We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Ish Smith FD - $5200 DK - $5200Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 28.08 DK - 28.32 With Isaiah Thomas out over the last couple of games, Ish has stepped into the starting lineup and been a fantasy darling over the last three games. He’s averaging 33 minutes a game with 16 points, 6.6 assists and a few rebounds thrown in there as well. The price has come up, but not requisite with the opportunity and you have to love the matchup here against the Hornets on a shorter slate. Almost for sure we’re going to see some major Wiz chalk on this slate with Ish and some other Washington guys. Charlotte is one of the worst defensive efficiency teams in the league and this represents the time to jump all over these Wiz guys. Kendrick Nunn FD - $4900 DK - $5400Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 27.7 DK - 28.44 This one is going to come down to how much you trust the Heat. Coach Spo’ will play matchups as much as any coach in the world and that *should* mean a ton of minutes for Nunn on Tuesday with Dragic and Winslow both still on the shelf. You are going to see a lot of Heat guys in the write ups here so prepare yourself accordingly. I don’t think he’s the safest guy on Miami, but he has a high enough floor in the starting lineup and should see plenty of minutes in this matchup. He’s coming off 37 in regulation (42 total) on Sunday against the Bulls and he scored 18 points with three rebounds and three assists. Those are pretty underwhelming numbers considering the run, but the price also doesn’t kill you here. I think he’s a very popular play on this slate. Other Thoughts I do think Damian Lillard (FD $9600 DK $8800) is somewhat interesting here against the Knicks. Shooting Guard Bradley Beal FD - $9700 DK - $9300Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 48.1 DK - 50.08 It’s never easy...

Point Guard Kemba Walker FD - $8100 DK - $8100Opponent - CLEProj Pts FD - 40.59 DK - 41.95 The Celtics have been able to pull away late in some games recently, meaning Walker hasn’t had to play a full run of minutes. And honestly, with Boston as -13.5 home favorites against the Cavaliers on Monday that could be the case again. The issue is that point guard, especially on FanDuel is a weaker one unless we get some solid injury news on other guys leading into lineup lock. Walker should be able to attack the Cavs’ lack of perimeter defense and this could look very much like a volume shooting game for Walker. He’s been averaging close to 19 shots per game over the last five and that’s even on somewhat limited minutes compared to his season average. I think the floor is high enough for Kemba but I am worried about the blowout risk. After Walker, we are going to need to wait on some injury news before making some final decisions about the position. If Fred VanVleet needs to sit this one out with the knee contusion then Kyle Lowry (FD 8000 DK 6800) becomes very interesting. The latter hasn’t had any minutes restrictions since coming back from injury and would be a candidate to play 40+ if FVV sits. If Malcolm Brogdon sits again then Aaron Holiday (FD 3700 DK 4100) would make for a solid punt play. He played 28 minutes in the start last game and went for 12 points, five assists and four rebounds. Shooting Guard Lou Williams FD - $6800 DK - $6500Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 34.05 DK - 35.74 With Kawhi Leonard likely to sit on Monday, Lou Williams is in for a volume game against the Pacers. In the four games Kawhi’s sat this season, Lou-Will is averaging 23 points and nine assists on almost 16 shots per game. On DraftKings he’s an easy play considering the circumstances and the price. I suspect he’s something like a chalk play there no matter what. I suppose there’s a closer call on FanDuel but he’s likely the one of the most...

