Trying to write an article is very difficult at this time of the year but it's actually one of the best times to capitalize on injury situations. There are so many teams sitting players at this point, that there are numerous minimum priced players seeing huge workloads. That's all DFS owners can ask for, as that allows us to get more studs into our lineup. The craziness does make it a bit unpredictable though, so be sure to listen to our podcast and join our Member's Only Chat prior to lock to get all the last-minute information! Point guard Kemba Walker FD - $9000 DK - $8900 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 46.82 DK - 48.11 The status of Walker is a bit concerning with Charlotte now out of playoff contention but this is a tough spot to pass up on him. What's really intriguing here is his matchup, as he faces a Pelicans team who ranks 28th in total defense while allowing the third-most fantasy points to opposing point guards. That's tough to fade when we're talking about a guy who averages 21 shots and 36 minutes per game while leading the team with a 30 percent usage rate. Aside from a 47-point blowout at the hands of the Golden State Warriors on Sunday, Walker has been rolling over the last two weeks. In fact, Walker is averaging 53.1 DK points per game in the other six games of that seven games span. Charlotte's commitment to Walker is also one of the only sure things this time of year, and that level of safety is worth a lot.   Trey Burke FD - $4900 DK - $4900 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 28.03 DK - 28.5 With Luka Doncic likely missing this game, Burke becomes one of the best values on the board. In the last two games, Burke is averaging 35 DK points per game across 30 minutes of action. Minutes are all that really matters for a guy like Burke, as he's a fantasy point-per minute producer. That means if he matches his 30 minutes from the last two games, we'll be looking at a 6X floor in this price range. Minnesota is a fantastic matchup too, with the T'Wolves ranking 24th in both points allowed and defensive...

FanDuel and DraftKings NBA picks for 4/2/19 The NBA season is winding down and that can lead to a lot of weird nights. Superstars sit. Nobodies play a lot. Teams are in the tank. Teams are resting. So many narratives are out there and the DFS implications are all over the place. Let's take a look at some of the things to concern yourself with tonight.

We've got you completely covered.Playing the final week of NBA DFS is borderline psychotic but it's also a great time to make some money. Doing a little bit of extra homework can allow you to succeed big time in this volatile stretch of the season, as these rotations are more bizarre than ever. What's really interesting about this time of year is how much resting is going on. There are numerous teams sitting stud players every game and it opens up the door for tons of value. That's why we're going to stack Lakers here, as they have their four-best players out of the lineup. Point guardRussell Westbrook FD - $11600 DK - $11000Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 58.92 DK - 61.78In such a short slate, it's hard to fade someone like Westbrook. What really makes him intriguing is the fact that we have so many cheap options available. That makes it possible to get multiple studs into your lineup, which may end up being the optimal strategy. Westbrook's numbers speak for themselves, as he's averaging 58 DK points per game while never scoring fewer than 33 fantasy points in any game this season. That floor becomes particularly enticing in this matchup, with Los Angeles sitting fourth in pace and 22nd in total defense. That's evident by the fact that Westbrook is averaging 62 DK points per game in two outings against the Lakers this season. Alex Caruso FD - $4000 DK - $4600Opponent - OKCProj Pts FD - 21.26 DK - 20.78Caruso is not a guy who I thought would ever be in one of my articles but here we are in the final week of the NBA season. His recent form is hard to argue with though, with Caruso averaging 24 DK points per game across his last 10 outings. All of the injuries in Los Angeles have really opened things up for him, with Caruso is averaging 25 minutes per game in that span. He's also providing a 21.4...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Monday 4/1/19   Well, it’s April Fool’s Day and that can often feel like what we are dealing with on a nightly basis when it comes to the late season NBA minutes, rotations and injury news. It feels like we are playing roulette each evening with who is going to play, and how much. It means paying attention to news is as critical as ever and there is a quite a bit to wade through for Monday’s slate.   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 in time for Opening Day, and our new player lab!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Goran Dragic FD - $6000 DK - $6500Opponent - BOSProj Pts FD - 33.01 DK - 34.84 The Heat will once again be without Justise Winslow and Josh Richardson in the back court, leaving (presumably) another heavy workload for Dragic on Monday. He’s played 37 and 38 minutes respectively over the last two games and put up a total of 31 shots. He struggled from the field against the Knicks on Saturday, but is only a game removed from a triple-double (23 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists) against the Mavericks on Thursday. The matchup against Boston isn’t ideal, but with the Heat still very much fighting for a playoff spot, few other players have the kind of minutes safety as Dragic on this slate (which is saying a lot considering he’s on the Heat). Jalen Brunson FD - $5500 DK - $5400Opponent - PHIProj Pts FD - 24.48 DK - 25.8 Trey Burke FD - $3600 DK - $4000Opponent - PHIProj Pts FD - 27.02 DK - 27.42 I’m assuming Luka Doncic sits out again as a precautionary measure on Monday and that should leave a bulk of the point guard minutes to Brunson and Burke. On Sunday, Burke was the fantasy darling playing 31 minutes and finishing with 25 points on 10-18 shooting and eight assists. The price didn’t have a chance to move overnight, leaving him as a crazy value once again. It’s always a little tough to trust bench minutes for cash games, but Burke’s opportunity feels safe enough considering the situation and salaries. Meanwhile, Brunson was fine in his 30 minutes on Sunday, though a bit underwhelming considering his price tier. He still isn’t all that expensive and...

