Point Guard Dejounte Murray FD - $6600 DK - $5700 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 35.42 DK - 34.58 Murray has been doing work on a points per dollar basis recently, and has recently been thrust into an expended role, playing 29 and 30 minutes in each of his last two games. He's been good for roughly 5x points per dollar in the games where he played 29+ minutes this season, and he'll have his best match-up of the season against the Nets here. Brooklyn has allowed the fourth most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards this year, and while Dinwiddie has been excellent offensively he is not the type of defender to scare us off Murray. Given that we are going to need money for other positions (more on those in a minute), I love Murray for cash games here. Rajon Rondo FD - $4600 DK - $4800 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 27.27 DK - 28 It's the marquee match-up of the season! With 8 losses between them, the Lakers and Bucks will face off for the first time this season, and are sure to pull out of all of the stops. Rondo has a tendency to rise to the occasion, and given that he's paid 6x+ points per dollar on his price in each of his last two games I sort of love him here. Milwaukee actually has some defenders to chase around Bron and Davis, but Rondo could go fairly unchecked, and I think he winds up with a lot of the ball-handling duties. Also considered: A number of guys. Patrick Beverley is a candidate to add more minutes. Spencer Dinwiddie looks pretty good. Russell Westbrook and George Hill don't look so bad, either. It's honestly hard to make a bad call at the position tonight. Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $11400 DK - $12400 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 62.04 DK - 65 Our system is embarrassed on behalf of the FanDuel pricing algorithm, though you might not be able to go up and get Harden on DraftKings. This is just a case where FanDuel is likely...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Wednesday, 12/18/19
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 12/18/19 After a slow Tuesday night, we're back at it with nine games here. One thing that we love is the fact that no game has a double-digit spread. That's a DFS player's dream and it should make for a big scoring night. Without further ado, let's go ahead and get into it!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.

Point Guard Kemba Walker FD - $7600 DK - $7400Opponent - DALProj Pts FD - 41.12 DK - 42.64 These are some strange prices. Walker has done nothing but produce all season long and he should be $1,000 more on each site. In fact, Kemba is averaging 23.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists en route to over 40 DraftKings points per game. That alone is north of 5X value at this price and we love that he gets a matchup against an undersized Jalen Brunson. His form has been even better recently, averaging 44 DK points per game across his last eight fixtures. Jalen Brunson FD - $6000 DK - $6000Opponent - BOSProj Pts FD - 32.03 DK - 33.06 With Doncic out of the picture, Brunson is one of the best values plays on the board. That's about 30 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists out of the lineup which doesn't even include his 20-plus shots and 30 percent usage rate. Brunson is definitely keen on taking care of a good amount of that, scoring over 37 DK points in the two games Doncic has missed. Playing at least 32 minutes in both of those while receiving starts tells us that he's the go-to guy in his absence and we have to continue to use him until he gets closer to $7,000. Chris Paul is coming off the best game of his season and gets a super matchup against a bad Grizzlies defense. Shooting Guard Jrue Holiday FD - $8200 DK - $7800Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 44.92 DK - 45.28 With Zion Williamson and J.J. Redick likely missing this game, Holiday should get a ton of shots, minutes and usage. While that's already been the case, we absolutely love that for a talented player like this. We're talking about a guy who's averaging more than...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Tuesday, 12/17/19
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday, 12/17/19 Welcome back lovers of games of skill! Tuesday night in the NBA brings us a six-game slate full of excitement and intrigue! We've got value plays, studs, and the will he or won't he drama of Anthony Davis all packed into one evening of hoops action! So why are we wasting time up here in the intro?

