Guards Luka Doncic FD - $12800 DK - $12600 Opponent - BOS Proj Pts FD - 61.1 DK - 62.52 On a larger slate, I might not lead off with Luka as the price is approaching $13K on both sites but with just four games I think it's crucial to lock in the insane floor he provides. He comes into the night having scored 57 or more DraftKings points in seven straight while averaging a ridiculous 77.8 along the way. The matchup isn't at the top of my list as the Celtics are 10th in defensive efficiency but Luka is practically matchup-proof at this point and a great building block in all formats. Ja Morant FD - $10500 DK - $10400 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 48.09 DK - 52.13 While Morant, or any other player for that matter, doesn't quite have the ceiling of Luka he has been incredibly consistent and more importantly comes at over a $2K discount on both sites making it a bit easier to build around. On the season, Morant has posted 40+ DraftKings points in 27 of 32 games(84%) and 50+ in 17 of those which is greater than a 53% rate and a terrific floor for fantasy. We have him meeting or exceeding that 50-point mark tonight in a plus matchup against the short-handed Magic who rank 23rd in defensive efficiency. Fire up Morant comfortably in all formats. Mike Conley FD - $6200 DK - $5700 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 30.4 DK - 32.75 Value at the guard position is scarce, so let's turn to a game with the highest total on the slate. The Jazz are 5.5-point favourites with the highest implied team total on the slate and it comes down to matchup as the Rockets have struggled mightily on the defensive end(28th in efficiency) this season. For Conley, his usage was limited upon his return to the lineup in mid-December but that has since changed as he has taken double-digit shots in four of his last five games but it's the assists(7.8 per game) that have given him safety for fantasy averaging 31.9 DK points per game during that stretch. Conley is in play for me in all formats tonight. Small Forward Gary Harris FD - $3800 DK - $3800 Opponent - MEM Proj Pts FD -...
Daily Fantasy DraftKings and FanDuel NBA Picks – Wednesday, January 4, 2023
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 1/4/23 This is going to be a wild slate. We have 12 games in total and one of the most massive player pools all year. The injury report is also ridiculous, and we should see some big lines once again. We've had a handful of 50-point games over the last week, and it's becoming evident that these absurd stat lines are going to continue for the remainder of the season. I wasn't so sure we'd ever see a 100-point game ever again, but I'm starting to change my tune with the way people can score nowadays. It surely won't happen here, but we should see some big games from some undervalued players.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard CJ McCollum FD - $8600 DK - $8200 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 40.32 DK - 41.43 McCollum is my favorite play on the board. It looks like New Orleans will be without Brandon Ingram (toe) and Zion Williamson (hamstring) for this game, leaving McCollum to do everything. That means he should play 35-40 minutes, take 20-25 shots, and flirt with a 40 percent usage rate. He's already had a few opportunities to run the show without those stars this season, averaging 25.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.3 blocks in the last three games without Zion and BI. That alone makes him an amazing value below $9K, but he also faces a Rockets team that's allowing the most fantasy points to opposing guards this season. Markelle Fultz FD - $6800 DK - $6600 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 42.24 DK - 42.06 It's been a long road for Fultz to get to this point, but the 2017 number-one pick is healthy for the first time in his career. He's more than just healthy, he is also playing the best basketball of his career right now. The former Philly guard has scored at least 27 DraftKings points in eight of his last nine games, generating a 35-point average in that span. His ability to stuff the stat sheet is what makes him such a reliable option, struggling with his shot but providing a multitude of statistics. That means he has an even...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Jordan Clarkson FD - $7100 DK - $7000Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 34.61 DK - 38.92 Mike Conley FD - $5800 DK - $5300Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 29.55 DK - 32.37 The game between the Jazz and the Kings has, by far, the biggest total on this three-game slate at 242.5 and we are going to want as much exposure as possible to this one. It’s a little easier on DraftKings than it is on FanDuel with guys like Clarkson and Conley coming cheaper there. The Jazz are without Colin Sexton in this one, making them a bit thinner in the backcourt and both the starters should see minutes in the low-to-mid 30s as long as the game stays close. Clarkson has scored 20+ points in seven consecutive games and is getting up about 17 shots per game over the last month. He has to score in order to hit value though the assists will come from time to time. Meanwhile, Conley’s usage can come and go depending on the game, though the assists haven't been there consistently. This should be a faster game though with the Kings running the 4th fastest pace with the 24th-ranked defensive efficiency. De'Aaron Fox FD - $8800 DK - $9000Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 44.51 DK - 47.61 Again, this is the game to target, and trying to fit pieces from the Kings and Jazz on the shorter Tuesday slate is going to be the way to go. Fox is a bit cheaper on FanDuel and we could be playing mix and match depending on the different sites and the different pricing. Fox isn’t the most consistent guy in the world on a game-to-game basis, something of a byproduct of the way the Kings run their offense. But it’s also what has kept his price in the $8K range. He still has double-double potential and the Jazz have the 26th-ranked defensive efficiency on the season. Jrue Holiday FD - $8300 DK - $8100Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 41.49 DK - 45.39 We have an interesting case with Jrue Holiday here in knowing exactly how to play...

