Point Guard Kyle Lowry FD - $8400 DK - $8700Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 48.31 DK - 51.88 With Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam out of the lineup over the last few games, Lowry has been called on for big minutes in the short term. He’s averaged 38 over his last three and put 17 points, 12 assists, and four rebounds in that stretch. And the 33% shooting from the field has also been well below his standard efficiency meaning there is probably room for growth on the scoring especially. The price hasn’t come up enough on either site to reflect the increase in minutes or usage with the other key Toronto Raptors out of the mix right now. Damian Lillard FD - $9900 DK - $10700Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 53.31 DK - 55.99 CJ McCollum is set to come back pretty soon meaning we aren’t going to have many more chances to play Lillard when the usage is this much in his own hands. He’s putting up such a magnificent season with 30 points per game on 39% shooting from three where he’s averaging more than 11 attempts per game. That’s just silly and on Saturday he’ll face a Timberwolves team ranked in the bottom third in defensive efficiency on the season. This game’s 233 over/under is the second-highest number on the slate and it should be a high-scoring affair. Consider Jrue Holiday (FD 6100 DK 6500) whose minutes restriction is off now. He’s facing the Wizards and their porous defense. Shooting Guard Kevin Huerter FD - $5300 DK - $5700Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 27.08 DK - 27.25 This game is tied for the highest opening over/under on the day and we will want to target some players in this one for sure. Huerter does get hurt a bit on the minutes with the returns of Bogdan Bogdanovic and Danilo Gallinari getting more minutes off the bench. That’s something of an issue. But shooting guard is one of the weaker positions on the slate and I think targeting Huerter at these mid-tier prices is fine. He’s still running low-30s minutes and has put up 16 points and four rebounds over the...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Friday, 3/12/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Friday, 3/12/21 Thursday's slate was incredible, and we're ecstatic for more action here. What needs to be taken into consideration is that we're going to be looking at a condensed schedule. That means more games every night and more teams playing back-to-backs. That's going to cause chaos for DFS, but we're going to do our best to evaluate these situations and bank on some of these decisions to rest players. So, without further ado, let's get into this Friday slate!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Darius Garland FD - $6200 DK - $6600 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 30.79 DK - 32.04 Garland has been way too cheap all season long, and it's a wonder why. Before getting injured early on, the stud sophomore averaged 34 fantasy points per game. That's pretty much the guy we've seen recently, with Garlans scoring at least 21 DraftKings points in 18 of his last 19 games while averaging 29.2 fantasy points per game in that span. That even includes numerous blowouts, making Garland's upside even higher. What really adds to his value here is the matchup, though, with New Orleans surrendering the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing point guards while ranked 29th in defensive efficiency. Mike Conley FD - $6000 DK - $6400 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 35.01 DK - 35.84 How often do you see an All-Star priced around $6,000? That alone makes Conley a great value, averaging 33 fantasy points per game for the season. That makes him look like a great buy, and this price is even more difficult to understand when you look at his recent form. The former Memphis guard has scored at least 25 DK points in five straight outings, averaging 33 fantasy points per game in that span. That's right on par with the season average, making the price drop all the more baffling. The matchup is simply the icing on the cake, with Houston having the worst record over the last month while sitting 21st in point allowed. Not to mention, the Rockets own a 22nd OPRK against opposing PGs as well. Michael Carter-Williams is the starting point guard in Orlando and is always in play with...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Thursday, 3/11/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Thursday, 3/11/21 It's been a week since my last article, and I'm ready for a big second half! We had a ton of craziness in the first half, and it appears there's no let-up when you look at all the news on this slate. We have a million guys questionable, and players already ruled out because of COVID protocols. It's also frustrating that so many teams haven't dropped much injury news after a long break but be sure to watch out for all the news that will surely drop during the day today!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard De'Aaron Fox FD - $8500 DK - $9100 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 47.54 DK - 48.36 Fox is a regular in these articles, and if you look at his recent form, it appears we're doing something right. Amazingly, Fox has at least 28 DraftKings points in 22-straight games, averaging 44.4 fantasy points per game in that span. That's a crazy total from a guy who's growing by the day, and it's scary to think that he's been doing this damage with the Kings struggling mightily. What we love about him here is this matchup, facing a Houston club in the midst of a 12-game losing streak. A big reason for that is their 21st-ranked defense, owning a 22nd OPRK against opposing PGs as well. That's also clear when you see that Fox has over 87 combined fantasy points in his two meetings with the Rockets this year. Elfrid Payton FD - $4900 DK - $5600 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 32.52 DK - 33.11 Payton can be a frustrating guy to own in season-long formats, but we're talking about DFS here. That means we only need him to be successful for this one slate, which seems like a strong possibility when you look at all the variables. The biggest aspect is the fact that Derrick Rose is expected to miss this game. That means Payton will start and play his usual 30 minutes at point guard. He did just that in the last game before the break, collecting 43 DK points in one of the best games of the season. That's a crazy total...

