We've got you completely covered. What We Know Trevor Ariza is expected to start against the Mavericks tonight Ariza was active last game, but didn't play a minute. Prior, he played 39 and 33 minutes. The coaching staff has already said it was for precautionary reasons on the second leg of a back to back. He should be right back to his full complement of minutes and this match-up is solid. He's been playing bigger minutes since the trade rumors and the Suns may be showing the league the asset they have. I actually like him a lot against a Mavs team that is susceptible on the perimeter. He's cheap enough in all formats. Brandon Knight is expected to return tonight against the Lakers This is a lot bigger news to me than I think most are taking it. I personally think Brandon Knight is going to play a big role in the Rockets catching their footing. He gives them a legitimate scorer and ball-handler off the bench that can play 25-30 minutes and put up a fantasy point per minute. In his first game back, I doubt he gets more than 20-25 minutes. If he does get 20 minutes, he's at least interesting at minimum price. Gerald Green and Danuel House should lose a few minutes. Dirk Nowitzki will play for the first time this season against the Suns tonight Who knows, maybe he comes out and plays 25 minutes. I doubt it. I more so expect 15 or so minutes, which nowhere near enough when he's not even close to minimum. I don't have interest in any of these Mavericks bigs tonight, including Dirk. What We're Waiting to Know Dennis Smith Jr., J.J. Barea, and Maxi Kleber are all questionable to play against the Suns This game starts at 10:30 on the west coast, so we probably won't know what's going on until well after lock. With Dirk Nowitzki expecting to make his return tonight, I don't see much opportunity with any of the big men. As for Barea and DSJ, I'll stay away if either of them play. If both are out, Jalen Brunson will get a ton of run and be in play in all formats. Wesley Matthews would also be in line to receive...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know John Wall is probable to return tonight against the Celtics Things have been pretty weird in Washington with Wall. He's missed two of the last three games and played just 26 minutes in the game he did participate in. With that being said, he's supposedly good to go tonight. If he's a full go, he's at least interesting against Kyrie and the Celtics. If Wall happens to miss, it'll be Satoransky and Beal that benefit most. Tristan Thompson has been ruled out for 2-4 weeks This is a tough one for a Cavs team that just doesn't do much or have much at this point. Larry Nance Jr. is always a guy we pay attention to, but hasn't been playing huge minutes lately. With this news, it's safe to project him for 32+ minutes and 30+ fantasy points. Ante Zizic will also pick up some minutes, and he could easily see 20, but its tough to trust a guy that's been a DNP-CD. He's a tournament play at best. With Nance moving to the 5, Blossomgame could also pick up some minutes if the Cavs go small. All in all, Nance is the easy play and everyone else comes with risk. Maurice Harkless will rest against the Grizzlies Harkless doesn't do much from a fantasy perspective, but he plays a solid amount of minutes. His 25-30 minutes will go to Jake Layman and Evan Turner. Turner is the safe choice and should pick up 30 minutes. Layman is a bit more uncertain, but he's close to minimum priced and could get up to 25 minutes. He's solid when on the floor and has upside at minimum price. What We're Waiting to Know Jimmy Butler is doubtful to play against the Nets All signs are pointing towards Butler taking the night off. This does a lot for the Sixers. Butler obviously takes up a ton of usage, so Simmons and Embiid will ba back to their normal role. I especially think Embiid will shoot a ton. J.J. Redick will also cement his minutes and will always be in play for cash games. Opportunity-wise, Furkan Korkmaz will be the ultimate guy to benefit. He's a solid fantasy point per minute player and could...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Hassan Whiteside, Devin Booker, Dwight Howard, Brandon Ingram, Dennis Smith Jr. are out These are guys who have been out for a few days or more. We know exactly what to do. If you have any questions, comment down below and I'll get to you immediately! Blake Griffin will sit out for rest purposes against the Sixers They say he's just resting, but he had a big collision with AD last night and is on the second leg of a back to back. I would assume he's not fully 100%. In his absence, there will be a ton to look at. Minutes-wise, Stanley Johnson (if cleared to play) and Jon Leuer will get big bumps. Andre Drummond will also have his minutes cemented over 30. On the usage end, Drummond and RJax are the easy picks. Jackson is one of my favorite plays on the night at his price and I'll have close to 100% of him. Kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward, Al Horford, and Aron Baynes