What We Know Klay Thompson has been ruled out against the Nuggets Thompson is a guy who takes a ton of shots for the Warriors, that will now have to go elsewhere. Sure, his fill-in will take 3 or 4 shots but that;s not who gets the real bump. Both Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant should see a bigger usage, and at least 3 more 3-pointers each. This game has a nearly 240 over/under, and I like everyone in this game in all formats. Thaddeus Young has been ruled out Thad Young has missed about 2 weeks now and not much has changed for these Pacers. C.J. Miles and Myles Turner have seen the most shot increase, but not by much. All of these guys are tournament-only options against the Spurs, unless more news is released. Cody Zeller has been ruled out Zeller is an integral part of the Hornets interior, and thy have suffered in his absence. Frank Kaminsky is the guy who benefits most and I have interest in all formats. Marvin Williams also gains some GPP appeal against a weak 76ers frontcourt. Plumlee is not too great of a fantasy player and you can fully ignore him. Tyson Chandler is unlikely to play vs the Pelicans Chandler is the only center who has a chance of slowing Anthony Davis down on the Suns, so this could get tough. AD gets a huge first bump, and he is an elite play. Alex Len and Marquees Chriss could also see a few extra minutes and are both great tournament options. Alan Williams is a deep tournament flier. What We're Waiting to Know Wilson Chandler is officially questionable to play vs the Warriors This is huge news and will swing a lot with this slate. If Chandler does play, he is a great tournament play and has a ton of upside. If Chandler misses, they will have a lot of minutes to fill with Danilo...

DFSR's Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Monday 2/13/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie takes to an on-the-road NBA podcast to discuss a huge Monday in the NBA. There’s a ton to break down with some cheaper values already creeping to the forefront this early in the day. Some of the more relevant games include a Sixer-Charlotte affair with Nerlens Noel coming in at a great price considering Philly’s without Embiid and Okafor. On the Charlotte side you could see another start from Frank Kaminsky and Kemba Walker is coming cheap on FanDuel thanks to some recent rough shooting. The Pelicans and Suns should play in a fast-paced game with Anthony Davis (eep) as the top big money value target tonight if you can stomach the nightly injury risk. All of this and much more for a big night in the NBA. Subscribe to this podcast on...

Point Guard Kyle Lowry FD - $8700 DK - $8000 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 40.47 DK - 43.54 The NBA has blessed us with a 4 game slate, with games starting 6 hours apart. We also don't have too many terrible defenses, so the match-ups aren't as good as usual. However, there are definitely some great ways to look tonight. Lowry leads us off at point guard, facing off with the Raptors in Toronto. The Pistons have been very lackluster against point guards, giving up 45 FanDuel points per game. Reggie Jackson will have trouble with the size of Lowry and could get into early foul trouble.  Outside of Jackson, Lowry will see Ism Smith, who is one of the worst defending PG's in the league. Lowry has been one of the more consistent players in the NBA this season, and this match-up presents nothing that scares me. He should be in for another solid 38 minutes as long as the game stays close, which it is projected to. Lowry is the top point guard option in both cash games and tournaments, with a safe floor and a ceiling that can lead you to the top of a leaderboard. Ricky Rubio FD - $6600 DK - $6700 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 30.99 DK - 33.2 Rubio comes in as our mid-priced, safe option at PG. Rubio has been playing much better lately, and the loss of Zach LaVine could let some others pick up some minutes and shots. The Bulls are an absolute mess as of now, so we have no clue who will be covering him as of now. It could be MCW, Wade or Butler, yet we have no clue. We won't have to worry about Jimmy Butler, as Andrew Wiggins will be a much larger concern for him. The Bulls rank middle of the field against PG's and see no reason to be scared off tonight. Rubio has had a few rough games as of late, but was in some tough match-ups. Look for Rubio to bounce back here, and in a nice fashion. Rubio has a floor around 25 tonight with a ceiling over 40. He will be in a lot of my cash games and tournaments....

What We Know Dion Waiters has been ruled out This is a huge loss for the Heat, who need everyone they can get right now. They are on a 12 game winning streak and have a great chance to extend it against the Nets. James Johnson and Goran Dragic should see the biggest bumps, and I love both of them in all formats. Rodney McGruder could also see a bump, though I won't touch him outside of large field tournaments. Thaddeus Young has been ruled out vs the Wizards Thad has already missed a few games, and nobody has really taken advantage. Lavoy Allen had 1 good game, but 2 stinkers right after. I think it solidifies Turner's minutes, and makes him an elite cash game play. What We're Waiting to Know Zach Randolph is questionable to play against the Warriors Z-bo is a huge force for these Grizzlies, and one they really can't afford. Jamychal Green and Marc Gasol will pick up a few more minutes and shots. Both of them can be played against the Warriors. Jimmy Butler is officially questionable to play Pretty simple here. If Butler plays, the whole situation is pretty cloudy and uninteresting. If Butler is out, Wade is the guy who we have the most interest in. He should see a full allotment of minutes and has been great this year with Wade out. The "Every Lineup" Guys Paul Millsap Millsap may not be the most popular option tonight and that's a bonus. He comes in as the top guy at PF and should be in for a fantastic night against the Kings. The Kings have ranked bottom 10 against both centers and power forwards, and Millsap has done well against them in the past. The Hawks have been feeding Millsap on offense and has been producing. This game with the Kings figures to be played pretty fast, and will certainly be competitive. Some may worry about him...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/10/17 Coming off the Cavs' "The Big Guys are Sitting, no wait they're playing, no wait wait they're sitting, oh ok, they're all playing" debacle from last night, let's pray for some sanity on this big Friday in the NBA.

Point Guards John Wall FD - $10500 DK - $10400 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 48.67 DK - 51.85 The Wiz have finally come around to the realization that their best path to victory each night is to play the starters insane minutes in an effort to ensure their putrid bench doesn’t see the light of day. It’s worked and they’ve won 13 of their last 15 games which also included a brutal overtime loss to the Cavs two games ago. Sure, the schedule’s been on the easier side but it also coincides with Wall and the rest of the starters getting a lion’s share of the run. He’s in another good matchup tonight against the Pacers who allow well above average assists to opposing point guards thanks in some part to ones getting easier to the rim around the perimeter defense. Wall’s getting expensive but his implied minutes and ability to score and dish give him a fantastic floor in what should be a close game. Jrue Holiday FD - $7900 DK - $7800 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 37.71 DK - 40.66 Though this is still very much Anthony Davis’ team, Holiday is second in usage among the starters and has dramatically increased his shots per game over the short term. Over his last five games he’s averaging close to 18 looks from the field and putting up a 22/6/6 line in that time. Those are borderline elite numbers especially when you add in some of his defensive stats. He isn’t coming cheap, but I do think the production is sustainable as the Pels continue to increase his minutes. The T-Wolves are a bottom third defensive efficiency squad though are about league average against the opposing point guard. Even with the price increase on Holiday I’m fine buying here as long as we trust the minutes and usage aren’t short term outliers. Goran Dragic FD - $8100 DK - $7900 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 37.93 DK -...
