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...

Pts - 21.61 DK Proj. Pts - 24.08 Another night of NBA, another night of putting Patrick Beverley in the picks. Like we've said a million times this season (or at least in the short term) Beverley is looking at fantastic opportunity relative to his price. And with Harden's slash and kick game, he's actually getting good looks from three (something that had been missing some in the past). He's averaging about six three point attempts per game over his last three and shooting 41% from beyond the arc in that time. This should be a high-scoring game and his price is very much still a value. Mike Conley - FD 6100 DK 6000 Opponent - IND FD Proj. Pts - 29.45 DK Proj. Pts - 31.08 His price has dipped some in the short term because he's really struggled from the field. The shooting percentage has been gross over the last half month or so. If you can buy because a player might be running bad from the field, while maintaining the came opportunity, then you are in good shape. Indiana is about league average when it comes to opposing point guards scoring. If you think Conley's minutes are in the low-to-mid thirties then he's coming in at a great points/$ play. Consider Jeremy Lin if Nic Batum were to sit again. SHOOTING GUARD James Harden - FD 10700 DK 10700 Opponent - LAC FD Proj. Pts - 47.79 DK Proj. Pts - 50.34 Playing Harden is a fine move, though I have to admit I don't totally love the value as compared to his price tag. The Clippers keep opposing shooting guards well under league average scoring and have a big man down low who can at least limit or alter Harden's ability to drive to the basket. But, the issue here is shooting guard is an absolute mess. There seem to be very few legit options on this shorter slate and you could find yourself buying up some...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings and DraftPot - 12/18/15 Coming off a crazy Thursday night that saw Lebron send a woman in the first row to the hospital and Toronta call a timeout while Derozan hit a game winning shot, well let's say this Friday has a lot to live up to. (And don't worry, I'm the king of run-on sentences.) There's a lot to like about this slate with a nice range of solid values across the price spectrum.

Be sure to read our free NBA Ebook on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. POINT GUARD Jarrett Jack - FD 6400 DK 6200 Opponent - IND FD Proj. Pts - 30.9 DK Proj. Pts - 31.81 With Shane Larkin out due to a concussion, Jarrett Jack was asked to play a ton more minutes. He ran for 36 against Miami on his way to a 22/10/2 line. You could see similar minutes tonight as well against Indiana. The Pacers are actually playing at the 8th fastest pace in the league this season and have been about league average in allowing opposing points guards to score. If Jack is just going to run the point for most of the game then his price is much too low. Tyreke Evans - FD 7200 DK 7300 Opponent - PHX FD Proj. Pts - 36.26 DK Proj. Pts - 37.54 He was trash the other night against Utah, but this is the perfect time to come back in and play a guy like Tyreke. The public may be a little down on the guy because he burned a bunch of people, but one bad game does not a player make. Phoenix is another super fast squad with a low defensive efficiency. They allow 4% more scoring than league average to opposing point guards and Tyreke has his minutes set. This is a good time to buy when public opinion could be a little lower. Ricky Rubio - FD 7200 DK 7200 Opponent - SAC FD Proj. Pts - 33.76 DK Proj. Pts - 34.79 Had him as a top play against the Knicks the other night and oh did he pay. He nearly quadruple-doubled with a 9/10/12/8 (steals) line that was (I...
