Point Guard Dejounte Murray FD - $5700 DK - $6200 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 32.37 DK - 31.95 Derrick White FD - $5900 DK - $5700 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 30.72 DK - 30.5 The Spurs point guards each had around 50% ownership on Sunday, and had these prices paid through three quarters. It won't be quite as easy as it came against Memphis, but the opportunity should be there in spades given San Antonio's banged up back court. Monte Morris FD - $4000 DK - $5000 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 27.6 DK - 27.43 With Jamal Murray currently listed as "very questionable" for this game, it's important to highlight Morris as potentially one of the best FanDuel plays on the day. Morris didn't wow the crowdless arena against the Heat, but he still paid his price regardless. You'd almost have to think that game represented his floor, with plenty of starters losing minutes as the game got out of hand. The DraftKings price makes it pretty close over there, but I'm happy to double down on FanDuel. Also considered: De'Aaron Fox. Shooting Guard Fred Vanvleet FD - $6600 DK - $ Opponent - MIA Proj Pts FD - 35.25 DK - 35.8 Nobody gave the Raptors the memo that these bubble games aren't super meaningful for them, as they ran VanVleet out there for 40 minutes in regulation against the Lakers on Saturday. He put together a balanced 13/5/11 line en route to 38.4 FanDuel pointsin a brutal match-up with the Lakers, and while the Heat aren't a great match-up (bottom 5 pace, top 12 defensive efficiency) they can't be worse than the Lakers. This game rates to be a highly contested match-up of two of the East's best teams, and VanVleet is a heavy favorite to get huge run again, giving him one of the highest floors at the position. Victor Oladipo FD - $5500 DK - $5900 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 38.44 DK - 40.27 Oladipo was supposed to be limited to 28 minutes going into Saturday's game, but wound up playing 32 in a nail...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Sunday, 8/2/20

Point Guard Ricky Rubio FD - $6300 DK - $7200 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 31.63 DK - 32.15 Ja Morant FD - $7500 DK - $7300 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 36.98 DK - 38.21 I list Rubio and Morant together here because I like them differently depending on what site you're playing. Rubio is the cheaper option on FanDuel, of course, and Morant is probably just a better DFS player overall, so you'll take him at a similar price on DraftKings. Both looked excellent on a points per dollar basis in their first game back from the league being suspended, with Morant finding almost 45 fantasy points after the Portland game went to overtime. But both guys are just flat out value plays. Rubio averaged 34 fantasy points this season, and stands to get more run than usual in this 8 game sprint. Morant has hopped right back into his full rotation, playing an excellent 35 minutes in regulation en route to an eventual double double. Both guys have high floors, but I'll be price shopping depending on the site. De'Aaron Fox FD - $7700 DK - $7900 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 44.07 DK - 44.26 Orlando was a tough DFS match-up this season, playing a bottom 5 pace with a top 10 defensive efficiency this season, so we're not running Fox for the match-up here. It's just a straight up value play. In the San Antonio game Fox looked like he had been spending the last 4 months dreaming of scoring 100 points in an NBA game, as he lofted a career high 33 shots. That's 9 more shots than he's ever taken into a single game. I'll assume there will be some regression there, but if he is taking on any kind of expanded role he'll be a value until the sites correct for it. Also considered: Lillard and Westbrook as big money options. Westbrook has a fast paced game with the Bucks, and Lillard is still shouldering plenty of the Trail Blazers' offense in spite of them getting healthier. Shooting Guard Caris Levert FD - $7800 DK - $7800...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Saturday, 8/1/20

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 8/1/20 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. A quick word before we get started. The Denver Nuggets have already ruled out Gary Harris and Will Barton, and Jamal Murray is currently listed as questionable. You'll want to monitor this situation closely since a ton of value will inevitably open up. Some of those options might not be too exciting, like Torrey Craig, but Denver is looking pretty unpredictable for their first game in the bubble. Point Guard Mike Conley FD - $5700 DK - $5400 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 31.63 DK - 33.05 After a super weird beginning to the season, Conley was just finding his stride before the season was suspended. Since February Conley has been essentially automatic for 30+ fantasy points, exceeding that total in 9 out of he 12 games where he played 30+ minutes. In his first game back against the Pelicans he scored 31.2 fantasy points in 33 minutes, and that's indicative of his performance going forward he's 10% too cheap on FanDuel and arguably more than that on DraftKings. I love him as a cash game staple even against a touch OKC defense. Reggie Jackson FD - $4100 DK - $4100 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 27.57 DK - 29.4 Unless we get word that Beverley is scheduled for a huge bump in minutes, Jackson looks criminally cheap in one of the best possible bubble match-ups in New Orleans. He played 34 minutes against the Lakers, and while he didn't go crazy, you'd have to think that the 19.2 FanDuel points he grabbed against the Lakers is something like his floor. He's not going to be the centerpiece of the offense by any means, and there is risk of Beverley assuming a bigger role at some point soon, but I think we get one more good value game out of him before both his price rises and Beverley returns to his full form. Shake Milton has won the starting role, and is way too cheap on FanDuel. On DraftKings his new role is already priced in. He's probably a safer play on FD than Reggie Jackson though. Also considered: Aaron Holiday, if Victor Oladipo winds up missing...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Thursday, 3/12/20

