Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/6/16 March madness is here! Ish. Doesn't it seem like March Madness starts later every year? Isn't March supposed to be a static month - starting around the same time as compared to the first day of the year each year? Are we going to be stuck in sports Hell for much longer, painstakingly going through the motions of basketball as a stand-alone (sorry, Durrell and the NHL crowd) until March Madness and baseball get here? Ah well. At least we can make a bunch of money playing daily fantasy sports. Might as well get to it.

There's so much uncertainty at basically every position today thanks to a host of factors that we'll get to piece by piece. We'll start with a point guard quagmire. Fun! Russell Westbrook - FD 10700 DK 10800 Opponent - MIL FD Proj. Pts - 48.91 DK Proj. Pts - 50.58 If you want safety for big bucks today, I'm thinking that looks like Sr. Westbrook. I won't play Curry in cash games, Harden is probably overpriced for bad match-ups (though I wouldn't be surprised to see him in some optimal lineups because of weird pricing things today), and on a short-ish slate, we're running out of options fast. Westbrook, meanwhile, is a beacon of consistency. He hasn't scored fewer than 40 fantasy points since January 22nd, and has plenty of big upside games sprinkled in along the way thanks to his permanent triple-double threatening. Milwaukee is about a league average match-up normally, but extended run against Jerryd Bayless makes this a sweeter proposition than usual. I think Westbrook is great in any format. Deron Williams - FD 5600 DK 5600 Opponent - DEN FD Proj. Pts - 27.61 DK Proj. Pts - 29.63 Emmanuel Mudiay - FD 5800 DK 5700 Opponent - DAL FD Proj. Pts...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/1/16 Welcome to March! I'm writing these picks as of 9 PM EST on the previous night, and I dare say everything is going terrific in the world of DFSR daily fantasy basketball! All of that could change on a dime, of course, but that's why we love DFS. Tonight's very interesting. We have 3 awful defenses (LAL, BKN, PHO), and a total lack of big money stars outside of Steph Curry. Given that it's been the year of stars and scrubs, I'm sort of curious as to how optimal lineups will shake out. Let's dive into the night and see what's coming together.

A quick heads up - we post an updates article every day in the early afternoon, EST, to catch everyone up on how things are changing as a result of whatever news has come through. We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! We've also launched a Stats and Research Page, which includes a lot of the individual statistics that we use to make our projections. It's free! Enjoy, POINT GUARD Goran Dragic - FD 6300 DK 6500 Opponent - CHI FD Proj. Pts - 28.88 DK Proj. Pts - 30.41 The arrival of Joe Johnson in Miami has muddied the waters to some degree, but you have to realize - the Heat played a playoff-esque 8 man rotation in his debut. Dragic played 33 minutes in that game, in spite of it being a blowout. He sure looks safe from where I'm standing. Goran's been on a tear since the All-Star break, topping 40 fantasy points in 3 games while paying no less than 4x points per dollar in any of them. And this is a terrific match-up with the Bulls. They've allowed the 5th most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards this season, and they'll feature either an out of position E'Twaun Moore or a hobbled Derrick Rose. Dragic seems like the safest points per dollar guy on the board. Donald Sloan - FD...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/20/16 Happy Saturday! I have a little post traumatic stress thing going from trying to figure out how the trade deadline was going to impact last night's games, but thankfully there isn't quite as much to worry about today. After a 14 game Friday, we get a nice 4 gamer to catch our breath. You ready? Let's get it on.

We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! POINT GUARD Chris Paul - FD 10000 DK 9400 Opponent - GSW FD Proj. Pts - 46.15 DK Proj. Pts - 48.08 The battle of the high priced point guards ought to be an intense one today, and it should give us a sense as to whether the Clips actually miss Blake Griffin or what. They've played the Dubs tough in their two meetings this year, which is a lot more than most can say, and a lot of that has been due to the efforts of CP3. Golden State has been a league average match-up for point guards, but this is a special case since Paul will A) have a chance to stay in the game and B) will have something to prove, as always, against Curry. This isn't to say I mind Steph today - he's also a good play. It's just that Paul is cheaper, and his team has so few other options. Paul still leads the NBA in time of possession in 2016 (thanks, SportVU data), and his floor just seems higher. Goran Dragic - FD 5600 DK 5700 Opponent - WAS FD Proj. Pts - 27.89 DK Proj. Pts - 29.44 This one comes with a little bit of an asterisk. Dragic flies up this list as a clear must play if Dwyane Wade misses another game - he's had the ball in his hands for...
