This Saturday set of games could prove to be very tricky when it comes to injury news. There are a lot of high-profile guys who are questionable as of this writing. I'll try to walk through some of the scenarios to watch out for and how they will affect the slate. Point Guard News we are waiting on Luka Doncic FD - $10800 DK - $10800Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 1.52 DK - 1.59 Jalen Brunson FD - $4800 DK - $4200Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 34.89 DK - 36.38 If Luka Doncic sits out again then Jalen Brunson (FD 4800 DK 4200) is a strong play again at these price points. I know the returns weren’t all that great on Friday, but I’d be happy to go right back in this direction if he got the start for Dallas. Conversely, if Luka Doncic (FD 10800 DK 10800) plays and is given a full bill of health then he is a good play in this matchup at these prices. This is just one of the many wait-and-see issues we are faced with on Saturday. If Kawhi Leonard is out again then Reggie Jackson (FD $4800 DK $4700) and/ or Terance Mann (FD $3900 DK $3900) would be interesting in the starting role. Both started last game, but Marcus Morris sat that one out as well. Tomas Satoransky FD - $4500 DK - $4800Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 27.97 DK - 28.44 The Bulls are a new-look team now with the addition of Nikola Vucevic and the offense should have even more firepower now. Satoransky has been locked into the starting point guard role for Chicago and playing around 30 minutes when the games right. He’s been good for about 10 points and six assists per game over the last week or so and the assist numbers should be in line to tick up with a more functional offensive big in the mix. Shooting Guard Joe Ingles FD - $5400 DK - $5800Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 30.05 DK - 31.83 Mike Conley is expected to miss this game due to rest on the back-to-back which should have Joe Ingles once again...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Friday 3/26/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Friday, 3/26/21 If you love crazy DFS slates, this is the one for you. We had what felt like a million trades on Thursday, and it makes this the most uncertain slate of the season. We're not quite sure if these new acquisitions are ready to go yet, and you won't know until shortly before the slate commences. That means value will eventually open up, especially with Orlando trading away their entire roster. That's a team to look out for because there could be some great values on that roster in the coming weeks. The only issue is, we're not quite sure what that rotation will look like yet!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard John Wall FD - $8200 DK - $8300 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 44.09 DK - 45.4 The Rockets are beyond terrible, and it's sad because Wall has had a really nice bounceback season for them. Amazingly, the former All-Star has scored at least 33 DraftKings points in 19 of his last 21 games, averaging 40 fantasy points per game in those 19 outings. He's been even better recently, posting a 42-point average over his last six outings while playing 35 minutes a night. That minute total might be the most important thing because it means Wall is no longer hampered by the Achilles injury that knocked him out for a year. The matchup is fantastic, too, with Minnesota ranked 26th in defensive efficiency while owning a 23rd OPRK against opposing point guards. Jordan Poole FD - $6200 DK - $6500 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 37.82 DK - 39.81 Poole has quietly been an amazing player for the Warriors over the last month, and his role continues to expand with Stephen Curry sidelined. That has led to him scoring at least 24 DraftKings points in nine of his 10 games since returning, generating a 32-point average over his last five fixtures. The thing that's made him so valuable is his role, playing 33 minutes a night while attempting over 16 shots a game. Those are rare sites from a $6K player, and his role should continue to be monstrous as long as Chef Curry is cooking at home....
