Pts - 40.2 DK Proj. Pts - 42.71 There's a lot to like about Kyle Lowry's overall game. He is currently averaging 20.7 points per game, 2.9 three-pointers per game, 6.2 assists per game and 4.8 rebounds per game, while shooting almost 90% from the line (88%). Now, he may not have a Usage ranking that's in the top 20 (ranks 25th with 26.3, tied with Zach LaVine) and his team's Pace Factor is one of the worst in the league (97), but he faces a Denver team next that ranks as the third worst team in the league on FanDuel and is the fourth worst team in the league on DraftKings in fantasy points allowed against opponents' point guards (44.4 on FanDuel and 53.9 on DraftKings). The pluses highly outweigh the minuses here. Isaiah Thomas - FD 7300 DK 7500 Opponent - SAC FD Proj. Pts - 35.15 DK Proj. Pts - 37.56 Isaiah Thomas' team has the fifth best Pace Factor in the league right now (102.4) and you really have to consider the fact that he is one of the only (if not the only) point guards in all of DFS that scores as much as he does with regularity (20.8 points per game) and who comes in at a price tag in the $7,500 and under range. His scoring ability should play a huge role in his matchup against the Kings next, because Sacramento ranks as the eighth worst team in the league (in both FanDuel and DraftKings) in fantasy points allowed against opponents' point guards. Tony Parker - FD 5500 DK 5300 Opponent - MEM FD Proj. Pts - 26.63 DK Proj. Pts - 27.38 In this spot, you're clearly going with Tony Parker for two primary reasons. The price and decent chance of...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings and DraftPot - 12/2/15 After James got much love on his opening blurb yesterday, I'm worried about a little performance anxiety here. Like a shooter who has too long to look at the wide open corner three, I'm concerned about letting everyone down with a brick. And yet I jack one up anyway. Today's an interesting one in the NBA with a ton of cheap guys looking at the potential for big minutes and the Sixers starting their first chance at a two game winning streak. Does this mean the Warriors stop their run as well seeing as how their fate is completely unrelated to Philly? Big Wednesday indeed. Today is going to be a stars and scrubs approach almost for certain. There are simply too many cheap dudes out there and actually the bigger issue seems to be a lack of big money talent I feel totally comfortable putting big money in on.

Pts - 22.09 DK Proj. Pts - 25.29 A much better deal on FanDuel than on DraftKings, but probably still in play there all things considered. Canaan is one of those decent minutes-limited upside guys because if he isn't scoring then you are in for a whole lot of nothing happening on the court. He can hit the three and isn't afraid to take them as he's averaging about eight three point attempts a game over the short term. That's a ton and you can catch him on the right now. For the price on FanDuel I like some of the upside as long as he sticks in the starting lineup which is no sure thing with the Sixers. Patrick Beverley - FD 3700 DK 4100 Opponent - NOP FD Proj. Pts - 21.51 DK Proj. Pts - 24.47 He's rather quietly entered the starting lineup for the mess that are the Rockets and been really good for these prices. Now that Lawson is completely out of favor with the organization, Beverley is back into the starting role and averaging just enough production to warrant a...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings and DraftPot - 11/30/15 Another football Sunday is over which means basketball doesn't need to take a backseat again.

