FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 2/12/20 This is my final article before the All-Star break and it's been a blast so far. That leaves us with a monster 11-game slate for today and that should make things interesting with so many injuries throughout the league. What's funny is that the biggest absence is not due to injury because Giannis Antetokounmpo is now a father. That is going to be a game-changer on this slate and a major theme in this article!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 Damian Lillard FD - $9600 DK - $10200Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 52.89 DK - 55.45 This man is an absolute freak right now and it's simply hard to fade him in such a tasty matchup. Let's kick things off by talking about his opposition, facing a Memphis club who sits fourth in pace and 21st in total defense. That pace alone makes Lillard one of the hardest players to fade out there, scoring at least 42 fantasy points in 12 of his last 14 games while averaging 58.3 DraftKings points per game in that span. That happens to be one of the highest totals in the NBA and the only other guys approaching that average are closer to $12,000. Coming off the back-to-back blowout loss to the Pelicans, we aren't all that concerned with any reduction in minutes here.  Eric Bledsoe FD - $6700 DK - $7700Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 41.05 DK - 42.01 Milwaukee players are going to be a common theme in this article and it's easy to see why with Giannis Antetokounmpo out of the lineup. That's 30 points, 13.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists and a league-leading 37 percent usage rate gone and a guy like Bledsoe is plenty capable of taking over ball-handling duties in his absence. With him off the floor, Bledsoe is second on the team with a 32.8 percent usage rate while averaging 1.5 DK points per minute. While Bledsoe has only played three games that Giannis has sat, he's actually scored at least 44 fantasy points in all of them while averaging 51 DraftKings points per outing.  Kyle Lowry (FD $7300 DK $7900) remains a great value below $8,000 against a 20th-ranked Nets defense,...

Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $9800 DK - $10300Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 55.48 DK - 58.24 Since January 15th, or his last 13 games, Dame has been nothing short of extraordinary. In that stretch, which included some games without C.J. McCollum, Lillard has averaged 39 minutes per game and an absurd 39 points, nine assists and five rebounds along with some blocks and steals to boot. Few players have put up this kind of fantasy run and while the price is up, it’s not really up enough. He’ll play the Pelicans who run the third-fastest pace in the league and there’s no secret why this game has the highest total on the slate. Lillard, at sub-$10K will probably be the chalk play on FanDuel. Lonzo Ball FD - $6700 DK - $7300Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 38.52 DK - 39.89 The Pelicans have been dealing with some injury issues and Brandon Ingram is once again questionable for this game. Ball makes for a fine cash play though considering he produces, fantasy-wise, in a number of different ways. Over his last five games he’s put up double-digit points four times, rebounds twice and assists once (getting close two other times). It’s made for a 11 point, eight rebound, seven assist average with nearly two steals per game. The Blazers don’t defend opposing guards all that well, run a top-11 pace and have the 25th-ranked defense in the league. This is a good spot for Ball and he’s been playing about 37 minutes per game in the short term. If Demar DeRozan sits this out then Dejounte Murray (FD 5100 DK 5200) would be a very good play. Listen to Episode 50 of the We Got Nets, Brooklyn Nets Podcast Shooting Guard Zach LaVine FD - $9000 DK - $8200Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 44.71 DK - 46.43 Lavine is coming too cheap on DraftKings facing off against DFS gold in the form of the Wizards. Washington runs a breakneck pace and plays almost no defense so it’s no secret we’re often stacking plays against them. Lavine is coming off a rough, 9-turnover game, against the Sixers in...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Monday, 2/10/20 The trade deadline is in our rearview, the All-Star break is coming down the pike, but there's still plenty of basketball action to sink our teeth into for a Monday slate. Let's get to it on a pretty full NBA slate for DraftKings and FanDuel. 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 Reggie Jackson FD - $5900 DK - $6600Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 33.88 DK - 35.6 Jackson continues to put up a ton of shots in the Pistons “offense” with Derrick Rose on the shelf and that isn’t likely to change as long as the latter is out. He’s scored 25, 28, and 20 points in each of the last three games with nine assists in two of the last three. It’s the dimes that are particularly encouraging for maintaining a higher fantasy floor and the minutes should be there as long as the game stays close. The Pistons have very few options at these point and the matchup against the Hornets is okay enough considering they are awful at defense, though do run a super slow (98.7) pace. Malcolm Brogdon FD - $6500 DK - $6900Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 36.2 DK - 37.39 There’s been some weird game scripts with Brogdon of late which do place him as a prime candidate for a cash game play on Monday because the price is still in check. He’s shot poorly from three over the last five (29%) and the minutes have fluctuated in a weird way. But I do believe the plan in close ones is to play him 33-34 and that’s enough to make a play at these prices on both sites. The Nets don’t bring a ton of perimeter defense and have trouble defending the pick and roll. This is a good spot for Brogdon who should have a higher minutes floor. If D'Angelo Russell sits out again then Jordan McLaughlin (FD $4600 DK $5300) would be a solid cash game play again considering the minutes floor would be pretty high. If Jimmy Butler remains out then Kendrick Nunn (FD $4600 DK $6000) and Goran Dragic (FD $5400 DK $5900) are both still very much in play. Shooting Guard Caris...

Point Guard Kendrick Nunn FD - $4900 DK - $5600 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 27.08 DK - 27.92 With Butler already ruled out, the Heat are all very much in play again today. Nunn saw reasonable cash game play last game, and while he didn't knock your socks off, he did put together a perfectly respectable 25.7 FanDuel points. And honestly, that looked like his floor. Nunn shot just 6 of 19 from the field and his teammates left a few of his assists on the table as well. Nunn is a good shooter, and Portland's back court isn't exactly known for their defense. I think he bounces back and is an excellent cash game play here. JA Morant FD - $6200 DK - $6300 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 36.41 DK - 37.5 Your run of the mill DFS players will look at Morant's game log and proclaim that he has been "struggling recently," and elect not to play him. Not this DFS writer. Morant has been involved in literally 5 straight blowouts, and we know that in normal game scripts he gets a 32-34 minute rotation. He's $1,000 cheaper than his peak prices, and going up against a Washington team that represents literally the league's best DFS match-up is a great way to get back on track. Keep an eye on the Trae Young situation. If he sits both Teague and Goodwin would be squarely in play. Shooting Guard Kevin Huerter FD - $5000 DK - $6100 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 31.78 DK - 32.82 This play is mostly fueled by Trae's potential absence, but has plenty of legs even if Trae plays. Huerter has been playing 36-42 minutes in close games, and while blowouts are always a risk for the terrible Hawks going up against a terrible Knicks team that also lost one of their best scorers certainly makes this a little bit more appealing. You can't play Huerter on DraftKings if Trae plays, but on FanDuel I think he's a great option either way. Lou Williams FD - $5400 DK - $6800 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD -...
