Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings and DraftPot - 12/30/15 Big old Wednesday in the NBA and I think you are going to like what you see. I'd be shocked if you weren't loving some lineups you put together tonight when it's all said and done (famous last words and all).

Pts - 27.45 DK Proj. Pts - 28.28 Our system was basically shoving Ish Smith down our pts/$ throats the other night and yet I found it so very hard to trust. This is, after all, the Sixers who tend to play fast and loose with any real consistent minutes for any of their players. But there was Ish, going bananas in 32 minutes with a 22/11 line that will surely keep him in the starting lineup (right?). He feels ultra safe for his prices even on a slate with a bevy of cheap plays. Rajon Rondo - FD 7800 DK 8400 Opponent - PHI FD Proj. Pts - 37.64 DK Proj. Pts - 38.33 You are going to see a share of Kings in these picks for good reason. Philly ranks in the bottom 25% of teams in defensive efficiency this season and Sacramento will look to push the ball. Rondo and Boogie combined for 6 fouls in the first quarter against the Warriors (no easy feat) and both were buzzed off minutes before Boogie was eventually tossed. I really like Rajon for a bounce back game tonight. His price is real nice on FanDuel though DK is a bit high. If he sees minutes in the high 30's again tonight then I'd feel very comfortable with him in cash games. Isaiah Thomas - FD 8100 DK 7800 Opponent - LAL FD Proj. Pts - 37.51 DK Proj. Pts - 40.43 Even with Marcus Smart back in the lineup Thomas saw minutes in the mid 30's last game and should continue to see be a safe guy as the former is on a minutes'...

Pts - 48.15 DK Proj. Pts - 49.78 Westbrook continues to put up MVP numbers and finally has his running mate, Kevin Durant, back. Stephen Curry gets a lot of attention, but Westbrook has been off the charts good this year. He is averaging 25.5 points a game while dishing out 9 assists. There are fewer tougher matchups than Westbrook right now. The next lucky contestant to try to stop Russell will be Michael Carter-Williams who could give Westbrook some problems with his 6’6” frame. Westbrook should still put up numbers and at these prices is offering solid value on this slate. Jameer Nelson - FD 4700 DK 5600 Opponent - CLE FD Proj. Pts - 22.55 DK Proj. Pts - 24.95 Nelson has filled in admirably for Emmanuel Mudiay. Over the last 10 games Nelson has been solid, posting 11 points, 4 rebounds and nearly 6 assists a game. The former Saint Joseph's All-American should be a good play as the number 1 point guard in Denver. Nelson will likely play Matthew Dellavadova who is a solid defender but not a shutdown player. Nelson will likely not have to deal with Kyrie Irving. Expect Jameer Nelson to be productive. Reggie Jackson - FD 7500 DK 7300 Opponent - NYK FD Proj. Pts - 34.09 DK Proj. Pts - 35.35 Jackson has a had a breakout season at point guard thus far this year. He is putting up 20.2 points a game as well as dishing out 6 assists. Jackson’s success should continue against the New York Knicks. The Knicks are average against opposing point guards this season with Jose Calderon near at the bottom of efficiency rankings among opposing point guards in defensive efficiency. SHOOTING GUARD Will Barton - FD 6800 DK 6900 Opponent - CLE FD Proj. Pts - 32.39 DK Proj. Pts - 33.67 Barton’s stock continues to rise in line with his performance. His scoring averages have actually gone up as the season has continued, averaging nearly 20...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings and DraftPot - 12/23/15   The NBA wants you to rest up for their big Christmas slate so there won't be any b-ball on the 24th. That means you will have to endure more than 24 hours without basketball. So get your money in good tonight before taking a forced break. Thanks a lot holidays.