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Thursday 3/25/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Thursday, 3/25/21 Here we are, guys! This marks the NBA trade deadline, and it always makes for one of the craziest slates of the season. That means value will pop off all across the board once some moves are inevitably made but luckily, we only have five games in total. That means two-thirds of the league isn't even suiting up, and that should make things a little calmer on our end in terms of breaking news for DFS purposes. It will be critical to keep an eye on things more than usual, though, so have a fun trade deadline day!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard De'Aaron Fox FD - $8900 DK - $8700 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 42.73 DK - 44.09 Fox has been fantastic for over a month now, and his price has dropped for some reason. Can you figure that out? The speedy point guard has scored at least 28 DraftKings points in 30-straight games, averaging 25.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 8.3 assists, and 1.2 steals per game in that span. That equates to 44 DraftKings points per game which is right on par with our projections. What makes Fox so good is his elite speed, and that's a scary thing here. We say that because Golden State ranks second in pace and 20th in points allowed. That top-notch pace is awful news against the fastest player in the NBA, which was on full display when Fox had 41 DK points against Golden State earlier this year, despite shooting 7-of-17 from the field. Jordan Poole FD - $6200 DK - $6100 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 38.76 DK - 40.81 Poole's price is starting to get up there, but our projections make us believe he should be a $7K player. We say that because he's been performing like that since Stephen Curry went down with an injury. The young guard has scored at least 24 fantasy points in seven of his last eight games, posting a 33-point average since taking over the starting point guard duties. We can't overlook his role, taking at least 15 shots in four-straight games while playing 38 minutes in back-to-back outings. You can't neglect a $6K...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Wednesday 3/24/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 3/24/21 I'm going to take a little bit of a different approach to this article. We have 11 games ahead on this slate, and that makes the player pool extensive. We know you guys understand that Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Kawhi Leonard, and Trae Young are all elite options, so we're going to zone in on all value plays. We're not going to have a single guy above $7K on either site, and hopefully, it will allow you to fit in at least two of those aforementioned studs into your build. That's what really matters on such a big slate, so let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Darius Garland FD - $5500 DK - $6600 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 30.67 DK - 32.18 Why the heck is Garland just $5,500 on FanDuel? We're talking about a second-year player who's improved throughout the season, averaging 34 fantasy points per game before his injury. That's not far off from the guy we've seen recently, with Garland posting a 30-point average over his last 12 games played. That makes it hard to believe he's so cheap on FanDuel, and we especially love him in a matchup like this. Chicago currently ranks seventh in pace and 24th in points allowed while allowing some monster performances to opposing point guards recently. Tomas Satoransky FD - $4800 DK - $4600 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 24.91 DK - 25.3 It's almost like these sites don't know that Satoransky is the starting point guard in Chicago right now. They're still pricing him around a bunch of role players when he really should be closer to $6K on both sites. The Czech guard has scored at least 27 DraftKings points in four of his six games since taking over starting duties, averaging 28 fantasy points per game in that span. What makes that even less surprising is that he averaged 25 DK points per game in that role last season, making it hard to believe he remains so cheap. The matchup against Cleveland isn't too shabby either, with the Cavaliers ranked 23rd in defensive efficiency. If you have the salary, look for Luka...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Tuesday 3/23/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday, 3/23/21 Monday's slate was completely nuts. There were so many superstar players sitting and so many back-to-backs that it caused chaos for DFS. The good news is that we had a pretty good night at DFSR and are looking to build off of that momentum here. We have more injury news to build off, and it'll be fun to see how this one plays out. Let's go ahead and get into it! Head on over 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.

Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $9400 DK - $10000 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 52.6 DK - 55.62 It's strange that Lillard has seen such a drastic price drop. We know that C.J. McCollum is back and taking away touches, but Dame was outperforming this price tag last year when C.J. was in the lineup anyway. His recent form is impossible to overlook, though, scoring at least 40 DraftKings points in 15 of his last 17 games, posting a 53-point average in those 15 outings. The main reason we love him today is this matchup, though, with Brooklyn ranked 26th in points allowed and 25th in defensive efficiency. Facing a team like this always lights up Lillard's eyes, too, and that's a scary sign for the Nets. Jordan Poole FD - $6500 DK - $5600 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 34.97 DK - 36.77 With Stephen Curry out, Poole has established himself as one of the go-to players in this offense. Amazingly, Poole has scored at least 34 fantasy points in the last three games that Curry has missed, taking 17.3 shots a night. Anyone sitting around 6K attempting 17-plus shots is always in play, particularly when it's a guy who's shooting at a 54 percent clip in that span too. We have to believe this huge role will only rise as long as Curry remains out, and we love that he faces a Philadelphia defense that owns a 25th OPRK against opposing shooting guards this season as well. Ben Simmons should be asked to do more with Joel Embiid out, and that's great news against one of the fastest-paced teams in the NBA. Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $11300 DK - $11000 Opponent -...