Point Guard Spencer Dinwiddie FD - $8300 DK - $7500 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 41.31 DK - 42.45 We'll get things started with a little bit of "Din-sanity!" Spencer Dinwiddie and the Nets hit the Big Easy high off of a statement win against the Sixers at home on Sunday. Dinwiddie led the charge for Brooklyn with a game-high 24 points in just 29 minutes of play. It was his fourth-straight contest with that total. The Pelicans have been straight-up terrible defending against the point this season, allowing more fantasy points than any other team to the position. Of the four games that I have opening lines on as of this writing, this game promises to be the marquee matchup with a projected total of 230.5 and a mere 1.5 point differential. I'm expecting a big night for Dinwiddie and love him as a cash option. Trae Young FD - $10000 DK - $9900 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 46.8 DK - 49.66 Last night, the theme at the point was to get in and get out on the cheap, not so tonight. Our NBA projection system loves the big money plays tonight and it's not hard to see why. Trae Young has exploded on the scene in his sophomore season, filling out the stat sheet night in and night out. In 36 minutes against the Lakers, he dropped 30 points, the third time in six games he has hit that total. Mix in six rebounds and seven dimes and we have the makings of a solid evening of fantasy production. The turnovers can be a problem, but that's not something to be overly concerned with against the Knicks. This is another game with a 1.5 point differential in the spread so anticipate a...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Monday, 12/16/19 Monday starts a new week leading off with a seven-game slate of contests in the Association. A couple of serious injuries over the weekend open up a lot of potential value plays this evening.

Point Guard Kendrick Nunn FD - $6000 DK - $6000Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 31.8 DK - 32.24Goran Dragic didn't travel with the Heat to L.A. and though he is technically listed as a GTD tonight, I'm feeling it is more likely he'll suit up for Wednesday's game in Philly if he doesn't just hold out until the team returns to Miami later this week. Even if he does attempt to give it a go tonight, he'll likely be limited which means we have a little longer to run out Kendrick Nunn with confidence. Down the stretch, Nunn's scoring has been shakey, to say the least, but the minutes have remained consistent and the fantasy totals have been worth the price of admission. Point guard has just been a funny position to pin down this season, and if the Dragon remains out I'm fine with rolling out Nunn in my lineups, and likely will even if Goran does make the trip to Memphis. Jalen Brunson FD - $3700 DK - $5500Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 33.77 DK - 34.69As if point guard wasn't already a tough position to field, we lose one of the sure things for the next several weeks as Luka Doncic exited Saturday night's game with a nasty ankle sprain. This does present us with a tremendous value play, however, as Jalen Brunson stepped up in a big way following Doncic's early exit. In 34 minute's Brunson posted 18 points, with seven boards and eight assists, good for a nearly 10X PPD (points per dollar) performance against one of the games tougher matchups for opposing PG's. Tonight Brunson will go against a Bucks team that is slightly below average defending the position in a game with a promising 227 projected total. I will likely have a ton...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Sunday, 12/15/19
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 12/15/19 Well it's a four game main slate on FanDuel, kicking off just as the second set of NFL games are winding down. There are a few outstanding pieces of information as of this writing, with Al Horford's status probably being the biggest piece of news. Let's lay a good foundation of preparation in the meantime.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Ben Simmons FD - $8600 DK - $9300 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 44.4 DK - 43.69 Simmons has been pretty hit or miss this season, but he's usually a bit better with one of the other big players out of the lineup. With Horford's potential absence in play here, we can turn to last game and see that Simmons should be capable of big things. He put together 24 points and 11 assists against the Pelicans, and chipped in 5 defensive stats while he was at it. Simmons hasn't faced the Nets yet this season, but they've allowed the third most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season, and he should be bringing a pretty solid floor here. Spencer Dinwiddie FD - $7700 DK - $8200 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 39.55 DK - 40.95 Dinwiddie has been the heart and soul of the Nets' gutty performances without Kyrie, and now you're getting him at a steep discount in an admittedly tough match-up. Our lineup optimizer thinks the price hate has gone too far, though, and has him penciled in for the best fantasy points per minute at the position besides Simmons. Dinwiddie has gone 12 straight games with 35 fantasy points or more, and even if you just take that rather respectable floor you're perfectly happy on this small and tough slate. Also considered: Trae Young. Shooting Guard Kevin Huerter FD - $4800 DK - $4000 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 23.74 DK - 24.46 And you thought point guard was looking tough. Huerter's minutes limit was raised to 30 last game, and while he didn't get there fantasy wise this price is simply too cheap on DraftKings. The Lakers are about as bad a match-up as you can ask for, but on...
