FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 12/27/20 Just a heads up about this Sunday slate. With the compressed schedule, 12 of the 20 teams going here are on back-to-backs.

Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $8300 DK - $9300Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 44.34 DK - 47.12 The Warriors have had a rough start to the season, losing the first two games by getting trounced in each. But they also had to face two of the best teams in basketball in the Nets and Bucks. Things ease up considerably here against the Bulls. Curry is averaging 20 points a game to start, but the minutes have only been around 30 because the 4th quarters were out of hand. He’s also adding about nine assists and four boards per game. The FanDuel price is too cheap to get away from in what lands as choice matchup against Chicago. Dejounte Murray FD - $7300 DK - $6800Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 38.7 DK - 38.42 Murray has had a solid start to the season mostly thanks to his ability to stay on the floor more consistently than what happened last year. Pop would jack the minutes around at times, sometimes having him see 25 or fewer. But it’s been 30 and 31 in the first two games and he’s nearly averaging a triple-double with 16 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds. The defensive stats haven’t been there in quite the same way, but I expect those to come around as the season moves a long. Considering his start to the season, it’s hard to argue with what Kyrie Irving is doing on a per minute basis. The issue here is that there’s some risk the Nets blow out the Hornets and that cuts the minutes. Shooting Guard Paul George FD - $7600 DK - $9600Opponent - DALProj Pts FD - 43.16 DK - 44.4 Kawhi Leonard took a nasty shot to the face on Christmas Day and had to get eight stitches. I’m not sure the Clippers will run him right back out there on Sunday and that could...

Point Guard Malcolm Brogdon FD - $7100 DK - $7400 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 37.36 DK - 38.82 Brogdon was, quite simply, phenomenal in the Pacers' opener against the Knicks. He was efficient on 8-16 shooting, and chipped in a well-rounded 8 assists, 7 rebounds, and 2 steals while he was at it. He played 35 minutes and appeared to be in excellent shape. Tonight he'll draw the Bulls, an average defensive team last year that arguably has gotten worse as it's shifted more minutes to the defensive challenged Coby White. I picture Brogdon rounding into an $8,000 DFS play in short order, and think we're getting a discount here. Dejounte Murray FD - $6900 DK - $6400 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 35.91 DK - 35.61 Speaking of under-priced point guards, Murray put up a Brogdon-esque 21/6/9/2 line against the Grizzlies before losing a few minutes when the game was out of hand. With Derrick White out for this one as well, we can expect Murray to shoulder a similar burden against the Raptors here. While the Spurs played a middle-of-the-pack pace over the course of last season, they were one of the fastest-paced teams in the bubble last year, and I think many players on this squad could be under-priced as a result. Terry Rozier FD - $6400 DK - $7000 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 31.88 DK - 33.46 Any concerns that Lamelo Ball was going to usurp the Charlotte point guard throne have to be at least set aside for the moment, with the Hornets' big-ticket point guard going to town for 42 points from the field an astounding 10 three-pointers against the Cavaliers in the Hornets' opener. He played 38 minutes out of the gate. Ball looked lost and didn't score a point in his 16 minutes on the court. Rozier's job looks safe for the time being, and while you don't love paying significantly more than you did in the opener, his floor looks high enough that you can justify it against a bad OKC team. Shooting Guard Buddy Hield FD - $5600 DK - $7100 Opponent -...

Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $11300 DK - $10700Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 57.92 DK - 62.43 It’s tough to like Doncic running into the Lakers on this slate, though LA looked moderately disengaged and disjointed in their first game of the season against the Clippers. The Mavericks lost their first game against the Suns, though he was once again fantasy elite with 32 points, eight rebounds, and five assists. No defensive stats and that line doesn’t quite get there on the price, but on this slate, I do trust him in the upper tier with the minutes as much as anyone who isn’t named Giannis. Jrue Holiday FD - $7000 DK - $7500Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 36.58 DK - 36.82 Get ready to see a lot of Bucks in your cash game lineups for Christmas Day. They opened the season against the Celtics with a one-point loss, but put up 121 points in that game. From a fantasy perspective, Holiday looked right at home with his new team running 38 minutes, getting up 16 shots; finishing with 25 points, six rebounds, and three assists. The minutes were the real standout in the first game of the season and could signal a new era in Milwaukee in terms of run. He gets the best matchup on the slate against the Warriors with the slate’s highest total. The FanDuel price is a little easier to stomach than DraftKings, but he has a high floor in the middle tier. Stephen Curry FD - $8700 DK - $10200Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 43.82 DK - 46.34 The Warriors got dumped on by the Nets in the first game, but it’s hard to blame Curry who finished with 20 points and 10 assists in his 30 minutes. At his DraftKings price, he’s for sure in play even against the Bucks who didn’t look as defensively sound in Game 1 considering what we’d come to expect from them last season. That being said, this Warriors team might just be bad and I do think there’s real blowout risk. Again, the DraftKings price is likely just cheap enough to survive...

