DFSR's Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Wednesday 3/15/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie takes to solo NBA discussing a full Wednesday in the Association. The big story tonight is fading the blowout. Teams like the Spurs and Rockets are in very solid matchups, but come in with big Vegas lines on their sides. We’ll have to make some decisions about whether we think those starters see the fourth quarters in their respective games. Other pieces of news out there include Nic Batum sitting again making Jeremy Lamb likely a popular play again and Kemba Walker seeing a solid boost in expected usage. Then there’s the teams trying to tank like the Lakers, Suns, Kings and how we determine their projected player minutes. All that and more. *Update: Lamarcus Aldridge is cleared to play which renders some of the discussion on the Spurs Subscribe to this podcast on...

We've got you completely covered. Lakers @ Rockets - We could fill this write up with picks from this game. The truth is this game is extremely unpredictable and it could go a ton of different ways. With the Rockets being favored by 17, I wouldn't be surprised to see an early blowout. However, if the Lakers keep it close we should see some huge DFS performances. Clarkson and Randle are my favorite two Lakers with Harden and Capela my favorite Rockets. Ivica Zubac has also been great lately and could be in play once again. Point Guard Patrick Mills FD - $4400 DK - $5300 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 27.32 DK - 29.66 Both Tony Parker and Dejounte Murray are questionable with injuries, which could lead to Mills being close to a must play. Parker and Murray were both out last game, which turned into a fantastic game for Mills, finishing with 15 points, 9 assists, and 35 fantasy points. This pick is contingent on these guys being out, so make sure to keep an eye out for the news article later in the day. If Parker and Murray do sit, Mills becomes one of the better options on the slate. Damian Lillard and the Blazers have been horrible against PG's, allowing over 48 fantasy points per game to the position. Mills is a guy Popovich has full trust in and he won't really have a chance, mostly due to Bryn Forbes just not being good enough to get substantial minutes at point guard against Damian Lillard. Mills is also a pretty good PG defender, so I could see him matching up with Lillard down the stretch. As a wrap, if Parker and Murray are ruled out, Mills is great everywhere. Update: Tony Parker is now questionable which could put Mills out of the value arena Mike Conley FD - $8000 DK - $7600 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 38.02 DK - 40.35 Conley isn't the most exciting PG in the league, but he surely gets it done. Conley has typically sat around 40 FP as of late, with a few games over and a few under. The match-up with the Bulls is a great one for Conley as they just don't have anyone to match...

Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/14/17 Welcome to the daily updates and injury news article. We'll try and update it right up to line-up locks with as much information as comes across our desks. Let's get to it!

What We Know With Robert Covington being upgraded to probable, there isn't much injury news on the day. Dante Cunningham is the only guy questionable and he isn't a guy who makes much of an impact. All games will be played that are in question due to the stroms This is just a go ahead on the east coast games. They looked to be in jeopardy earlier in the day but are good to go now. Warriors starters will play after resting last game Curry, Thompson, and Draymond Green all rested against the Spurs. They will be back in full force tonight and ready to start another win streak. The "Every Lineup" Guys DeMarcus Cousins Cousins is one of my favorite options on the board tonight in what figures to be a very fast-paced game. Cousins and Davis will both be popular tonight, but I think Cousins comes in a bit lower-owned and there are some options that I like at PF. In turn, Cousins is who we prefer here in both cash and tourneys. He will face off with Jusuf Nurkic, who is far too slow and unathletic to stay with Boogie. While Nurkic has hightened the Portland interior defense, they are still one of the worst interiors in the game. Victor Oladipo Oladipo may not be the elusive scorer that Westbrook is or anywhere near the rebounder,r but he's been getting it done. With Westbrook insanely expensive (albeit a fantastic play), you may want some cheaper exposure. Oladipo certainly gives you that at under $6.5k on both sites. The Nets are one of the absolute best match-ups in the league from SG's as they have given up over 41 FP per game to the respective position. Oladipo is a quality play in all formats.

DFSR's Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Tuesday 3/14/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take a look at a five game schedule in the NBA. The major piece of news we’ll be waiting on today is how weather could effect the games in Brooklyn and New York. With a snowstorm there we could see these games postponed. Stay tuned for that news. Outside of that major waiting game, there’s solid value on this slate. If everything goes off without a hitch then you likely see Russell Westbrook and Victor Oladipo chalk plays against a defensively-deficient Brooklyn squad. Subscribe to this podcast on...
Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings – 3/13/17
Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/13/17 Welcome to the daily updates and injury news article. We'll try and update it right up to line-up locks with as much information as comes across our desks. Let's get to it! Last night's picks can be found here, so you can wrap your mind around what you need to be looking at before lineups lock tonight. By the way - we keep our projection system updated with all of the changes as they occur throughout the day right up until lineup lock. Every day. If you want access to that system so you can cut out a lot of the research element, click the button below! START YOUR FREE TRIAL! What We Know LaMarcus Aldridge, Tony Parker, and Dejounte Murray have been ruled out against the Hawks Aldridge and Parker both play huge roles on this offense, so their absence leaves a lot to be picked up. Dejounte Murray is also the backup of Parker, so they will be short at PG. Patty Mills is one of the top plays on this slate and we will touch on him later. With Leonard also questionable, the Spurs as a whole may be very short-handed. David Lee and Dewayne Dedmon are both in play with Lee being the much better option. What We're Waiting to Know Kawhi leonard is currently listed as questionable With 3 players already out for the Spurs, they will be very reliant on Leonard if he plays. For that reason, I do like him in tournaments if he's active. If he misses like expected, Kyle Anderson, David Lee, and Patty Mills all get a bump. They will each pick up a few extra minutes and have a much higher usage. Lee and Mills are cash game options while Anderson is a guy I will only have in tournaments. Rudy Gobert went through shootaround and is listed as questionable Gobert missed last game against the Thunder, resulting in a whole lot of nothing. With Withey struggling, the Jazz spread the minutes around to Withey, Bolomboy, and Trey Lyles. Withey has a little bit of upside in this match-up as he will be needed to match the size of DeAndre Jordan. He did play extremely well last season with Rudy Gobert out for a couple of months. Wilson Chandler and Jameer Nelson are questionable to play vs the Lakers Both Chandler and Nelson play big roles on this team and r equally valuable at their positions. If Nelson gets ruled out, you almost have to play Jamal Murray. They have been getting him more minutes and you can hypothetically lock him in for 35 if...