Pts - 50.23 DK Proj. Pts - 52.11 Ooh baby. The only concern is the blowout and even then I'm not totally sure I'm worried about it for Russell. The Lakers get brutalized by opposing point guards. That's because they miss a ton of shots and subsequently opposing PGs get out in transition early and often. The Lakers are also just bad on defense in general. It could be a highlight reel for Westbrook. Again though, the only concern is whether the Lakers can hang at all or the Thunder starters don't see the fourth quarter. Jameer Nelson - FD 4600 DK 5600 Opponent - PHX FD Proj. Pts - 25.81 DK Proj. Pts - 28.75 There are a ton of quality point guard options tonight for whatever price point you want. If Mudiay sits again today (and I think he sits) then Nelson comes right back as a great play. The price has climbed on DraftKings where it's a little closer. But on FanDuel (where pricing moves at a sloth-pace) you can safely run him out there if he's starting again. Tim Frazier - FD 3800 DK 3600 Opponent - NOP FD Proj. Pts - 20.56 DK Proj. Pts - 21.83 Damian Lillard is going to sit out again Wednesday and that means we should get another healthy dose of Tim Frazier. Now, we could see C.J. McCollum back in the lineup which would mean Frazier won't see the 45 minutes like last game. C.J. does some of the ball-handling in the Blazers' rotations. But Frazier should be out there a bunch again. If C.J. is out again then Frazier is a must play. As it stands he's merely...

Pts - 28.9 DK Proj. Pts - 30.44 Memphis’ Mike Conley should have success against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers have been dreadful this season, and the stats don’t lie in that regard. Currently, Philly’s performance against point guards is trending downward. Kendall Marshall and TJ McConnell split time at the point guard spot for Philadelphia which doesn't bode well for their dfensive chances. Conley has had a nice stretch of late, scoring 20 points in each of his last 2 games, and averaged 28.9 points in Fanduel and 30.44 in DraftKings. Expect him to continue his good play against the hapless Sixers. Jameer Nelson - FD 4600 DK 5400 Opponent - LAL FD Proj. Pts - 22.4 DK Proj. Pts - 24.89 Nelson is still filling in for Mudiay and getting all the minutes he'd ever nedd. The Lakers haven’t played well against anyone and that includes point guards. They are currently the worst in the league in giving up fantasy points to point guards. Nelson who had a solid 15 point performance in 37 minutes against New Orleans, could take advantage against the Lakers. Nelson has scored in double figures in each of the last 5 games. Louis Williams will likely see the most action against Nelson. Goran Dragic - FD 5800 DK 5500 Opponent - DET FD Proj. Pts - 26.16 DK Proj. Pts - 27.56 Dragic could have a tough matchup against Reggie Jackson, who is the 4th ranked point guard in the league efficiency-wise. Dragic is averaging 11.3 points which is slightly lower than his career average of 12.6. The dropoff is really noticeable concerning 3-pointers. The Yugoslav is a career .357 3-point shooter but this year is only shooting .277 from behind the arc. Dragic could have a tough time reaching his Fanduel average...

Pts - 49.55 DK Proj. Pts - 51.34 Big game, big total, big time spot for Russell. There are a couple of affairs tonight with big time projected totals and this is one of them. Westbrook's price has been dropping steadily since Durant's return, though he's proven to be fantasy adequate in this range. His issue now is he's just not as consistent a threat to hit the big time now that KD takes some of that usage down. But Westbrook should be able to put in work tonight. The Clippers have allowed above average scoring and rebounding to opposing point guards this season. I just love the price, especially on FanDuel where you can fit him easily along with a couple of other bigger guys. There are other ways to save down the positional line and the tempo of this game really should favor Russell. Isaiah Thomas - FD 8200 DK 7700 Opponent - MIN FD Proj. Pts - 37.84 DK Proj. Pts - 40.64 In the right kind of contest, Thomas has as much upside as anyone on the slate. In a run-and-gun game, dude has proven he's willing to chuck from the rafters. Brad Stevens yanks minutes around like he's sadistic, but not for Thomas who's getting most of the point guard run as a score-first one. That he'll kick in the assists as well makes him a great play against a Minnny squad allowing above average production in both categories. Pairing Thomas and Westbrook in cash games gives you a nice high floor out of the position. Strongly consider Ricky Rubio going against Boston. There is some blowout risk for both these last two guys. Keep that in mind. You can also consider Jarrett Jack but he's proven to be all over the place. SHOOTING GUARD Avery Bradley - FD 5300 DK 5500 Opponent - MIN FD Proj. Pts - 25.56 DK Proj. Pts - 27.78 Been waiting for his price to drop some before we went ahead...
