Point Guard JA Morant FD - $6500 DK - $6900 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 37.94 DK - 39.37 It's an under-card marquee game on this slate, with Memphis clinging to the 8th seed in the West and the Trail Blazers being one of the two teams that's 3.5 games back of them. Memphis has eased Morant into a slightly longer rotation recently, and he's been supplying a steady diet of 5x+ points per dollar performances over the last couple of weeks. He's coming off a game against Orlando where he played a career high 35:20, and it's a welcome sign that he did well against an Orlando team that's been a brutal DFS match-up based on their slow pace. Portland represents a solid spot here, and I'm happy to deploy Morant in any format. Coby White FD - $6200 DK - $6900 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 34.65 DK - 36.49 White forced the Bulls hand after putting up huge night after huge night off the bench, and now that he's starting, it sure looks like he's just under-priced relative to his current opportunity. He's playing 37 minute rotations in close games, and really hasn't given up a whole lot of usage in spite of playing alongside the starters more often. Recent returns have him looking like a $7k player (closer to his DraftKings price, actually), so getting this discount on FanDuel more than makes up for the slow match-up with the Magic. Keep an eye on the crazy Bucks. If Giannis misses Eric Bledsoe should be the highest owned PG, assuming he plays. Shooting Guard Caris Levert FD - $7100 DK - $7500 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 41.56 DK - 42.55 While there is some outstanding injury news surrounding this game, the one thing that looks pretty safe right now in Nets land is Caris Levert. Levert has been totally unleashed at this point, leading the team in both minutes and usage, and leading the under-manned Nets to some impressive wins in the process. If he's really going to be a 35-38 minute a game guy that is also the primary ball...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Wednesday, 3/11/20
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 3/11/20 Monday's slate was a complete disaster with the crap that Milwaukee pulled but Tuesday was more normal. Random restings are going to become more common over the final month of the season though and it makes things very difficult on us. That's why we're going to try to forecast some potential absences and our first play is definitely one of those guys who could benefit from a teammate being out.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $11200 DK - $11000Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 51.35 DK - 53.72 With Dallas playing on Tuesday, it seems very likely that Kristaps Porzingis will sit in the second half of a back-to-back set. That's huge for everyone in this offense, with KP averaging 51.4 fantasy points per game over his last 14 fixtures. That's a lot of production to make-up and it's clear that Doncic is in take-over mode when you see his 40 percent usage rate with Porzingis off the floor. He's also averaging 1.7 DK points per minute with KP sidelined and averaged 53 DraftKings points per game in the 12 games that he's missed this season. De'Aaron Fox FD - $7800 DK - $7800Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 43.68 DK - 43.9 Fox is a little bit risky but there's a lot to like about him here. His biggest asset is his matchup, facing a Pelicans team that sits 27th in total defense and third in pace. That fast pace is even more attractive for a guy like Fox, as he's one of the fastest players in the NBA. He's been rolling recently too, scoring at least 33 DK points in 25 of his last 27 games while averaging 41 fantasy points per game in that span. That's rare to see from a player below $8,000 and it's scary to think how many stats he can accrue in this up=tempo matchup. Kendrick Nunn (FD $4600 DK $4800) would be a fantastic play if Jimmy Butler sits out with his toe injury. Shooting Guard Bogdan Bogdanovic FD - $5200 DK - $5100Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 30.81 DK - 31.92 It's crazy that Bogdanovic's price remains so affordable. Not only...

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 Derrick White FD - $4800 DK - $4600Opponent - DALProj Pts FD - 30.2 DK - 29.92 Dejounte Murray has already been ruled out for Tuesday and doesn’t have a timetable to return. That should open the door for Derrick White to get the start at point guard. White’s per minute numbers are actually decent, averaging 10 points, three assists and three rebounds in 24 minutes per game. If we tick him up into the low 30’s minutes as a projection, which is completely reasonable considering the current Spurs’ personnel he’s looking very much like a cash game play on both sites. Of course, we will hope for confirmation on the San Antonio starting lineup, but if he’s in there White makes a very good play. Coby White FD - $6400 DK - $6800Opponent - CLEProj Pts FD - 35.09 DK - 36.86 Shaquille Harrison FD - $4900 DK - $5000Opponent - CLEProj Pts FD - 40.34 DK - 37.52 The Bulls announced Coby White would enter the starting lineup on Tuesday, replacing Tomas Satoransky in that spot. White had essentially been the nominal starter over the last four games with Zach Lavine out. In that stretch, White’s averaged 35 minutes per game, and 21 shots leading to a 23 point, six assist average. With the move to the starters, I think we can get rather aggressive on the minutes and usage. The price has ticked up some in the short term because of how well he’s played, but he’s still something of a bargain in the middle tier. Meanwhile, Harrison has also been in the starting lineup over the last four with the minutes ramping up each game (16, 26, 34, 36) over that stretch. He’s been a steal machine, averaging almost three swipes per game over the last four. His ability to chip in across the box score, and the prospect of the minutes locking into the upper 30’s makes him a great cash game play on both sites. Point guard is pretty loaded today. There’s a strong case for Ricky Rubio (FD 6700 DK 7500) who’s been playing a lot lately and is coming off a...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Monday, 3/9/20
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Monday, 3/9/20 It's a three-game Monday slate of NBA action on FanDuel and DraftKings. Let's take a look at cash game plays for both sites. 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. Plus our new player lab!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Eric Bledsoe FD - $6000 DK - $5700Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 37.01 DK - 37.73 Well, Giannis Antetokounmpo has already been ruled out for Monday’s game after sitting on Sunday as well and neither site did much in the way of correcting the prices on the other Bucks’ pieces. That means we are looking at massive chalk plays for a few of these guys again on Monday. With Giannis off the court this season Bledsoe spikes to a 31.2% usage rate, the second-highest on the team in that scenario. The assist and rebound rates tick up dramatically as well which makes sense considering the amount of use raw stats that leave the court with the Bucks’ superstar isn’t around. This one is pretty set it and forget it for cash games and I suspect we see Bledsoe as something like a 90%+ play on both sites for Monday. Terry Rozier FD - $5900 DK - $6600Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 34.05 DK - 35.6 The Hornets’ season is effectively over at this point, but they are running their guards quality minutes still and Rozier has played 35+ in each of the last six games. In that span he’s averaging 19 points per game along with four assists. Sure, these aren’t overwhelming numbers but the opponents have been combinations (mostly) of either slow teams or really defensively sound ones. On Monday that won’t be the case when they face Atlanta who sports the third-worst defensive efficiency in the league with the fourth-fastest pace. This is a great buy spot on Rozier whose minutes should keep the floor reasonably high and he isn’t coming at exorbitant prices. If Fred VanVleet remains out you can consider Kyle Lowry (FD $7300 DK $8400). And I do think we could see some ownership on Trae Young (FD $9600 DK $10300). The We Got Nets guys jump on their Brooklyn Nets Podcast to look at the first game without Kenny Atkinson. Shooting Guard Khris Middleton FD - $7000 DK...
