Point Guard Ben Simmons FD - $7800 DK - $8700Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 42.93 DK - 42.75 The 76ers get a great matchup against a very weak Minnesota team that just got run off the court by the Grizzlies on Friday night. Simmons hasn’t been called on to play a ton of minutes the last few games with the Sixers taking part in three-straight blowouts. But a close game should have him pushing run in the mid-30s and he does have triple-double upside in this matchup. It’s been up and down for Simmons in the short-term without Embiid but this just represents too good a spot. He’s coming much too cheap on FanDuel at sub-$8K. Jordan Clarkson FD - $5300 DK - $6100Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 32.17 DK - 34.18 It looks like Mike Conley is going to sit the second half of the back-to-back for the Jazz meaning we, once again, should see a lot of Jordan Clarkson. The last two times Conley sat out games, Clarkson averaged 26 points and seven rebounds. He’s going to still come off the bench in the sixth man role, but the usage and minutes have been there in the past for the guy when Conley has been out of the mix. The price is still low on enough on FanDuel though I will say it is getting steep on DraftKings. If Bradley Beal is out then Russell Westbrook (FD 11000 DK 11100) would be a must-play once again. There’s also a good chance that, with a lot of other value, we just run Luka Doncic (FD 10400 DK 10600) on Saturday. Shooting Guard Donovan Mitchell FD - $8800 DK - $8800Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 50.46 DK - 53.31 Like I said with Clarkson, Mike Conley is doubtful is for this game meaning Mitchell becomes close to a must-play because of the likely usage uptick he’ll see taking over more of the point guard duties. The last two games Conley sat out, Mitchell was amazing with an average of 39 points and seven rebounds. He jacked up 17 and 30 shots with the former being only that low because he played 28...
DraftKings and FanDuel NBA Picks for Friday, 4/2/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Friday, 4/2/21 This is one of the craziest sports weekends I've ever seen. We have opening weekend in MLB, big games in the NBA, Final Four matchups in men's and women's NCAA, and various obscure sports that can cater to anyone! That includes UFC, PGA, ATP, WTP, and my personal favorite, AFL. This is all about NBA, though, and I'm undoubtedly the most zoned into basketball with all my season-long fantasy leagues winding down to an end. There's a lot to inhale when it comes to this Friday slate, so let's go ahead and break it down!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Ja Morant FD - $6800 DK - $7600 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 39.11 DK - 40.11 Morant has been a bit too inconsistent for someone of his ability, but this price is silly. Especially on FanDuel, with Morant performing like a $9,000 player at times this season. That was certainly the case in his most recent outing, collecting 36 points, seven assists, and three steals in one of his best performances of the season. Games like those show just how special he can be, and it makes it hard to understand why he remains so cheap behind a 37-point average. What makes it even more bizarre is this majestic matchup, with the T'Wolves surrendering the fifth-most fantasy point to opposing PGs this season. Malcolm Brogdon FD - $6600 DK - $7000 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 38.19 DK - 39.52 Brogdon has seen his numbers dip a little bit over the last month or so but not enough for his price to dip this much. We're still talking about a guy who's averaging 39 DraftKings points per game for the season, scoring at least 35 fantasy points in eight of his last 10 games in total. It's crazy that he's been doing that sort of damage consistently and has seen his price drop so much. The matchup makes that price reduction even crazier, with the Hornets owning a 23rd OPRK against opposing point guards this season. That's been on full display in the first two meetings, with Malcolm in the Middle averaging 43 DK points per game. If Donovan Mitchell...