will all sit out against the Pelicans A ton of news here. Especially against a Pelicans squad that plays fast and will likely be missing their best defender. Terry Rozier and Marcus Smart are the obvious picks, who will both grab 30+ minutes and easily reach value. Jaylen Brown, Marcus Morris, Daniel Theis, and Jayson Tatum are all elite plays and I'm fine with any of them in cash games or tournaments. There isn't a wrong way to go on this Celtics squad tonight. John Wall is out with a bone spur in his left heel We learned that Wall was sick last game and was absolutely terrible. He probably played the worst game of his career. He'll take a game off here and we know what to do. Satoransky picked up 38 minutes with Wall out last time and almost got to 40 fantasy points. Brad Beal also played 41 minutes and saw a huge usage bump. He put up 55 fantasy points and now sees an even better match-up against the Pacers. The rest of the starters will also pick up some usage, but Beal and Satoransky are the two main appeals. What We're Waiting to Know Anthony Davis is questionable to play...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 11/11/18 Welcome back for another Sunday of NBA basketball! We lose a high value Detroit/Charlotte game off the main slate, but there should still be enough value to sneak by on the main. It should be a much more sane day than the crazy trade-deadline Saturday we're still recovering from, but sanity does not always equal value. Let's see where we can find some action, shall we?

Point Guard Eric Bledsoe FD - $6800 DK - $6000Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 33.48 DK - 33.22 Jamal Murray FD - $7500 DK - $6900Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 33.26 DK - 34.53 First things first - point guard (and maybe this entire slate) is kind of a beating tonight. You've got some too-expensive options (Paul, Kyrie, Lillard), and a lot of teams that run a point-guard-by-committee (too many to name). That leaves us with two solid point guards in not-so-great match-ups with one another. Both Milwaukee and Denver are dramatically worse match-ups than they were last season, ranking 3rd and 4th respectively in defensive efficiency. These two point guards have also suffered from minutes that seem to fluctuate greatly based on the game script. But that's actually why I kind of like them. Murray can play high 30s-low 40s minutes in close games, and Bledsoe can get up into the 30s. This should be one of the more competitive games on the slate, and I think this gives both players a much higher floor than a lot of their counterparts on the slate. Darren Collison FD - $4600 DK - $4400Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 25.8 DK - 25.56 I don't think I've ever felt excited to play Darren Collison, but this slate might just call for it. With some excellent expensive options at small forward, we may just have the incentive to go as cheap as possible in order to enable playing both. Collison's production can come and go, but coming off of one of his best games of the season one has to think the default will be to give him high 20s-low 30s minutes for tonight's game. Don't get too carried away projecting Collison for too much minutes growth, though -...

We have a full slate of NBA to couple with a day of college football. If you played NBA DFS last year, you know an injury to Curry isn’t the worst thing that can happen to this offense (from a DFS POV). For one, the studs will get more attention. With Green also out, it’s going to run a lot of shots through Thompson and KD. You then get Quinn Cook as a replacement, who’s always averaged over 1 FP per minute in the NBA. He’s back to his norm in his last two games and should produce given the minutes. The Nets have a terrible defensive efficiency and D-Russ isn’t much of a perimeter defender. Cook will take a step back for the superstars, but will still find a way to shoot 10+ times and grab 30 fantasy points. The price is extremely fair on both sites and Cook is close to a must in my cash games. De'Aaron Fox FD - $7400 DK - $7100 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 30.45 DK - 31.25 This is a game we’re going to be all over. An opening over/under of 240 is absolutely insane and something we have to take advantage of. The Lakers and Kings are both extremely fast-paced offenses and neither play much defense. As for De’Aaron Fox, he’s been seeing a consistent 35+ minutes. While the production is a bit up and down, the Lakers rank 24th against opposing PG’s and Fox won’t have much trouble running the floor here. He'll match-up with Rajon Rondo for most of the game, who is not a good defender at all. The Lakers are one of the worst defenses in all of basketball and Vegas doesn't think that changes in the slightest tonight. The floor is 30 with a ceiling that were not aware of yet. Rajon Rondo FD - $5600 DK - $5100 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 26.18 DK - 26.96 We’ll stay right in Sacramento and take a look at Rajon Rondo. He...