Be sure to read our free NBA Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Ja Morant FD - $8000 DK - $7800Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 45.13 DK - 46.26 Ja Morant gets the gift of the best matchup on the short slate and will likely be a chalk option for this two-gamer. He’s facing a Wizards’ team running the league’s fastest pace and playing the fourth-worst defense. Morant dialed it up before the break, rocking back-to-back 35 points games against the Bucks and these very same Wizards. He should be in for another high-volume shooting game considering Washington has little in the way of functional defense and the game could be a track meet. The price has barely moved on either site and he’s still affordable for what he can put up scoring-wise. Dejounte Murray FD - $8500 DK - $7500Opponent - DALProj Pts FD - 37.47 DK - 37.83 Murray has played 31 or more minutes in each of his last six games lending credence to the idea that he’s working towards being a safer cash play at these prices. It’s easier to stomach on DraftKings where he’s still in the mid-$7K range though FanDuel is a bit tougher to swallow. Over his last five, he’s averaging 20 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists while piling up 12 steals in that stretch. He still has double-double upside considering how he can contribute in multiple ways across the stat line. He doesn’t draw the best matchup of the slate, but still has a higher floor. Shooting Guard Dillon Brooks FD - $5600 DK - $5400Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 33.42 DK - 33.69 Brooks is solidly in the middle tier on both sites, something that will come in handy considering the smaller player pool on the two-gamer. To hit fantasy value, Brooks really needs to put the ball in the hoop. 58% of his fantasy scoring comes from his actual scoring which is among the higher percentages in the league. It means if the three-ball especially isn’t dropping you could be in trouble. But he shot at some of his highest volume of the season in the last two games before the break, putting up 18 and 20 shots respectively. We could be looking at an expanded role which...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Thursday, 3/4/21
Member Login Username: Password: FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Thursday, 3/4/21 This marks the final day before the All-Star break! If Wednesday was any indication, this slate should be absolutely nuts. We literally had two Pistons record triple-doubles, and T.J. McConnell pick up nine first-half steals yesterday! Yeah, that's where we're at right now in the NBA. In any case, we're looking to end the first half of the season strong, so let's get into this final slate!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard De'Aaron Fox FD - $8300 DK - $8900 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 46.42 DK - 47.79 Fox didn't get much All-Star consideration because of how chaotic the Kings are, but this guy has played at an All-Star level for over a month now. In fact, Fox has scored at least 32 DraftKings points in 20 straight games, averaging 25.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 8.8 assists, and 1.1 steals in that span. That equates to a 44-point average, making him a bargain below $9K on both sites. The best part about this is the matchup, though, with Portland ranked 28th in defensive efficiency while surrendering the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing PGs. In their last meeting, De'Aaron collected 29 points, six rebounds, and six assists if you needed any more incentive. Malcolm Brogdon FD - $6700 DK - $8000 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 41.67 DK - 42.94 It's pretty insane that Brogdon is down to $6,700 on FanDuel. That's downright criminal, with the $8K price tag on DraftKings being more indicative of how good this guy is. We're talking about a blossoming point guard who's averaging 40 fantasy points per game, which is right on par with what he's been doing over the last eight games. That makes the recent price drop hard to understand, especially in a matchup like this. Denver currently sits 16th in total defense while owning a 23rd OPRK against opposing point guards. They're also a Top-5 team in terms of pace, and that only adds to Brogdon's intrigue. If you have the salary, Damian Lillard should wreak havoc on a terrible Kings defense. Shooting Guard Paul George FD - $7900 DK - $8600 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD -...
