Point Guard Kyle Lowry FD - $8000 DK - $10000 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 47.99 DK - 50.2 You can't play Lowry on DraftKings at these prices, but the FanDuel price is comically low. We know he's playing 40 minutes a game in close contests, and with Toronto sitting as just 2.5 point favorites against the Thunder this game projects to be just that. He was on five straight games topping 40 fantasy points before the Christmas day debacle, and outside of these tough Boston match-ups he should be just fine. OKC doesn't represent the best match-up, as they play pretty slowly with league average defense, but on a small slate I'm just grabbing Lowry at this value price for the floor alone. Austin Rivers FD - $3700 DK - $3800 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 18.87 DK - 19.25 With Westbrook already ruled out of this one, it seems like a pretty easy call to just slide Austin Rivers into your DFS lineups on FanDuel and DraftKings. He didn't start the last time Russ was out, but he did contribute a wildly solid 14/5/5 line with two blocks against the Pistons. I don't see how the Rockets get away with playing Rivers for fewer than 25 minutes, and Rivers should be a great cash game play in this, erm, revenge game. The Pelicans don't seem to know what they want to do with Ball right now, as he followed an 18 minute start against the Trail Blazers with a 36 minute start against the Nuggets. Chris Paul is still pretty cheap, and Lonzo Ball is an interesting upside target in a fast paced match-up with a Rockets team that will sit Russell Westbrook but return Eric Gordon in this one. Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $11500 DK - $10700 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 66.21 DK - 69.05 No Westbrook? Against a team that's playing a top 5 pace with a bottom 6 defensive efficiency? Get ready to back up the truck, folks. Harden is still too cheap even when Russ plays, as evidenced by his 75% cash game ownership on a...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 12/28/19 After a few slow days in the midst of the holiday season, we're staring at a monster slate here. In fact, we have 14 games on this slate, with just two teams sitting. That is going to cause chaos in terms of injury reports and resting, especially considering there's a handful of teams playing in the second half of a back-to-back set. With that in mind, let's get into our favorite plays of the day!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 Tomas Satoransky FD - $5700 DK - $6000Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 32.15 DK - 32.23 We're going to kick things off with a couple of cheap point guards in order to get some studs into our build later. Satoransky is just that, as he's one of the best values of the day in the $6,000-range. The recent form from Sato is simply stupendous, scoring at least 35 DK points in four-straight games. That extends a streak in which he's averaging 28.3 fantasy points per game across his last 16 fixtures. He gets those fantasy points by stuffing the stat sheet and that should be a relatively easy task here with Atlanta ranked 28th in defensive efficiency and 29th in points allowed.  Elfrid Payton FD - $5600 DK - $6500Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 34.88 DK - 34.36 Payton is actually a very similar player to Satoransky because he too provides fantasy value through his stat-stuffing ways. He's shown that all the way back to his Orlando days and capturing the starting point guard role in New York is what's really made him valuable. In his three starts, Elf is averaging 34 DK points per game across 29.7 minutes of action. That's the rate we've seen throughout his career and he should continue to produce as long as he keeps getting the playing time. Facing Washington is the best part of this play though, with the Wizards ranked last in nearly every defensive metric.  If Malcolm Brogdon is out again, don't forget about Aaron Holiday.  Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $11700 DK - $11200Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 63.72 DK - 66.67 After a couple of nice values at point guard,...

