Point Guard Aaron Holiday FD - $4200 DK - $4800 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 27.85 DK - 28.83 Malcolm Brogdon FD - $5900 DK - $7300 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 37.83 DK - 39.22 Oladipo is questionable here, and his return would obviously sour the deal on Holiday in particular. Even if he returns, though, I think you can run Malcolm Brogdon out there. The price has come down on FD as a result of a couple of tough DFS performances, but the discerning DFS eye knows that this has just created an opportunity for us. The Pacers' last two games have been decided by a combined 85 points, and while Vegas sees this as a 9.5 point game in its own right I think you should assume that the Pacers play their full run here. Brogdon is an auto include on FanDuel in any format at these prices, and Holiday might wind up being the play of the day if Dipo sits. Chris Paul FD - $7400 DK - $7900 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 39.39 DK - 39.88 CP3 typifies a certain kind of pick you need to make tonight, where you're going to wind up with a decent number of plays that are solid but unexciting. Paul has averaged roughly 5x fantasy points per dollar on his FD price this season, and is playing 33-34 minutes in close games right now. He and SGA have really found a groove together, and both are thriving in the current offense. The Kings are a tougher match-up than they've been in the past, but they are still allowing the 12th most fantasy points per minute to opposing PGs this season. Like I said - this is solid, if unspectacular. Also considered: De'Aaron Fox on a cheap price tag going the other way. Shooting Guard Josh Richardson FD - $5200 DK - $5300 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 29.78 DK - 29.97 It's the second half of a back to back, but with Ben Simmons still out of the picture Richardson is firmly on the list of guys who are just under-priced...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Tuesday, 2/26/20
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 2/26/20 There are so many injuries right now, so, capitalizing on those is going to be a major theme in this article. That's how you find value in DFS and it's only going to get worse from here on out with teams losing their grips on contention. With that in mind, let's get into our favorite plays of the day!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 Luka Doncic FD - $10000 DK - $10300Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 51.92 DK - 54.7 Doncic is always one of the best plays on the board and it's hard to understand why he's seen such a stark decrease in price. This is a guy who was $12,000 in the final game before the break and there's no reason why his price should have dropped $2,000. We're talking about a dude who's averaging 57.2 DraftKings points per game for the season which actually matches his average over his last three fixtures. That makes the price drop all more mind-boggling and we can't overlook the fact that he faces a 24th-ranked Spurs defense too. In his two games against San Antonio this season, Doncic is averaging 64.6 fantasy points per game. Dejounte Murray FD - $5800 DK - $5900Opponent - DALProj Pts FD - 35.15 DK - 34.63 Murray has finally been seeing the role that fans have been asking for and it's led to the best stretch of his career. Over his last five fixtures, Murray is averaging 38.8 DraftKings points per game across 29 minutes of action. That's the production of a $7,500 player and it's hard to understand why he remains so affordable with LaMarcus Aldridge also out. What adds to his intrigue is this matchup, opposing Doncic's subpar defense. Spencer Dinwiddie (FD $7100 DK $8000) gets to face a Wizards team who owns the worst defense in the NBA and is averaging close to 40 fantasy points per game when starting for Kyrie Irving. Shooting Guard DeMar DeRozan FD - $6900 DK - $7000Opponent - DALProj Pts FD - 42.37 DK - 42.71 These prices made my jaw drop. One would believe that DeRozan would be about $9,000 with Aldridge missing this game but he's actually...

Point Guard Derrick Rose FD - $4900 DK - $5600Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 30.13 DK - 30.5 The Pistons stink, of that there is no debate. They’ve lost seven of their last eight and it doesn’t stand to get much better here on Tuesday against the Nuggets. But Rose should see somewhere around 27-28 minutes and at his current usage rate, he makes for a fine enough play at least on FanDuel at sub-$5K. He’s taken 15 and 16 shots respectively in the last two games, scoring 15 and 12 with some assists. I do think they scoring stands to tick up just a little, especially considering he’s been brutal from three, going one for his last 12 from beyond the arc. This is mostly a price play at a tougher position. De'Aaron Fox FD - $7800 DK - $7600Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 42.79 DK - 43.07 Fox isn’t the most consistent fantasy option around and had put up a string of some rougher games before turning it around to some degree over the last two. He’s streaky from beyond the arc both in terms of volume and efficiency, which does lead to fluctuations in his scoring numbers. But he gets a great matchup on Tuesday against the Warriors who rank 25th in defensive efficiency this season. We should see 34-35 minutes out of Fox is a closer game (which might be pushing it) and Golden State has been ineffective against opposing point guards, allowing 3% more scoring than league average to the position. I know they got smoked last time out against the Raptors, but if Victor Oladipo sat again then Malcolm Brogdon (FD $6100 DK $7100) would look like a great value on FanDuel at least. Shooting Guard Marcus Smart FD - $5300 DK - $6100Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 32.24 DK - 32.51 Kemba Walker has already been ruled out of Tuesday’s game against the Trailblazers, paving the way for another Marcus Smart start in the backcourt. Smart has played 35 and 36 minutes over the last two games with a 12 point, six rebound, five assist average while getting up double-digit shots...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Monday, 2/24/20

Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $9800 DK - $10500Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 52.99 DK - 55.79 After sitting out on Saturday because of ankle soreness, Doncic has been cleared to play on Monday well in advance of the game. That means we can project him at basically 100% health he should be the big-money play on this slate. He came out of the gate post-All Star Break with a 33 point, 10 rebound, eight assist line against the Magic and now gets a Timberwolves team that’s incredibly compromised on defense after their trade deadline moves. Even with some moderate blowout risk, the floor on Doncic is almost too high to fade on this slate considering some of the cheaper value elsewhere. Kendrick Nunn FD - $4700 DK - $5600Opponent - CLEProj Pts FD - 27.09 DK - 27.69 Jimmy Butler has already been ruled out for Monday, leaving another chance to run out Kendrick Nunn in cash games. Nunn put up a huge line on Saturday against the Cavaliers with 24 points and eight assists in 35 minutes. The Heat will play matchups as much as any team in the league, meaning Butler being out isn’t a 1:1 certainty that Nunn sees all of those minutes, but two of the last three games Butler has sat Kendrick has played 33+ minutes. Considering this is a home-and-home against these very same Cavaliers, setting Nunn in a similar minutes range is perfectly acceptable. I suspect he’s a popular play. With Ben Simmons out for the 76ers, there are some point guard minutes up for grabs. When he sat two games ago, Raul Neto (FD $3500 DK $3800) got the start. But last game, when Simmons went down Shake Milton (FD $4400 DK $3600) early seemed to get the nod. This is a situation to keep an eye out for leading into lock as I’d tend to default to whoever is starting. Shooting Guard Josh Richardson FD - $5100 DK - $4800Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 31.13 DK - 31.12 Alec Burks FD - $4000 DK - $4900Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 35.03 DK - 35.81 The Sixers come...
