FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Tuesday, 1/26/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday, 1/26/21 After a big slate on Monday, we're rewarded with a much smaller three-game slate here. That Monday slate was absolute chaos too, with the San Antonio-New Orleans game being postponed at about 8ET. That's a nightmare for DFS managers and the Clippers are dealing with some COVID issues of their own right now. That means a lot of guys from that game are going to make it into this article, so, let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Reggie Jackson FD - $5000 DK - $6800 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 28.73 DK - 30.14 Lou Williams FD - $6000 DK - $5800 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 24.96 DK - 25.82 The Clippers had a bombshell dropped on them Monday night when Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Patrick Beverley were all ruled out for the next week. That's a ton of minutes, usage, and ball-handling off the roster, leaving these two guys to feast. Let's start off by talking about Reggie, who's likely to start at point guard. In his only start earlier this season filling in for Beverley, R-Jax had 24 DK points across 18 minutes in what was a monster blowout. That means he easily could have had 30-40 fantasy points in a closer game and Jackson should see at least 30 minutes here. He's not the only guard we love for the Clippers though, with Williams likely seeing a huge bump too. Jackson has a 24 percent usage rate with those three guys off the floor but Williams' usage is just shy of 30 percent. That bump is huge for a struggling guy like Lou and one has to believe he'll see a major increase in shots, minutes, and usage as well. We're talking about one of the greatest Sixth-Men in NBA history and he's simply getting way too much usage at this price to avoid him here. Jerome Robinson FD - $3600 DK - $4000 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 23.22 DK - 23.98 There are some great big-name players on this slate, so, getting a guy like Robinson in there could be huge to build a lineup....

Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $9700 DK - $10300 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 49.08 DK - 51.79 Lillard was a chalk option on Saturday night, and his price hasn't totally accounted for McCollum's shots falling out of the lineup. You're talking about putting 20 shots back into the ecosystem, and given the Trail Blazers' relative lack of scorers, Lillard rates to be the prime beneficiary. We all saw what Lillard did without McCollum last season, and we expect him to pick up that mantle against the Thunder tonight. Jalen Brunson FD - $4300 DK - $4700 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 28.82 DK - 30.02 With Richardson, Kleber, and Finney-Smith out due to health and safety protocols, Brunson has been in line for 30+ minute rotations. He had topped 27 FanDuel points in back to back games before the Mavs were blown out by the Rockets, and the 18 he scored against Houston is something like his floor. He's obviously not a play if he drops out of the starting lineup, but we're happy to keep riding the wave in the meantime. Also considered: Eric Bledsoe. Shooting Guard Fred Vanvleet FD - $7900 DK - $7900 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 42.52 DK - 44.1 Norman Powell FD - $5600 DK - $5200 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 28.34 DK - 29.28 Powell and VanVleet were both chalk options on a small slate yesterday thanks to Kyle Lowry missing his second straight game with a foot issue. Powell was phenomenal, playing 36 minutes and topping 30 fantasy points for the second straight game. VanVleet was solid as well, topping 40 fantasy points thanks to his increased time of possession. It's the second game of a two-game series with the Pacers, so counting on these two for similar production here seems perfectly reasonable. Both guys get a little worse if Siakam returns, though there is no note on his status as of this writing. Tim Hardaway Jr. FD - $5200 DK - $5600 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 30.39 DK - 32.18 Shooting guard gets pretty tough if the Toronto...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Sunday, 1/24/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 1/24/21 It’s a shorter Sunday main slate with some injury questions to answer and a Washington team to figure out. Head on over a for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, our MLB Optimizer and NHL Projections as well. Plus our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with NBA or NFL? Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $9700 DK - $10000Opponent - NYProj Pts FD - 48.41 DK - 50.8 In the last two games with CJ McCollum playing half of one and missing the other because of injury, Damian Lillard put up 35 and 36 points respectively with 23 shots in each. Over the last two seasons, Lillard has a 30% usage rate, but that jumps to 36% when CJ is out of the mix. He’ll be called on to take a lot of shots going forward and the price, especially on FanDuel, doesn’t represent just how much of the offensive load he’s going to have in the short-term. This feels like a pretty easy play on this slate against the Knicks. Elfrid Payton FD - $5300 DK - $5700Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 28.55 DK - 29.3 It’s never been easy to trust Elfrid Payton’s minutes, but that’s also one reason his price has stayed in a completely reasonable zone. And over the last three games, it’s been a little more consistent, running more than 30 in each. You’d like to see the scoring get a little more consistent and the assists tick up as well. But in that stretch, he’s averaging 11 points, four assists and a steal. It won’t overwhelm you, but he does typically contribute enough across the stat line to keep the floor at least relatively high. Shooting Guard Bradley Beal FD - $10300 DK - $10200Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 62.97 DK - 65 Russell Westbrook (probably) and basically the rest of the Washington Wizards’ team is going to miss this game against the Spurs. But Bradley Beal should be out there and will likely be called on to do anything and everything. Now, Washington hasn’t played a basketball game in almost two weeks, but before they stopped Beal was on an absolute tear. Over his last five games he averaged 39 points, six rebounds and six assists on more than 26 shots per game. That’s just insane usage and production. With the Wiz...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Saturday, 1/23/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 1/23/21 We have a lot of teams coming on back-to-backs on Saturday so we will need to keep an eye out for injury issues, rest and more. Let’s dive into some picks. Head on over a for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, our MLB Optimizer and NHL Projections as well.

Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $10800 DK - $10700Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 55.68 DK - 58.66 Luka is coming on the back-to-back on this slate, like most other players here. Houston will be without most of their starters seeing as how Christian Wood and John Wall remain injured plus Victor Oladipo could rest on the back-to-back. It should leave Doncic without too much defensive resistance. He’s actually improved his stats on last season which is remarkable and is averaging 27 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists while also slightly cutting down on the turnovers. This is a smash spot for Luka and he’ll make for a tough fade in cash. Jalen Brunson FD - $4300 DK - $4800Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 25.39 DK - 26.49 Sticking with the same game, Jalen Brunson has found himself in the starting lineup consistently now with Dorian Finney-Smith out and has capitalized on the opportunity. Over the last three games, he’s averaging 31 minutes on the floor and putting up and averaging 16 points, four assists, and three rebounds per. The usage has also been solid and he’s getting up more than 10 shots per game. Like I said with Luka, Dallas is just in such a good matchup here against the Rockets who will be playing with most of their second unit. If Jimmy Butler sits out again, then I think Goran Dragic (FD 5700 DK 6200) is still in play on FanDuel. Shooting Guard Kendrick Nunn FD - $6500 DK - $5600Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 32.03 DK - 33.37 Jimmy Butler might return for this game, but Tyler Herro remains out. I think there should still be plenty of opportunity for Nunn even with him coming off the bench in the last few games. In the last three, he’s blown it out of the box playing more than 34 minutes in each and averaging some career-best numbers with 23 points, six rebounds and four assists...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Friday 1/22/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Friday, 1/22/21 After a meager three-game slate on Thursday, we're back at it with 11 games here. That's actually one of the largest slates we've had all year and that makes the player pool absolutely huge. That's why we're here though, to help you guys limit the pool and throw out some good values. So, with so much to talk about, let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Coby White FD - $6100 DK - $7000 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 30.03 DK - 32.07 White is actually coming off his two worst games of the season but it's lowered his price way too much. This dude was $1,000 more on each site before that poor stretch, turning into one of the best young players in the NBA. Before those two duds, White was averaging 19.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 6,5 assists across his previous 10 outings. That's really good fantasy production despite failing to provide any defensive statistics and it's just a matter of time before he adds a steal per game to that too. If he can regain that form at this price tag, White would be one of the best values out there. One of the big reasons why we believe he can is the matchup, with Charlotte owning a 23rd OPRK against opposing point guards this season. Goran Dragic FD - $5200 DK - $6000 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 29.02 DK - 30.96 With Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro looking likely to miss another game here, Dragic should be running the show yet again for Vice City. With those two off the floor this season, Dragic has a 29 percent usage rate while averaging 1.1 DK points per minute. That's evident when you see that The Dragon has at least 30 DraftKings points in each of the last four fixtures. One of those happened to come against this Raptors team which currently ranks 17th in total defense. That makes these price tags hard to understand and Dragic should be locked into every lineup if Herro and Butler are ruled out yet again. If Jalen Brunson gets another start, he's a great punt...