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 Chris Paul FD - $7000 DK - $7200 Opponent - MEM Proj Pts FD - 40.92 DK - 41.1 CP3's price is down a little bit after a tough three game stretch that saw him lose minutes in a couple games and then run into the buzz-saw defense of the Clippers, but this match-up should be a nice opportunity for him to get back on track. The grit and grind Grizzlies of old are long gone, and the new look Grizz pair the league's 6th fastest pace with the league's 5th worst defensive efficiency. Vegas has the Thunder has 6.5 point favorites here, and the if Paul plays his full run of minutes he's a heavy favorite to pay his price and then some. Dejounte Murray FD - $5900 DK - $5700 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 32.58 DK - 31.78 Murray has rounded into a fantasy points per minute beast thanks to his incredible contributions on the defensive end, and his floor is among the highest at this price point thanks to his ability to contribute across the board. With 34.7 fantasy points per game over his last 7 games, he's just flat out under-priced right now, and I'll happily grab him in a league average match-up with the Mavs in any format. Also considered: Jalen Brunson, if Doncic is out once again. Given that there is some chance for Luka to come back here I didn't want to write him up entirely though. Shooting Guard Andrew Wiggins FD - $7300 DK - $7800 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 41.13 DK - 41.54 I'm not shy about getting Wiggy with it with Towns out, and this price on FanDuel is just a mystery to me. Wiggins has averaged just under 40 FanDuel points a game on the season, and that includes games where he was splitting Alpha duties with Towns. The Kings are in disarray right now, and the 10-19 Timberwolves are just 4 point dogs here. I have a hard time believing Wiggins doesn't get his in spite of Sacramento's depressingly slow pace. Garrett Temple FD - $4300 DK - $5800 Opponent -...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Monday 12/23/19 It's Christmas week, and before we get to Wednesday's gift of an entire day chock-full of marquee matchups to tear us away from our loved ones, we start the week out with an eleven game slate of basketball action tipping off at 7 PM ET this evening. Jerry has been tirelessly crunching all the numbers and now presents to you our top NBA plays for Monday night. Enjoy!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Russell Westbrook FD - $9600 DK - $8900 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 51.43 DK - 52.7 What more can be said about Russell Westbrook? Since leaving OKC for Houston, from a fantasy perspective, the man hasn't missed a beat. He's an ever-present triple-double threat, with a double-double all but guaranteed most nights. He sandwiched a season-high 40 point game in between two 30 point performances and has paid over 5X PPD (points per dollar) in eight of his last nine games played. This is one of several games on the agenda this evening with a projected total over 225 and the opening line sits at a mere 5.5 point spread. Since the calendar flipped over to December Westbrook has been playing some of his best ball of the season and that should continue this evening in a league-average matchup. Ish Smith FD - $4500 DK - $4500 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 29.18 DK - 29.26 The league, passed down a suspension for Isaiah Thomas, so look for Ish Smith to likely step into the starting role at the point for Washington while IT serves his time. Smith was a nonfactor in 20 minutes off the bench against Philly, but that was on the heels of 26 points in 29 minutes against the Raptors the night prior. With IT off the court, Ish sees his usage rise nearly 6% and in his career as a starter he's averaged 12.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game. The matchup is favorable against the Knicks, who present a slightly below average defensive matchup against opposing point guards, in the game with the highest projected total of the evening. I don't know that Ish will be chalk this...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 12/22/19 Hello there! A Lebron-less Lakers? The Clippers on the second half of a back to back? Value abounds, so let's make sense of it all.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Kemba Walker FD - $7900 DK - $8200 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 43.74 DK - 45.49 Revenge games are kind of a silly concept, but I won't mind throwing it out here given that Kemba is just a straight up good play anyway. Charlotte has played slowly this season, but they're also the 23rd ranked defense in terms of defensive efficiency. Kemba wasn't fantastic in their first meeting this season, but the context here is totally different. With Smart ruled out and Heyward currently questionable, the offensive burden will be squarely on Kemba's shoulders. Charlotte is also on the second half of a back to back here. There is some serious blowout risk with the Celtics sitting at 13 point favorites, but on a small slate I don't know if that can full scare us off. Jamal Murray FD - $6800 DK - $6800 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 37.19 DK - 37.93 I just think Jamal Murray is a great value right now. We played him at 2% ownership on DraftKings two nights ago and he rewarded us with 52 fantasy points in 36 minutes against the Timberwolves. Murray has been playing 35-36 minute rotations in close games recently, and while the Lakers are a tough match-up, Murray went for 22/5/5/1/2 in their last meeting. LeBron's likely absence should help keep this one close, and I love Murray's floor here. Also considered: Rajon Rondo. Rondo has seen a lot of cash game ownership recently even with LeBron on the floor, and given the Lakers incredible lack of depth in terms of ball handlers it's hard to imagine where else these minutes go. With both he and Caruso playing terribly last game I can't call this a cash game lock, but you have to at least consider it. Aaron Holiday if Jeremy Lamb is out again. Shooting Guard Lou Williams FD - $5100 DK - $6500 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 33.65 DK - 35.31 Lou Will...