We've got you completely covered. Early slate So the early slate today probably has a little bit more going on than the main slate, to be honest. It's a shame that we miss the Hawks/Bucks game, since it looks like Giannis is going to miss it. This should keep the game somewhat competitive, and it should make a lot of Bucks guys fantastic plays. Tony Snell is missing this one as well, so you get even more minutes to spread around. Alas, that game isn't on any slate at this moment, so we'll have to make due elsewhere. Dallas Mavericks at the Oklahoma City Thunder OKC is favored by 12 in a game with a 222 total. With Doncic ruled out, you sort of get a blessing and a curse here. On one hand, it obviously opens up a ton of value on the Mavs. On the other hand, it dramatically increases the blowout risk here. Still, on a two game slate I don't think we can worry all that much about blowouts. On the Dallas side, things are a little bit tricky here. When Doncic missed the Cleveland game on March 16th it was Tim Hardaway Jr. that benefited the most. With THJ out for the rest of the season, things get quite a bit murkier. You'd have to think that Dorian Finney-Smith and Maxi Kleber are in line for significant boosts here, and both should be automatic cash game plays even in a tough match-up with OKC. Dirk also played a bunch of minutes in that game, but who knows if that will be the plan here once again. I also like Justin Jackson quite a bit here. Paul George FD - $10200 DK - $9600 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 50.78 DK - 51.79 Russell Westbrook FD - $11600 DK - $10700 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 57.44 DK - 59.92 It's going to be tough to avoid paying up for both Westbrook and PG today. With the bevvy of superstars missing today, you get both a lot of super cheap value options and very few ways to get paid off for it. I think you just take Westy and PG for the raw points and call it a day. If by some miracle the game stays close you...

We've got you completely covered. There are a ton of injuries in every slate but this one is absolutely fascinating. The laundry list of studs who are expected to sit Saturday is amazing. In fact, we're expected to be without Joel Embiid, Kawhi Leonard, Zach LaVine, Lauri Markkanen, Otto Porter, Kris Dunn. That doesn't even include players like Al Horford, Kyrie Irving and Damian Lillard, who could all be rested in the second half of a back-to-back set. That's why keeping an eye on injury news will be critical in this slate and it'll be fascinating to see what sort of value opens up come lineup lock time. Point guard Goran Dragic FD - $5300 DK - 5300 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 34.11 DK - 35.94 Dragic has dealt with injuries all season long and it's kept his price extremely affordable. His most recent game showed the sort of upside he presents, as he collected 23 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists across a season-high 38 minutes en route to 62 DK points. That's easily his best performance of the season and Miami will need to continue to ride Dragic with their playoff hopes hanging on a thread. What really adds to his intrigue here is this superb matchup, as he faces a Knicks defense who ranks 28th in defensive efficiency while allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing PGs.  Fred Vanvleet FD - $5500 DK - $5800 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 30.84 DK - 31.86 With Kawhi Leonard ruled out for this game, VanVleet should make yet another start. In 26 starts this season, VanVleet is averaging more than 30 fantasy points per game. It's easy to understand why, with VanVleet posting a 20 percent usage rate with Leonard off the floor. He's also playing more than 30 minutes a game in these circumstances and should be priced closer to $7,000 in this expanded role. The matchup is the icing on the cake though, with Chicago ranking dead-last in defensive efficiency.  Also Consider: Shaquille Harrison continues to play big minutes with all the injuries in Chicago and remains a good value in the $5,000-range.       Shooting Guard Jimmy Butler FD - $8300 DK - $7300 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 48 DK - 47.2 When...