DraftKings and FanDuel NBA Picks for Thursday 4/1/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Thursday, 4/1/21 Many eyes will be fixated on baseball for Opening Day, but we NBA guys are ready to keep grinding. Wednesday's slate went really well for us, and we're going to look to build off that momentum here. We have seven games making up this ledger which is the ideal amount for the player pool. We have a handful of teams playing the second half of a back-to-back set, though, and that'll be something to monitor as we get closer to the first tip.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Russell Westbrook FD - $11300 DK - $11000 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 54.55 DK - 57.72 It's honestly crazy how good this guy has been recently. He's now the highest-priced player in DFS, and he's earned every bit of it. Over his last 22 games, Russ is averaging 23.6 points, 11.2 rebounds, 11.8 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. Those absurd averages are even more ridiculous recently, with Westbrook combining 57 points, 29 rebounds, and 35 assists over the last two games. That's a good month for a lot of players, and his volume should continue to be massive if Bradley Beal is out again. All of that makes him worth it, no matter the price, but this matchup isn't too bad either. Detroit currently ranks 15th in defensive efficiency, and they're a lot worse at PG with Delon Wright being traded to Sacramento. Michael Carter-Williams FD - $5300 DK - $5900 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 29.07 DK - 29.48 Orlando decided to trade away their whole roster at the trade deadline, and it's forced MCW into the role that made him a Rookie of the Year in Philly. They're now without Evan Fournier, Nikola Vucevic, Aaron Gordon, Markelle Fultz, and Cole Anthony, leaving Carter-Williams to feast. He was actually nicked up in the first two games without those guys but collecting eight points, seven rebounds, nine assists, and three steals on Tuesday shows the sort of upside he has. MCW has proven to be able to stuff the stat sheet at ease when given the opportunity, and this is undoubtedly his biggest chance since his Philly days. The matchup with...
DraftKings and FanDuel NBA Picks for Wednesday 3/31/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 3/31/21 To be honest, Tuesday's schedule sucked. We had just four games in total, and most of them were stinkers. That has us motivated to have a big night here, and there's plenty to pick from with 10 games on the docket. It also looks like we could have a lot of close games, with Brooklyn being the only double-digit favorite out there. There's a lot to discuss, though, so let's get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Kyle Lowry FD - $6300 DK - $7200 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 36.14 DK - 38.16 Lowry has had some stinkers recently, but this $6,300 price tag on FanDuel is laughable. This guy has played at a $7K level for most of the season and has had stretches where he's more like an 8-9K player. We say that because he's averaging 38 fantasy points per game for the season, which is right on par with our projections. That alone is 6X value over on FanDuel, and it's even 5X value on DraftKings. We really like him today because of this matchup, though, with Oklahoma City putting out a G-League lineup. That should allow the Raptors to play a competitive game for once, especially with OKC ranked 18th in total defense. Tomas Satoransky FD - $4500 DK - $4500 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 27.23 DK - 27.92 Sato is risky right now with Nikola Vucevic swallowing up so many touches now, but this price tag is silly. He's actually usurped Coby White on the depth chart, starting at point guard for the last few weeks. The Czech guard has scored at least 18 DK points in all nine starts he's made, averaging 26 fantasy points per game in that span. That's a 4X floor and a 6X average, making it hard to believe he's just $4,500 on both sites. While Vooch's presence is worrisome, it sounds like Zach LaVine or Coby White could be out here. If that's the case, Sato's role will increase even more, with very little backcourt depth left after these three. Damian Lillard has fallen below $10K on both sites and can easily drop 50 fantasy points. Shooting...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Tuesday 3/30/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday 3/30/21 After a crazy 11-game slate on Monday, we're down to just four games here. While the Clippers-Magic game is likely to be lopsided, we anticipate the other three games staying close. What's also fascinating about this slate is that we have numerous teams who participated at the trade deadline. That should make things interesting, and it'll definitely play a huge factor in this article. With that in mind, let's get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Ben Simmons FD - $7900 DK - $8700 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 44.18 DK - 43.91 It seems really weird that Simmons price has dropped below $8K on FanDuel. This guy has been nothing but productive since Joel Embiid went down, playing some of the best basketball of his career. In fact, B-Sim is averaging 39 DraftKings points per game across his last 15 outings. That tremendous production is no surprise when you see that Sim has a 25 percent usage rate with Embiid off the floor while averaging over 1.2 DK points per minute. He's been doing that damage despite many of those games being blowouts, and a close game with the Nuggets should force him into 35-40 minutes. It happens to be a quality matchup, too, with Denver ranked 21st in defensive efficiency. Terry Rozier FD - $7500 DK - $7700 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 40.23 DK - 41.79 Scary Terry has been giving opponents nightmares all season long, and it's crazy to think how good he can be with LaMelo Ball out for the foreseeable future. The breakout guard is posting a career-best 35 DK points per game for the season and lead the starters with a 25 percent usage rate with Ball off the floor. That boost in usage has allowed Rozier to score at least 36 DK points in each of his last four fixtures, averaging 43 fantasy points per game in that span. That lofty average is actually below our projection, and it's easy to see why when looking at this matchup. Washington currently ranks 27th in defensive efficiency while playing at the fastest pace in the NBA. Russell Westbrook is the most expensive player on...