Point Guard Ish Smith FD - $4600 DK - $5000 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 28.79 DK - 28.98 The pricing here is just wrong as long as Thomas reminds sidelined. In his two games as a starter Ish has turned in two remarkably similar performances, averaging 17 points and 8 assists with a couple rebounds thrown in for good measure. It's a terrible match-up against the Clippers, and a blowout seems imminent, but the Wizards just flat out lack ball handlers right now, and I'm penciling Smith in for 5x points per dollar at the very worst. Jeff Teague FD - $5900 DK - $6500 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 32.51 DK - 32.99 Teague went off in Wiggins' absence against the Thunder, dropping 53.5 fantasy points in the Wolves' overtime loss to the Thunder. This is a play that's entirely dependent upon Wiggins' status. If he misses, Teague is a phenomenal play and almost a cash game must. If Wiggins returns, you can probably ignore him. Here's to hopping Wiggins takes an extra day on that sprained thumb and we can get another great crack at Teague as a DFS cash game option. Kendrick Nunn FD - $5100 DK - $5300 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 27.41 DK - 28.15 With Winslow likely missing this one again, Nunn's floor should remind nice and steady. While Butler is assuming the lion's share of the point guard duties, Nunn is still a very necessary part of that offense as a secondary ball handler. Chicago is a solid match-up, ranking as the 12th best match-up for opposing back-courts, but what I love about Nunn here is that Butler almost has to draw the majority of the Bulls' defensive ire. I think Nunn breaks free for a 30+ fantasy point performance here. Also considered: i like what I'm seeing from Chris Paul right now.     Shooting Guard Jimmy Butler FD - $9300 DK - $8800 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 45.97 DK - 44.91 With Winslow out against the Wizards, Butler marched out there and dropped a triple double with 3 defensive stats...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 12/7/19 Friday night was full of wild games and we're back at it here! Unfortunately, we only have five games ahead of us and we could be looking at another night full of blowouts. In fact, we don't have a single spread within six points and we have four of the five games posting a spread at 9.5 points or higher. That means raw points will be critical and that's why we'll offer up a good mixture of studs and value plays. In addition, we'll go ahead and avoid recommending anyone from the DAL-NOP matchup, which takes place before the main slate. With that in mind, let's get into our plays!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Ricky Rubio FD - $7600 DK - $6800Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 35.26 DK - 35.5 The point guard selections on this slate are very volatile, so let's go with a consistent guy like Rubio. The Spaniard is actually in the midst of one of his best seasons ever, averaging 12.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game. If you take out the three games where Rubio was dealing with injury, he's actually scored at least 30 DK points in all of the other 13 outings while averaging just shy of 40 fantasy points per game. That's huge against a Houston club who sits third in pace and 25th in points allowed.  De'Anthony Melton FD - $5500 DK - $5200Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 26.58 DK - 25.9 Many people will pivot to Tyus Jones in the absence of Ja Morant because Jones will be starting but Melton is the sharper play. Memphis finally became privy to that in the last loss, starting Melton in the second half. It's really no surprise when you see his production, with Melton averaging 33 DK points per game across 26 minutes of action over his last three fixtures. That's all you can ask for from a $5,000 player and he should continue to see a big role as long as Morant remains out.  If you're playing the early slate, it's impossible to avoid Luka Doncic against a bad Pelicans defense.  Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $12100...

Point Guard Ish Smith FD - $4300 DK - $3600 Opponent - MIA Proj Pts FD - 27.11 DK - 27.22 Ish was huge chalk on Thursday night, as he filled in for the injured Isaiah Thomas. With Thomas nursing this calf strain I'd imagine they are just giving him a couple of nights off, and if they do, this is far too cheap for a guy who is truly running the point for 30+ minutes near minimum prices. It's a simple price and opportunity mismatch, and he's a must play everywhere if Thomas sits again. Spencer Dinwiddie FD - $8500 DK - $8200 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 42.61 DK - 43.97 Dinsanity rages on, as Dinwiddie has essentially stepped into the role that Kyrie vacated. He's averaged 20+ shots and 22 points from the field in the last three games, and some tough shooting luck from his teammate is all that's kept him away from being up near double digit assists as well. Charlotte is stone cold terrible, ranking fourth worst in the league in defensive efficiency with no back-court defense to speak of whatsoever. The Nets are only 2.5 point favorites here, so a tight game should yield lots of minutes and possessions for Dinwiddie to do his thing. Also considered: Terry Rozier and Jamal Murray as interesting midrange options. Patty Mills is an interesting big tournament option off the bench for the Spurs.   Shooting Guard Jimmy Butler FD - $9100 DK - $8100 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 44.64 DK - 43.46 Butler has been a DFS beast in his last two games, topping 37 minutes and 52 fantasy points in each of them, a feat that's particularly noteworthy because he still topped both of those figures in a game that the Heat lost by 21 to the Celtics. Tonight he'll grab a far cushier match-up with the Wizards, who as of this very moment are the literal perfect match-up, playing the league's fastest pace and the worst defensive efficiency. What's more, the Wiz have been good enough on offense that they are actually hanging with teams, so a blowout shouldn't...