Be sure to read our free NBA Ebook on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. POINT GUARD Rajon Rondo - FD 8300 DK 9000 Opponent - DAL FD Proj. Pts - 40.69 DK Proj. Pts - 41.47 The minutes weren't there against the Warriors because no team's starters ever get their minutes against the Warriors. Because said teams are typically getting crushed. Expect to see Rondo back up there logging run against the Mavericks tonight. Even with Collison back the Kings are devoid of many ballhandlers and need Rondo out there for extended stretches. I think I'd prefer Rondo more if Cousins were back in the lineup simply because he makes the Kings a much better team and Rondo can run the pick and roll to death with Boogie. But I'll take Rajon either way because few other players have his kind of minutes upside. Isaiah Thomas - FD 7300 DK 7600 Opponent - MIA FD Proj. Pts - 34.09 DK Proj. Pts - 36.01 With Marcus Smart out, Thomas has taken over the point guard duties with the first unit and is playing minutes when the game stays close. I can't imagine either team running away with this one. And though the Heat area a slower team who defend the point guard well, the price for Thomas simply hasn't risen much because the Celts have been in some lopsided games. That's buzzed off his minutes. It shouldn't happen here and I expect a solid performance. Russell Westbrook - FD 11000 DK 10600 Opponent - ATL FD Proj. Pts - 50.02 DK Proj. Pts - 51.54 To say he laid an egg the other night (as compared to his typical performance) is an insult to really productive egg-laying animals everywhere (perfect comparison). Westbrook double-doubled with a 14/11 (turnovers) line that you simply won't see from him, well really ever. While having Durant back for sure cuts into Westbrook's overall usage, we don't need to see them on the court as mutually exclusive fantasy upside ideas. They are more than capable inhabiting the...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings and DraftPot - 11/27/15 Here's to hoping everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving and didn't collapse into themselves like a dying star because there was no NBA. But not to worry, it's back for a packed Friday. Completely full slate and a lot to break down.

Pts - 51.69 DK Proj. Pts - 53.42 The tough thing about Westbrook is the price. But the other tough thing is rooting against him on any given night. Those two thoughts meet somewhere in the middle here. I understand that with Durant back, Westbrook's usage takes a dip as he's rocking a 42 usage with Durant off the floor, 33 with KD on. But that latter number still leads the team and Westbrook showcased against Brooklyn how he and Durant's big games aren't mutually exclusive. Detroit is league average defending opposing point guards so I don't expect a shut down performance. With big slates like this, there are typically enough punt plays to not sweat getting Russell into lineups. Rajon Rondo - FD 8400 DK 9300 Opponent - MIN FD Proj. Pts - 42.68 DK Proj. Pts - 43.56 Minutes, minutes and more minutes. Rondo has been an iron man for the Kings this season, playing about 40 or more minutes in nine of the last ten games. No other player in the NBA gets this kind of run, and there's little reason to believe it somehow abates in the short term. The Kings need him out there. He's benefited from having Boogie for sure, but can still put up numbers when the big guy is off the court. The T-Wolves play at a fast pace and allow tons of points to opposing point guards. Rondo is a top play for any price tier. Ricky Rubio - FD 7100 DK 6900 Opponent - SAC FD Proj. Pts - 32.69 DK Proj. Pts - 33.66 Opposing Rondo will be Rubio who stands to see a quality line in this one. The Kings are playing at the fastest pace in the league this season and that kind of...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings and DraftPot - 11/25/15 It's Thanksgiving week! Whether you're trying to choose what dish to bring to Grandma's, which bar to go to on Wednesday night, or just hoping to make it through Thursday without burning any bridges, one thing will remain constant for you - daily fantasy NBA basketball!

Be sure to read our free NBA Ebook on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. POINT GUARD Brandon Knight - FD 7900 DK 8200 Opponent - NOP FD Proj. Pts - 35.65 DK Proj. Pts - 38.14 I would like him even more if Eric Bledsoe were to sit again, but even with Suns at full strength, this is a fine play. Knight is averaging almost 18 shots per game this season which is among the most in the league. But there's no denying he's been a feast or famine dude through and through. He has a couple of spectacular performances, but has some real stinkers thrown in there as well. The good news here is the Pelicans are about the worst in the league at defending opposing point guards. They don't have a lot of stability at the position to begin with and are getting shredded on the defensive end. I don't like point guard as a whole tonight, and it can feel weird paying this much for night. But I think he's worth it. Rajon Rondo - FD 8400 DK 9300 Opponent - MIL FD Proj. Pts - 36.72 DK Proj. Pts - 37.38 He's expensive, but my god the lines this dude has been putting up are just ridiculous. He's playing minutes in the 40's which on it's own is crazy. He dished out 20 assists in an overtime game against Charlotte and could be looking at a big line tonight as well. He's hurt some without Boogie in there, but it probably only means the Kings will need him on the court the whole game, which could even things out. Rondo is another guy who's seen a big time price jump, but it's warranted and as long as the Kings keep it close...
