We've got you completely covered.The final few weeks of the NBA season are upon us and it's a nightmare in terms of injury reports. Hopefully, we can clear some things up for you here and find some value in a relatively short slate. The guys we need to keep an eye on are Paul George and LeBron James. These two guys will determine what sort of value we have on this slate and a lot of our plays are based on their status. What we're going to do is target games with high paces, as we plan on stacking the LAL-CHA and POR-ATL matchups. Both of these fixtures have the two-highest projected paces on this slate and both games have totals in the 230-range. Not to mention, these matchups have a ton of injuries, which simply opens up value for everyone else in these games. Point guardDamian Lillard FD - $10900 DK - $10100Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 58.94 DK - 62.25Lillard posted a dud in his most recent game but it's easy to see why when looking at the box score. He played just 28 minutes in that blowout victory over the Chicago Bulls and Terry Stotts obviously thought that was a good opportunity to rest their superstar. They needed to get him some rest too, as he's been carrying the load without C.J. McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic. In fact, Lillard is posting a 40 percent usage rate with those two off the floor while averaging 1.6 DK points per minute. Prior to that blowout on Wednesday, Lillard was averaging 53 DK points per game across 38 minutes of action in his previous nine games. That shows just how ball-dominant he's become and he should continue to do that in this superb matchup. Not only does Atlanta ranks dead-last in total defense and first in pace, they also allow the most fantasy points in the league to opposing point guards. Rajon Rondo FD - $6300 DK - $5800Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 34.81 DK - 37.34Rondo has been struggling with his shot recently but he's still providing fantasy value. Since re-capturing the starting point guard role on February 27, Rondo is averaging 31.6 DK points per game across 33 minutes of action. This bump in production should be no surprise when looking at the roster, with Lonzo Ball,...

We've got you completely covered. With the NBA season winding down to its final few weeks, we have one of the toughest slates of the season on Wednesday night. What's really important at this point of the season is to monitor injury reports right until lineup lock. There are so many players sitting out and so many players resting, that huge value opens up every single night. That makes it tough on most DFS users but it allows those who are doing their homework to thrive in this volatile environment. So, our goal on this slate is to stack the POR-CHI and PHX-WSH games. Not only should both those games be played at a blistering pace, they both provide a ton of value through injury question marks. Point guard Damian Lillard FD - $11000 DK - $10300 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 55.55 DK - 57.64 Lillard is probably the best play on the board, as he should have some ridiculous usage in the absence of C.J. McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic. With those two off the floor, Lillard is posting an absurd 41.2 percent usage rate while averaging 1.62 DK points per minute. That shows just how potent his role will be with such limited options available, as he could easily be looking at 40 minutes and 30 shots here. His recent fantasy production paints that picture pretty well, with Lillard scoring at least 45 fantasy points in seven straight games while averaging 52.2 DK points per game in that span. It also doesn't hurt that he faces a Bulls defense who ranks dead-last in defensive efficiency.  Shaquille Harrison FD - $4800 DK - $4900 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 31.12 DK - 30.23 Ryan Arcidiacono FD - $3600 DK - $4100 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 26.88 DK - 27.36 These guys' roles are heavily predicated on the status of Zach Lavine and Kris Dunn, as they become some of the best values on the board if both those players are ruled out. In Tuesday's loss, Arcidiacono scored 28 DK points while Harrison provided 33.3 fantasy points. That's huge production from players in this price range, as they're a near guarantee for 30 minutes of action if LaVine and Dunn are out. Arcidiacono has been stellar on these prices...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday 3/26/19   After a four-game slate that saw some slower teams and late injury news with Mike Conley, we get a full run of Tuesday action. There's already a bunch of injury news out there that will help open up some value. And there are a few quality, upper-tier payoffs as well.   