We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $9900 DK - $9600 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 50.11 DK - 53.22 Curry is going to remain in these articles until he gets the $10,000 price tag he deserves. The reason we believe he's a five-figure player is his role, averaging 20 shots a game while leading the club with a 31.4 percent usage rate. Those are some of the highest usage numbers of his career and it's just a matter of time before he starts dropping 50-point games at ease. Facing off against Danian Lillard is a good way to start, with Lillard being one of the worst defensive point guards in the NBA. Steph has scored at least 42 DK points in seven-straight games against the Blazers en route to a 52-point average. Raul Neto FD - $4500 DK - $3400 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 4.53 DK - 4.47 With Russell Westbrook expected to sit in the second half of a back-to-back set, the Wizards are going to be all over this article. Neto is actually the direct beneficiary, starting at point guard for Russ. While he's relatively unproductive when Westbrook plays, Neto proved in his one start that he can go beast mode when given the opportunity. In fact, Raul collected 22 points, four rebounds, five assists and three steals across 32 minutes of action in that rare start. That equates to 41 fantasy points which would be an absurd 12X value on DraftKings at this price tag. Obviously, 12X is one of the best rates you'll see all season. With Atlanta owning one of the worst defenses in the NBA, Kyrie Irving is an intriguing option. Shooting Guard Bradley Beal FD - $9500 DK - $9400 Opponent - MIN...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Thursday, 12/31/20 This marks the final day of 2020! Good riddance! The good news is that basketball chugs along and we continue to grind out DFS profits. After a six-game slate on Wednesday, we're looking at a seven-game ledger here. We have no teams playing the second half of a back-to-back set and that makes things much easier on us. We'll give you a bunch of main slate plays today, and sprinkle in a few select plays from earlier slates as well. So, without further ado, let's get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Malcolm Brogdon FD - $7700 DK - $7300 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 39.46 DK - 40.81 Brogdon is quietly one of the best all-around point guards in the NBA and people need to take notice of how good this kid truly is. What makes him so special are his stat-stuffing ways, averaging 20.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game. That's led to him scoring at least 32 DraftKings points in all four fixtures this season and that's a heck of a floor from a player south of $8K. All of that pairs beautifully with this matchup, facing a Cleveland team that owned the worst defensive rating in the NBA last season. That was certainly evident when Brogdon averaged 45 DK points per game in three outings against them last year. Elfrid Payton FD - $5200 DK - $5900 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 38.46 DK - 38.13 Payton found his way into this article on Tuesday and we're going to keep going back to him until his price rises to where it should be. What kept it so low were two terrible games to start the year but scoring 33 and 43 DK points in his last two outings show just how good he can be. Much like Brogdon, Payton provides value through stat-stuffing and that gives him a pretty nice floor considering his shot is busted. We're talking about a dude who's collected 41 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists in those two games and he seems to always flirt with triple-doubles when given the minutes to do so. The best...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 12/30/20 It's been an awesome start to the NBA season! Yesterday's article was full of great plays like Elfrid Payton, Tyler Herro, Zach LaVine and Julius Randle and we're going to look to keep that momentum rolling here. This is a much smaller slate though, with only six games on the docket. Without further ado, let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $11400 DK - $10700 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 58.24 DK - 62.9 Doncic is obviously one of the best players in fantasy basketball and it's just a matter of time before he drops a 60-burger on someone's head. That actually should have happened on Sunday but Luka was limited to just 26 minutes because of the 51-point win over the Los Angeles Clippers. That was his third-straight game with at least 44 DraftKings points though and that's likely going to be his floor for most of the season. The thing that we really love is his usage with Kristaps Porzingis sidelined, leading the NBA with a 38 percent usage rate. That's a monster total and that's really bad news for a Charlotte club ranked 24th in total defense last season. Kyrie Irving FD - $9400 DK - $8900 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 