Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/17/17 It's a not-so-full Friday in the NBA but that shouldn't get us down.

Point Guards Tyler Ulis FD - $5400 DK - $5700Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 28.05 DK - 29.67 What a joke the Suns organization is by letting Bledsoe warm up last game and then last minute pulling him for the season. Tyler Ulis, or should I say "Steve Nash-lite", crushed in his first start going 8X by logging 41 minutes and putting up 13 points on 18 FGA and with 13 rebounds. He was the first Sun’s rookie to do 12 points and 12 assists in a game since Nash did it in 1996. With this said I think Ulis can smash again but I think 34 minutes and mid teens in terms of FGA is more appropriate. Tyler is no longer a sub $5k guy but even at these slightly elevated prices I think Tyler will be a fantastic yet chalky cash and GPP play. Shed a small tear for Bledsoe, move on and play Ulis! Marcus Smart FD - $6300 DK - $4900Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 31.52 DK - 33.57 NBA players are dropping like flies. Lucky for us that means great value. Usually Brad Stevens is not one to sit his players when healthy but with the Celtics playing Brooklyn tonight and the 76ers on Sunday I think the Celtics will survive without their MVP. This brings us to Marcus Smart who presumably will start and face the horrific Brooklyn squad. With one of the highest totals of the night targeting this game would be smart and as bad as the Nets are I think they can keep it close with only a 9 point o/u. I think mid thirties for minutes for Smart should be in the cards, but Smart at $6,300 on FD is definitely more of a GPP play compared to his $4,900 salary on DK which makes him both cash and GPP. Rajon Rondo FD - $5800 DK - $6500Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 29.42 DK - 31.84 With death comes life and with Dwayne Wade dying as...

There’s a ton of injury news to digest coming this early. Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Danilo Gallinari and Wilson Chandler all sitting out tonight. That’s going to open up a ton of value from that game in particular. Will Barton, Juan Hernangomez and Marreese Speights all come in as strong value plays. Additionally, Kristaps Porzingis will sit for the Knicks opening up usage considerations for Carmelo Anthony, Derrick Rose and Wily Hernangomez. All seem like solid plays against a dream matchup in the Nets. There’s plenty of other news, notes and matchups to discuss on a full NBA podcast. Subscribe to this podcast on...

What We Know DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin have been ruled out for rest purposes This comes as a bit of a surprise here, though the Clippers are on a pretty tough 2nd half of a B2B. With both DeAndre and Griffin sitting, there are a few ways to look. Mo Speights is the only big man I have interest in and I would expect him to play around 25-30 minutes. Redick and Paul should also see a bunch more shots and will be needed to win this game. Wilson Chandler and Danilo Gallinari have been ruled out against the Clippers These guys have both been hurt all season, so this is no surprise to see them out here. With Mike Miller being the only other SF on the active roster, the minutes will have to come from elsewhere. Will Barton and Juancho Hernangomez are the guys who get the biggest bump for me. Both are terrific plays in both cash games and tournaments. Jamal Murray could also get some run at the 2 if they go small and he can always get hot. Jokic is always great. You just have to weigh out his price. What we're waiting to know Kristaps Porzingis is officially doubtful against the Nets POrzingis found a way to get hurt again so it looks like he will miss at least 1 more game this season. Luckily, it's against the Nets, so we should be able to take advantage. Hernangomez is one of the top options n the slate and we will get to him later. Kyle O'Quinn and Lance Thomas could also pick up a few minutes but I don't have any interest outside of tournaments. Update: Kristaps is out The "Every Lineup" Guys Chris Paul CP3 is a guy who will need to step up in a huge way tonight. With DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin being ruled out, you can expect Paul to put the load on...

Point Guard Chris Paul FD - $9800 DK - $8800 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 46.93 DK - 49.27 Chris Paul and the Clips played the Bucks last night in what ended up being a very close game. They come right back tonight and face the Nuggets, who are a very similar team. Jameer Nelson and Jamal Murray will have the responsibility of covering Paul and they won't have much success. The Nuggets have ranked 24th in the league against PG's, allowing nearly 48 FP per game. Paul is still a bit under-owned in my opinion, as I think he is just as good of a DFS player as Stephen Curry, who is cheaper on both sites. Paul should be sitting around $10k on both sites and I absolutely love him on DK at just $8.8k. Paul should see around 35 minutes and hs been one of the most consistent players in the league this season when healthy. He looks to be at full health and the Clippers won't hesitate to push him for big minutes in a close game. With a floor of 40 and a ceiling of 65, I will have exposure everywhere. Derrick Rose FD - $6800 DK - $6700 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 33.89 DK - 35.85 Jeremy Lin FD - $5900 DK - $6000 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 28.81 DK - 30.7 Lin and Rose are probably 2 of the last players anyone would of thought would be playing the way they are recently. They have both been absolutely tremendous, consistently hitting 30 with a few flashes of upside. They will face off with each other tonight in what figures to be a pretty high-scoring affair. Rose is a bit more expensive and it makes sense as he's ben a bit more consistent and has been seeing more minutes. For that reason, I prefer him in cash games. Lin on the other hand, is a guy I have a ton of tournament exposure to. He has a ton of upside and has been hitting cash game value in less than 30 minutes. He will continue to see more run and his price will slowly rise. Make sure to take advantage before his...

What We Know Nicolas Batum has been ruled out with a migraine Batum missed last game, which resulted in Jeremy Lamb being about 70% owned in cash games. He will be in a similar spot tonight and once again makes for a tremendous cash and tournament play. The Pacers are a weak match-up for shooting guards and Lamb should have another solid night. Kemba could also pick up a few extra shots. LaMarcus Aldridge has been cleared to play This definitely hurts David Lee and Pau Gasol a lot. Aldridge will likely see around 20 minutes tonight, but those minutes are extremely precious when all of these guys are fighting for so few. I will likely ignore this interior as a whole on this slate. What we're waiting to know Wesley Matthews is a GTD against the Wizards Matthews has been on and off the injury report a ton lately, so this is really no surprise. Seth Curry got a huge bump last time Wes was out, seeing over 35 minutes and taking a ton of shots. Manny Harris was also recalled from the D-League but I doubt he sees more than 10 minutes. The PG situation in San Antonio Dejounte Murray has been ruled out and Tony Parker is officially questionable. With such a good match-up against the Blazers, you have to take a long look at Patty Mills. If Parker sits, Mills is basically a must play in cash games. If Parker plays, I still think he's an interesting tournament option. Parker could very well see 15 minutes and hit the bench. The "Every Lineup" Guys Jeremy Lamb This one is pretty cut and dry. With Nicolas Batum out, Jeremy Lamb is an easy plug and play. He sees plenty of usage on the offense and is also not scared to run point guard for a possession or two while Kemba rests. The match-up is prime as Monta Ellis is one of the...