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 JA Morant FD - $6500 DK - $6900 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 37.94 DK - 39.37 It's an under-card marquee game on this slate, with Memphis clinging to the 8th seed in the West and the Trail Blazers being one of the two teams that's 3.5 games back of them. Memphis has eased Morant into a slightly longer rotation recently, and he's been supplying a steady diet of 5x+ points per dollar performances over the last couple of weeks. He's coming off a game against Orlando where he played a career high 35:20, and it's a welcome sign that he did well against an Orlando team that's been a brutal DFS match-up based on their slow pace. Portland represents a solid spot here, and I'm happy to deploy Morant in any format. Coby White FD - $6200 DK - $6900 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 34.65 DK - 36.49 White forced the Bulls hand after putting up huge night after huge night off the bench, and now that he's starting, it sure looks like he's just under-priced relative to his current opportunity. He's playing 37 minute rotations in close games, and really hasn't given up a whole lot of usage in spite of playing alongside the starters more often. Recent returns have him looking like a $7k player (closer to his DraftKings price, actually), so getting this discount on FanDuel more than makes up for the slow match-up with the Magic. Keep an eye on the crazy Bucks. If Giannis misses Eric Bledsoe should be the highest owned PG, assuming he plays. Shooting Guard Caris Levert FD - $7100 DK - $7500 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 41.56 DK - 42.55 While there is some outstanding injury news surrounding this game, the one thing that looks pretty safe right now in Nets land is Caris Levert. Levert has been totally unleashed at this point, leading the team in both minutes and usage, and leading the under-manned Nets to some impressive wins in the process. If he's really going to be a 35-38 minute a game guy that is also the primary ball...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Wednesday, 3/11/20

Posted by on Mar 11, 2020 in Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks, DraftKings NBA Picks, FanDuel NBA Picks |

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 3/11/20 Monday's slate was a complete disaster with the crap that Milwaukee pulled but Tuesday was more normal. Random restings are going to become more common over the final month of the season though and it makes things very difficult on us. That's why we're going to try to forecast some potential absences and our first play is definitely one of those guys who could benefit from a teammate being 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 NFL 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 Luka Doncic FD - $11200 DK - $11000Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 51.35 DK - 53.72 With Dallas playing on Tuesday, it seems very likely that Kristaps Porzingis will sit in the second half of a back-to-back set. That's huge for everyone in this offense, with KP averaging 51.4 fantasy points per game over his last 14 fixtures. That's a lot of production to make-up and it's clear that Doncic is in take-over mode when you see his 40 percent usage rate with Porzingis off the floor. He's also averaging 1.7 DK points per minute with KP sidelined and averaged 53 DraftKings points per game in the 12 games that he's missed this season.   De'Aaron Fox FD - $7800 DK - $7800Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 43.68 DK - 43.9 Fox is a little bit risky but there's a lot to like about him here. His biggest asset is his matchup, facing a Pelicans team that sits 27th in total defense and third in pace. That fast pace is even more attractive for a guy like Fox, as he's one of the fastest players in the NBA. He's been rolling recently too, scoring at least 33 DK points in 25 of his last 27 games while averaging 41 fantasy points per game in that span. That's rare to see from a player below $8,000 and it's scary to think how many stats he can accrue in this up=tempo matchup.  Kendrick Nunn (FD $4600 DK $4800) would be a fantastic play if Jimmy Butler sits out with his toe injury.  Shooting Guard Bogdan Bogdanovic FD - $5200 DK - $5100Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 30.81 DK - 31.92 It's crazy that Bogdanovic's price remains so affordable. Not only...