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 Terry Rozier FD - $6500 DK - $6800Opponent - CLEProj Pts FD - 33.83 DK - 34.19 Kyrie Irving has already been ruled out for rest for the Celtics and that should once again leave the starting point guard duties to Rozier. Now, a word of caution: Rozier will get the start, but that doesn’t always mean he plays outsized minutes. He caps out at around 32 minutes with Kyrie out but does see a tick up in usage and assists. He isn’t a must play at these prices, but he’s for sure a good one against a very weak Cleveland team. I prefer the FanDuel price to his DraftKings salary for sure. Ryan Arcidiacono FD - $3600 DK - $3800Opponent - TORProj Pts FD - 23.71 DK - 24.03 Shaquille Harrison FD - $4800 DK - $4400Opponent - TORProj Pts FD - 32.24 DK - 30.83 The Bulls released some injury news way early and we know they’ll be without 60% of their starting lineup in Kris Dunn, Zach Lavine an Otto Porter. With them go a lot of minutes, a lot of usage and almost any semblance the Bulls had of an NBA-viable roster. But that should leave a ton (like maybe close to the whole game) of run for these two guards. Harrison has been starting for Otto Porter in the short term and is coming off back-to-back games in which he player 39 minutes in each. Harrison is a PG in eligibility really only, playing more of the two and three with the Bulls this season. He’s almost for sure a chalk play considering the price and opportunity. And then there’s Arcidiacono who could also run major minutes at the point. He played 32 minutes against the Lakers when Zach Lavine sat. With the Bulls without Dunn as well, they only have so...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Friday 3/25/19   Tuesday in the Association brings us a four-game slate with some of the slower and more defensively-sound teams around. That can always make things tricky from a DFS perspective because you’ll end up having to run guys in less than ideal matchups. But we’ve got you covered wading through some of the cash game plays for Monday’s FanDuel and DraftKings slates.   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 Damian Lillard FD - $10600 DK - $9900Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 51.23 DK - 53 Since C.J. McCollum went down three games ago, the Trailblazers have needed Damian Lillard to step up (even more than usual). Dude’s responded. He’s averaged 12 assists per game (up from 6.7 on the season) and poured in scoring totals of 30, 33 and 28 on lights out shooting from beyond the arc (16-31, 52%). We can’t expect that kind of fire from three, but the usage should remain considering the Blazers are without the other half of their backcourt duo. Ricky Rubio FD - $6500 DK - $5400Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 27.65 DK - 28.11 This is a tough slate with a bunch of slow/ defensively sound squads to try and roster guys against. The Suns aren’t one of those teams. I would love to really trust Rubio as a solid cash game play but the minutes have trended awfully low in some of the recent Jazz games. Some of that is because blowout issues, but the plan in close ones does appear to play Rubio 27-28 minutes. That’s not a ton, but against the Suns he can for sure pile in enough of a fantasy line to get the job done. Heck, even in 26 minutes per game over the last seven games he’s averaging 13 points, six assists, four rebounds and two steals per. Get him close to 30 in a close one and he should pay value. Consider Seth Curry (FD 4100 DK 3800) if you think he plays big minutes off the bench again.   Shooting Guard D'Angelo Russell FD - $9100 DK - $8600Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 42.47 DK - 44.6 Russell has gone into full takeover mode over...

First time with NBA? Be sure to read our free NBA Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. Houston Rockets at the New Orleans Pelicans Houston is favored by 9.5 in a game with a 228 total The main slate kicks off with what could have been a doozy 4 months ago. Now it's mostly just a black eye on the league. The Pelicans have no yet publicly declared whether Davis will play here, and if he does it's quite likely we'll the Pelicans continue to scam their fans by playing him 20 minutes a game. Unfortunately, a lot of his teammates are priced to the minutes and usage they see when he's off the floor, so we're not exactly long on great plays here. Our system likes Julius Randle best of the Pelicans starters, which won't be music to too many ears out there. There's still a case that Cheick Diallo is the best overall play on the team, but is he a cash game play? Nahh. Eric Gordon FD - $4700 DK - $5100Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 25.78 DK - 27.26 P.J. Tucker FD - $4500 DK - $4100Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 24.25 DK - 23.83 Which brings us to the Rockets. Unlike the Pelicans, our lineup optimizer sees essentially every starting Rocket as a DFS viable play tonight. The big question will just be whether the Pelicans can be competitive enough to get these guys their minutes. I highlight these two guys because they are all at once the most speculative and those containing the highest upside thanks simply to their current prices. Both are coming off games where they played high 30s minutes, and while the game logs are pretty ugly (0 points from Tucker last game??), on a smaller slate you may need to find value where you can. I still think the floor should be reasonably high here. I like all three of Clint Capela, Chris Paul, and James Harden, but probably in that order. Harden is just expensive right now for Chris Paul being healthy, and I'm not sure he's the big money payoff we're looking for today. San...
