with legitimately no one who can defend him. The Pistons aren't a great match-up in a vacuum, but on a small slate you can't get too picky. Monte Morris FD - $3600 DK - $3900 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 29.88 DK - 29.84 With Jamal Murray likely to miss this one, you're going to see a lot of Monte Morris out there tonight. The match-up with Lillard and Portland is fine, but this is just a classic price and opportunity mismatch, and on a tiny slate you really can't ask for a whole lot more.     Shooting Guard C.J. McCollum FD - $7000 DK - $6800 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 35.11 DK - 35.76 Another player who's just a little bit too cheap after playing in repeated blowouts, McCollum comes in as a solid but unspectacular value at a really bad position tonight. McCollum's true rotation is around 37 minutes, and scoring just a fantasy point per minute should get you there. If some value opens up anywhere at shooting guard either of the guys listed here will fall off immediately, but in the meantime I think you're getting a reasonable floor in a game that shouldn't result in a blowout. DeMar DeRozan FD - $8200 DK - $7300 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 37.85 DK - 38 To address your concern straight-away: yes, there is likely a little bit of blowout risk here. But the Spurs aren't exactly a world beater this year, and...

  FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 12/11/19 This is one of the largest slates in recent memory, with the NBA treating us with an 11-game schedule. That's all we can ask for in terms of DFS, as there are a ton of great picks out there. That's why we'll offer up the two-best plays on the board and mix in a bunch of value plays around them. 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 Spencer Dinwiddie FD - $8000 DK - $8100Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 41.99 DK - 43.22 Dinwiddie has been an absolute monster since Kyrie Irving went down. It's not just Irving though, as Caris LeVert's absence has only added to Dinwiddie's value. That's really evident when you see that he has a 33 percent usage rate with those two off the floor while averaging 1.3 DK points per minute. That has led to him scoring at least 35 DK points in all 12 starts he's made for Irving while averaging 40 fantasy points per game. That's especially intriguing against a Hornets club who sits 27th in defensive efficiency.  Kyle Lowry FD - $8000 DK - $7100Opponent - LACProj Pts FD - 43.26 DK - 45.44 It's really hard to figure out why these DFS sites are keeping Lowry's price so affordable. The biggest reason we like him is his workload, ranking second in the NBA with over 37 minutes player per night. That absurd playing time has led to him averaging 39.7 DK points per game which is truly a ridiculous total from a player barely cracking $7,000. While Los Angeles is certainly a tough matchup, this should remain a competitive game between two tough teams, guaranteeing Lowry for another 35-40 minutes.  D'Angelo Russell is dominating the usage in Golden State, making him a great option against the Knicks.  Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $12200 DK - $12900Opponent - CLEProj Pts FD - 65.69 DK - 68.5 Harden is always a good pick and it's going to be tough to fade him in a spot like this. We're talking about the league leader with 62.1 DK points per game averaging close to 70 fantasy points since a subpar start...