Point Guard Ben Simmons FD - $9200 DK - $8700Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 40.79 DK - 40.45 Last season, the Wizards played the second-worst defensive efficiency in the league and ran the seventh-fastest pace. Though they’ve upgraded some of their pieces in the offseason it’s hard to see how they're going to improve a whole lot on defense. And with Russell Westbrook leading the charge, they actually might even pick things up from a speed perspective. A Westbrook-led OKC team in 2018-2019 was the fifth-fastest team in the league thanks to him getting out in transition. Simmons, with shooters around him in the starting lineup, could be even more lethal this season after averaging 16 points, eight assists, and eight rebounds last year. He also puts up as many defensive stats as any guard in the league. This is a high floor play at point guard. Malcolm Brogdon FD - $6600 DK - $6200Opponent - NYProj Pts FD - 36.63 DK - 37.99 Brogdon comes in and gets to face a Knicks’ defense that should be improved with Thibs but likely also still has a long way to go with their current personnel. Brogdon averaged 17 points and seven assists last season but was hurt back a big drop-off in three-point shooting. He had shot about 40% the previous two seasons in Milwaukee but dipped down to 32% last season. Under new coaching out of Nate McMillan, I expect Brogdon to see some better looks in this offense. That should tick the scoring back up some and he’s coming in the lower middle tier in a good matchup on Wednesday. If you think Dejounte Murray (FD $6200 DK $5600) has his minutes finally steadily get up to around the 30 mark, then he’s a good value at these prices considering he can pile up the fantasy scoring in a number of different ways. The Cavs are really short on guards with Exum and Delly out on Wednesday. That could leave a lot of minutes for Darius Garland (FD $4400 DK $4100) right out of the gate. Shooting Guard Zach LaVine FD - $7900 DK - $7900Opponent - ATLProj Pts...

Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $8700 DK - $9300Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 45.37 DK - 48.34 2019 was a lost season for Curry and the Warriors and this year could be a rocky one with them operating with so much new personnel. But if the final preseason game against the Kings was any indication, Curry is likely to post some monster usage numbers this season with Klay Thompson on the shelf. He chucked up 23 shots, including 13 three-pointers on his way to 29 points in 29 minutes. This Brooklyn team they are facing will be a problem on offense, but the defense, especially around the perimeter is a bit lacking. This game could very much turn into a shootout and there’s a high floor on Curry’s performance. Kyrie Irving FD - $9000 DK - $8500Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 43.61 DK - 44.44 Kyrie put up 17 and 18 points respectively in the Nets' first two preseason games and he should be among the league leaders in scoring this season even with the time-sharing the court with Kevin Durant. They will account for such an outsized part of the Nets offense and both will likely be able to sustain these prices considering the pace at which the Nets are projected to play. This game should be up and down the court which will really play into Kyrie’s skill set. On FanDuel, stacking the two, star point guards is likely the way to go. If looking to go a little cheaper, I don’t mind a low ceiling Patrick Beverley (FD 4200 DK 4400) play. He remains the starter and can put up fantasy points in dribs and drabs if the minutes are there. It’s not a rousing endorsement, but that’s the case sometimes with punt plays on small slates. Shooting Guard Paul George FD - $7600 DK - $7800Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 37.89 DK - 39.03 The usage dips when he shares the court with Kawhi Leonard, but the price is totally reasonable on both sites for George. He’s priced in the middle tier for a reason coming off a season in which he...