46.06 DK - 47.27 Irving has been sparkling in his first few games of the season and it extends a rather remarkable run from 2019 as well. In fact, Irving averaged 48 DK points per game in limited action last season and is backing that up with a 46-point average this year. That should make him a five-figure player on both sites but he remains a solid value in the $9,000 range. The best part about using him today is the fact that he gets to match up with Trae Young. Not only is Young a terrible defender, it's also the sort of matchup that will light a fire under Kyrie. Not to mention, Atlanta ranked 27th in defensive efficiency last season. Dejounte Murray is flirting with triple-doubles regularly and remains a good value on both sites. Shooting Guard Khris Middleton FD - $7800 DK -...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday, 12/29/20 We've had about a week of basketball to research and it's been a very interesting start to the season. There have been numerous injuries and a lot of resting in the opening week and that's expected to be the case for the whole year. Luckily, we don't have much in terms of back-to-backs here, so, resting shouldn't be a huge issue. With that in mind, let's break down this Tuesday slate. Head on over for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer and our NFL Optimizer. Plus our new player lab!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $9400 DK - $9600 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 49.99 DK - 52.84 Curry has always been a stud but he should go crazy this season with Kevin Durant gone and Klay Thompson injured. That's certainly been the case in the early going, posting a 31 percent usage rate while taking 21 shots a game. That usage is big news for a dude who might be the best shooter of all-time and his 44 fantasy points per game thus far might end up being his floor from here on out. We love the matchup against Detroit too, as we should have a competitive matchup against one of the worst teams in the NBA. Golden State playing close games is arguably the most important aspect of Curry's value. Elfrid Payton FD - $4800 DK - $5500 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 32.55 DK - 32.1 Payton was downright dreadful in his first two games of the season but his stellar performance on Sunday shows the sort of potential this kid has. Elf provided 27 points and seven assists in that gem and he's plenty capable of providing fantasy lines like that regularly. In his final 21 games last season, Payton averaged 35.6 DK points per game. That obviously makes him a huge value in this $5,000 price range and we love that he faces a Cleveland defense surrendering the most fantasy points in the league to opposing point guards. Russell Westbrook has been amazing in his first few games with the Wizards and is another great pick with his stat-stuffing ways. Shooting Guard Zach LaVine FD - $7500 DK - $8400 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 40.02 DK - 41.77 It's strange to see...

Point Guard Ja Morant FD - $8500 DK - $8300Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 42.39 DK - 44.05 Don't look now, but one of the league's most exciting young players might just be making a leap. Morant has shot 24 times a game over his first two this season - a 10 shot jump over last year's average - while being even more efficient from the field. He's played 4 more minutes per game, which looks to be his rotation in close games going forward. Now this Brooklyn game rates to be his toughest test yet in terms of Memphis' ability to stay in the game, but nobody will accuse Kyrie and Dinwiddie of being a strong defensive backcourt. Morant is going to settle in as a player who's 10% more expensive in short order, and I'm a buyer on these prices. Jamal Murray FD - $7100 DK - $7100Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 35.7 DK - 36.55 Isn't this kind of a steal for what we got used to expecting from Murray during the bubble last season? I get that it's been a rocky start so far, but if there's one thing we've learned from 7 years in this business it's this: we want to be buyers when a guy's price drops due to a bad shooting percentage. Murray went 1-9 in his debut, which has sandbagged his entire DFS season. He still got 20 shots in the air against the Clippers, and the 37 minutes he played mean the Nuggets aren't concerned about his calf. If he merely returns to last season's form, he's a terrific play against a banged-up Rockets team that has trouble with speedy point guards. Also considered: Killian Hayes? Playing in the NBA has looked hard for the Pistons' rookie so far, but Derrick Rose sitting opens up a lot of ball-handling duties. Shooting Guard Harden With John Wall still in his mandated quarantine, Harden will continue to work his way back into shape against the Nuggets on Monday. It's not like the few extra pounds really hurt his ability to play basketball, very well, for a long period of time - Harden...
