Point Guard/ Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $10300 DK - $10400Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 58.33 DK - 62.48 Joel Embiid is questionable for this game which means the big guy could be back after being on the shelf with foot soreness. But even if that was the case, I still think this is a fine spot to roster Harden. Detroit is the second-worst defense in the league this season and they run an above-average pace. The efficiency hasn’t been all the way there for Harden with Embiid out of the lineup, shooting just 39% from the field over his last four games, but the usage is solid and even if Embiid is back I don’t think the latter runs a ton of minutes. From a floor perspective, at these prices, Harden still makes for a good cash game option at these prices. Tyler Herro FD - $7800 DK - $8400Opponent - OKCProj Pts FD - 39.24 DK - 43.19 Kyle Lowry has already been ruled out of this game which means it’s likely that Tyler Herro and Jimmy Butler take over ball-handling duties even more in this offense. With Lowry off the court this season, Herro sees a moderate usage bump, up to 27.4%, the highest on the team. And the assist percentage climbs as well. He’s a solid deal on FanDuel especially if the minutes are going to tick up and he’s facing off against a Thunder team running the second-fastest pace in the league. Plus, there’s a chance Bam Adebayo misses this game too. Keep an eye on this situation. Killian Hayes FD - $7100 DK - $5700Opponent - PHIProj Pts FD - 30.62 DK - 32.92 The Pistons are going to be without Bojan Bogdanovic in this game and of course, are already missing Cade Cunningham for the rest of the season, though the latter has been the case for some time now. Hayes is coming off being a chalk play last time out and he more than paid off, taking 17 shots in his 34 minutes and finishing with 26 points, six assists, four rebounds, and three steals. Even as...

Guards De'Aaron Fox FD - $8900 DK - $8700 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 42.51 DK - 43.53 This slate is a bit on the light side when looking at elite guards, especially with Ja Morant questionable. This leads us to a more balanced build at the position and it starts with Fox who has emerged from his slump in a big way. Over the last 12 games dating back to mid-December, Fox has averaged 27.7 points and 6.9 rebounds for nearly 45 fantasy points a game. Volume and usage is not an issue either as he comes into tonight having taken 20 or more shots in three straight and five of his last six games. At sub $9K prices on both sites in a plus matchup against the Magic, Fox is my top guard and in play in all formats. Dennis Schröder FD - $5800 DK - $5700 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 26.6 DK - 29.26 The Lakers are playing a bit short-handed right now with both Austin Reaves and Lonnie Walker out for a couple of weeks and Anthony Davis still out. This has obviously led to some monster usage from LeBron but he hasn't been the only one benefiting as Schroder has seen a big increase in playing time and usage playing 32+ minutes and taking double-digit shots in six straight games while shooting over 50% from the field. He is very shooting dependant but in a game with a total approaching 240 against the Nuggets 24th ranked defense, I am on board in all formats. Tyus Jones FD - $5200 DK - $4900 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 35.25 DK - 37.85 This is a situation we will have to monitor leading up to lock as Ja Morant missed Sunday's game with a thigh injury and is questionable on Monday along with Demond Bane. As of writing this, I am going to assume the Griz aren't going to push their superstar in a game where they are 11-point favorites. That brings us to Tyus Jones who could be one of the top overall value plays on the slate once again. He got the start last night playing 34 minutes and while he took the 4th most shots, he was efficient making 7 of 15 for 21 points while adding six...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 1/8/23 The scoring in the NBA right now is nuts. Many skeptics would argue that it's a lack of defense, but that's a lazy response. It's all about the offenses because these players are unstoppable in today's NBA. It's led to more 40-point games than ever in the history of the sport, and the big stat lines will continue to flow in. We're projecting another one here from the hottest player in the NBA, so let's start there!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $12500 DK - $12900 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 65.15 DK - 68.02 This Doncic pricing is insane, but the Slovenian is worth it every single night. This guy is posting some of the most absurd stats in NBA history, leading the league with 64 DraftKings points per game. That's no surprise since he's flirting with a league-leading 40 percent usage rate, doing everything for this Dallas offense. His most recent form is truly ridiculous, averaging 41.4 points, 11.0 rebounds, 8.9 assists, and 1.9 steals over his last seven games. The only concern is that this is the second half of a back-to-back set. If Doncic does end up sitting, Spencer Dinwiddie and Christian Wood would be the best plays on the board. We say that because Oklahoma City ranks 25th in total defense. D'Angelo Russell FD - $7000 DK - $7300 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 33.38 DK - 34.34 Russell has remained around this $7K price tag, and it's hard to understand why. The former All-Star is amid one of the best stretches of his career right now, seeing a massive boost in usage and shot attempts in the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns. That's led to Russell scoring at least 33 DraftKings points in 17 of his last 20 games. He's also averaging over 35 fantasy points per game in that span, scoring over 40 DK points in half of those games. A matchup with the Rockets is the best part of this, with Houston surrendering the most fantasy points to opposing point guards. In their four matchups since the start of last season, D-Lo is averaging 41 DraftKings points per game. De'Anthony...