Guards Luka Doncic FD - $12400 DK - $12400 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 60.86 DK - 64.5 If you aren't just locking in the massive fantasy point floor at this point, you are missing out on an all-time run from Luka. He has now dropped 80 or more DraftKings points in three straight and four of his last five games while averaging a triple-double with 45.6 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 10.2 assists. He has even hit that 80 or more total twice against these Rockets in which he faces again tonight. The price has only come up slightly on the best player in fantasy against a bottom-three defence. There should be more than enough value on this bigger slate to build around Luka in all formats. LaMelo Ball FD - $9700 DK - $10000 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 49.09 DK - 54 The more optimal route on this slate is probably to load up on the Lakers/Hornets game which brings us the highest total(240.5) on the slate between two teams that run a Top 10 pace. We will talk about LeBron shortly but on the other side of the ball, we have another very consistent fantasy option in LaMelo Ball. When healthy, is easily one of the best fantasy guards in the game and since returning from injury in mid-December(10 games), he has been elite dropping at least 40 DraftKings points in every game and 50 or more in six of his last seven. Like you would expect from a superstar, he contributes in all areas and is a great play to build around in all formats. Klay Thompson FD - $7600 DK - $7100 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 34.93 DK - 38.69 For the most part, we have been concentrating mostly on Jordan Poole since Stephen Curry went down with a shoulder injury but it's actually Thompson who stands out for me tonight. It starts with the obvious with Klay now cheaper than Poole on both sites while showing a little more consistency in terms of his fantasy returns. It is a small sample size but it appears Klay has found his shot lately with double-digit attempts from beyond the arc in three straight while shooting nearly 40% and providing 40+ fantasy points in each. This game has the 2nd highest...

Guards Luka Doncic FD - $12400 DK - $12100 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 63.5 DK - 67.7 Are you not entertained? Luka is on an all-time run right now but for some reason has not seen his price spike back up to the $13K level which has him as the center of attention once again on Saturday. He comes in with back-to-back triple-double performances, has dropped 80 or more DraftKings points, and is averaging 60.8 FD/64.4 DK points per game since the start of December. I look for this all-time run to continue in a matchup against the Spurs who rank dead last in defence and top 10 in pace. Fire up Luka in all formats. LaMelo Ball FD - $9300 DK - $10000 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 46.29 DK - 51.33 Building around Luka can be a challenge if not enough value pops up by lock so if you happen to pivot to a more balanced build, you cannot go wrong with Ball. Since returning from injury in mid-December(nine games), he has been on another level starting with the usage as he is taking over 21 shots a game and has delivered in a big way averaging 25.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 7.9 assists per game. In that time he has tallied at least 40 DraftKings points in all nine games while topping 50 in five of his last six. Those are numbers we expect from the superstars of the game and Ball has become just that and is in play in all formats against a Nets team that struggles defending guards. Immanuel Quickley FD - $6700 DK - $5700 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 36.53 DK - 39.05 Jalen Brunson is in danger of missing a third straight game on Saturday and with RJ Barrett already ruled out, there is Knicks value once again. With Brunson out at the guard position, Quickley is the one who has taken the reigns of the offence and has gotten everything he can handle. He has played 51 and 43 minutes the last two games while taking a whopping 48 shots including 22 from beyond the arc. The shooting improved last game seeing him put up a season-high 36 points to go along with seven rebounds and seven assists for a near-60 fantasy point performance....
