DFSR's Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Tuesday 3/7/17 The DFSR crew of Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the pod to discuss the three-game slate of NBA action. For only three games there’s a lot to consider with a couple of really high Vegas totals. They start the discussion with Russell Westbrook and how highly owned he is even at more than $13000 on both sites. Then they break down the Trailblazers situation coming off the postponement from last night. The Mavs are in a great spot against the fast-paced, no defense LA Lakers with really all of the starters in play for cash games. And finally they go in depth on the state of the Phoenix Suns and how much you can trust guys like Alan Williams and Tyler Ullis coming off the bench. Subscribe to this podcast on...

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.

What We Know Dwyane Wade has been ruled out against the Pistons Wade has been playing about 32 minutes lately, which should open up some substantial value. First, Jimmy Butler becomes an elite play. Although the Pistons are tough on defense, Butler will see a huge usage and be forced to run the offense for close to 38 minutes. Outside of Butler, it really is a crapshoot. With Rondo already questionable, we could see some extended run for Valentine or Grant. We could also see Anthony Morrow or Isaiah Canaan get 25 minutes. This Bulls team is a stay away for me outside of Butler. Frank Kaminsky will remain out 10-14 days Kaminsky has been one of the only real positives for the Hornets lately, who haven't been shooting all too well. This will force Marvin Williams and Cody Zeller to both play big minutes. Williams is my favorite of the two and we will touch on him later. MKG could also see some minutes at the 4 and becomes an interesting cash game option. I will stay away from Zeller until he is off of his appointed minutes restriction. What We're Waiting to Know Nikola Jokic is questionable to play with an illness This one burns, as Jokic was a really interesting tournament option heading into the night. As a guy who already sees spotty minutes, this gets me completely off him. If Jokic plays, I will avoid the squad as a whole. If Jokic is announced out, Juan Hernangomez is an absolute must play. With Kenneth Faried already ruled out, you can expect Hernangomez to see at least 28 minutes if Jokic misses. Plumlee would also pick up substantial minutes and becomes a very strong play. Nikola Vucevic is considered questionable against the Knicks Vuc missed just last night, so don't expect him to come back tonight. Bismack Biyombo immediately took over and produced a ton. He has always done so when given...

DFSR's Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Monday 3/6/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie returns to the podcast to discuss a huge Monday in the NBA. There are 12 games on the slate and it’s already looking like value all around for both FanDuel and DraftKings. He goes game-by-game discussing the different cash options and how some injury pieces will possibly effect the value in different players. Some of the more interesting games include the Knicks and Magic with the latter finally seeing more consistent minutes from their starters. Vucevic sitting again would also open the door for Bismarck Biyombo to put up major minutes on the very cheap. Another game to target is the 76ers and Bucks with guys like Dario Saric, Richaun Holmes, Khris Middleton and Malcolm Brogdon looking like values. Finally, the Rockets and Spurs should be a fun one to watch and we could see big minutes out of Kawhi, Harden, Aldridge and Gasol to name a few. All of that and more for a full Wednesday in the NBA.

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/6/17 Well it's a huge Monday slate, and after a strong weekend for the line-up optimizer, there are a ton of great value plays to start the week. The big decision will actually come down to where we want to spend up. There are value plays for miles (that I'll spell out below), but it might wind up being tough to figure out which of them to prioritize. Let's see if we can't un-muddy the waters a bit.

Point Guard Mike Conley FD - $7800 DK - $8100 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 40.6 DK - 42.9 With so much value flying around tonight, I'm starting to think that point guard is a good place to invest a little bit more of your salary. Instead of going super high end, though, I'm taking a hard look at Mike Conley. Brooklyn combines playing the fastest pace in the league with the league's worst defense, and that predictably this has caused them to yield the most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards. For his part, Conley has been a rock solid value on these prices recently, averaging 5.4x points per dollar in his last 4 contests (in admittedly good match-ups). No sweat about his weak schedule recently for this one - this is a dream match-up and a dream spot to play Conley in all formats. Derrick Rose FD - $6500 DK - $6300 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 32.68 DK - 34.54 He's certainly no Conley, but Rose provides some excellent consistency and value on his price as well. Like Conley, he's topped 5x points per dollar in each of his last 4 games. We also have the additional information of how he's done against Orlando specifically, putting together a solid 19/7/4 against them in spite of playing the fewest minutes he's played in any of his recent games. It's no fluke, either. The Magic have allowed the 5th most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards this season. Starting your cash games with Conley and Rose looks phenomenal, and just writing it up has me excited for the value on this slate. Ty Lawson FD - $4600 DK - $4600 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 29.01 DK...

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with NBA? Be sure to read our free NBA Ebook on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Jrue Holiday FD - $7700 DK - $7400 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 36.77 DK - 39.86 Holiday was expected to see a dip in production with DeMarcus Cousins joining the team. Instead, he has played well with Cousins and has been able to put up 30+ in 3 of his last 4. It looks like he may not shoot the ball quite as much, but will still have the ball in his hands a lot and get enough shots to make it worth the while. The Lakers are one of the worst teams in the league against point guards, allowing over 46 fantasy points per game, which ranks 2nd worst in the league behind just the Suns. D'Angelo Russell has been absolutely atrocious on defense and that won't change until at least next season. Holiday will eat up this defense with pick n rolls, using both Cousins and Davis to create space and attack the rim. Holiday will have a great opportunity to come through at a modest price tag in a match-up that provides a ton of upside. He's also extremely safe with a floor around 30 due to his locked minutes and forced usage. Holiday is a fantastic option in both formats on all sites. D'Angelo Russell FD - $6400 DK - $7100 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 33.92 DK - 36.8 The Pelicans are one of the teams we will spend a lot of salary on tonight, though the same can't be said for their opponent in the LA Lakers. Russell is the only guard I have interest in on this team, as both Nick Young and Jordan Clarkson have been horrible and have ben getting inconsistent minutes. Russell has taken the guard responsibilities on his shoulders, topping 25 fantasy points in 5 straight contests. Russell also hit 35 in 3 of those 5 games, destroying tournament value. He gets a match-up with the Pelicans, who rank 21st in the league against PG's and gives up close to 44 FP a night. Russell should have plenty of success against Holiday, who has been very lackluster individually on defense. Russell is definitely a lot riskier than we would like to admit, as he can have a 10...