Guards Once again the guard we get Luka at the top of the guard position on a smaller slate but with a price quickly approaching $13K and with him dealing with a slight injury, I am going a more balanced direction tonight. Let's take a look. Klay Thompson FD - $7900 DK - $7900 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 38.45 DK - 42.57 We have multiple situations in which injuries are boosting other players and it starts with the Warriors guards as Steph Curry remains out of the lineup. Poole and Klay have taken on an incredible amount of usage in the offense but it's the latter who is not only cheaper but has been more consistent from a fantasy perspective. Going back to Christmas, Klay has averaged 26 shots a game and made the most of it with 24 or more real points and 40 or more DraftKings points in each of those games. He now gets a plus home matchup against the struggling Magic who have lost four of five while giving up an average of 121 points a game. Klay is my top PTS/$ guard in all formats. CJ McCollum FD - $8700 DK - $8500 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 40.38 DK - 44.71 It sounds like Brandon Ingram will finally return to the Pels lineup within the next week but until he does, we can comfortably roll out McCollum as a top guard, especially on a smaller slate. With Ingram out for over a month, the Pels managed to stay near the top of the Western Conference standings and a lot of that falls on McCollum who has been very consistent. Over his last 12 games, he has averaged 26.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 6.6 assists and has only tallied less than 40 DK points once in that time while averaging 45.6 per game. That balanced attack helps justify a rising price that is close to $9K on both sites and I will have exposure in all formats until Ingram returns. Markelle Fultz FD - $7200 DK - $6200 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 31.63 DK - 33.55 There is a real lack of value on this slate which has led me to a balanced approach and Fultz fits that mould, at least on DraftKings where the price still has...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $10200 DK - $10100Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 52.62 DK - 57.37 It’s going to be tough choosing among some of the more expensive options on this slate because there are a number of superstars in great spots on Friday. One of them is James Harden who will once again be running without Joel Embiid in the lineup. With Embiid out of the lineup this season, Harden has a 32% usage rate and could be looking at around 20 shots in this game. He’s coming off an overtime win against the Pacers on Wednesday that saw him put up 26 points, eight assists, and six rebounds, a line that would seem on the lower end of his expectation with Embiid out of the lineup. Along those lines, Tyrese Maxey (FD 7100 DK 7000) looks like he is back to full minutes now and is coming at a reasonable price on DraftKings. Buddy Hield FD - $6700 DK - $6200Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 33.28 DK - 37.1 Andrew Nembhard FD - $4300 DK - $3900Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 22.91 DK - 24.22 If looking for mid-tier or lower plays, there could be coming in this game between the Pacers and the Blazers. Both Hield and Nembhard are coming off playing 40+ minutes in an overtime game against the Sixers and Hield was particularly effective. He went for 22 points, nine rebounds, and six assists with his 22 shots, a team-high. The DraftKings price combined with extra points for the threes on that site make him an appealing option. Meanwhile, Nembhard could be more of a price play option if punts don’t open up as we get closer to lock. The minutes should be in the 30s for the rookie though admittedly the fantasy production is a bit hit or miss. That being said, he’s coming on the lower end of the pricing scale and the sites have gotten significantly more efficient with salaries of late. Josh Richardson FD - $4800 DK - $3800Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 24.28 DK - 26.9 Again, we might find ourselves hunting out...
