DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings Plays for Thursday 1/2/20 The guys are breaking down an atypically big Thursday slate of action on their DFS NBA Podcast for FanDuel and DraftKings.

We have an oddly large 9 game slate of NBA games tonight, and the DFSR team is here to break down every single game on the slate. Tonight is an odd one, because it blends a sea of great cheap options (mostly from the Minnesota-Golden State game) with very few big money plays to go with them. As a result, Luka Doncic is a heavy favorite to be nearly unanimously owned. After the obvious plays from Minnesota and Golden State, though, things do get a bit more difficult. How much can we trust the minutes from the Clippers/Pistons game, where the Clippers are favored by 12? Andre Drummond has played 36+ minutes in back to back games where the Pistons got blown out, but is that really sustainable? Going the other way, Paul George, Lou Williams, and Kawhi Leonard are great plays if they can get their full rotation of minutes, but how likely is that? All in all, it promises to be a weird one. Make sure to join Doug and James to hear their...

Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $10800 DK - $12000 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 58.31 DK - 62.69 I've been on the wrong side of Luka chalk before, my friends, and let me tell you: it's not a place you want to be. The most exciting 20 year old ever continued his sophmore tour de force against the Thunder, compiling a 35/10/7 line over the course of 40 minutes. Last week he dropped 70 fantasy points against the Warriors in 30 minutes. Tonight he'll go up against the Nets, who have allowed the 4th most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season. We're not even worried about blowout risk here, as if the Mavs manage to blow other teams out it's almost always because of Luka himself. The $10,800 salary is just a joke, and Luka is very likely the big money payoff you're looking for here. Shabazz Napier FD - $5000 DK - $5900 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 34.05 DK - 34.37 With Teague currently listed as doubtful, we could be looking at another night of incredible chalk for Shabazz Napier. He was a 90%+ start in cash games last night, and had paid these prices by halftime. If Teague returns for some reason you likely won't want to play him, but given that this match-up is like 10x better than the Bucks spot last night he could be nearly unanimously owned in this one. Also considered: Kyle Lowry, who is looking rock solid on a $7,800 price tag on FanDuel. Shooting Guard Buddy Hield FD - $6200 DK - $6700 Opponent - MEM Proj Pts FD - 33.54 DK - 35.66 On a larger slate I'd like to be getting away with something, but the outrageous floor on Hield seems like it's worth talking about. His rotation and usage are among the most secure in the entire game, as evidenced by his last game against the Clippers, where the Kings lost by 18 but Hield still played 36 minutes and got 17 shots in the air. He paid value against one of the toughest defenses in the league, and now he'll get...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 1/1/20 Welcome to 2020 everyone! I can’t imagine this year could be any better than the year before, but we’ll give it a shot.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Elfrid Payton FD - $5900 DK - $6100Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 33.45 DK - 33.29 It’s been a weird (terrible) season for the Knicks all around, but they do at least seem to be committed to Payton as the point guard answer in the short term. The Dennis Smith and Frank Ntilikina relative experiments have been put by the wayside for the time being. Payton’s posted more than 27 minutes in each of the last four games with an average of seven points, 8.5 assists, and six assists with some steals and blocks thrown in there. None of the individual categories standout but as the sum of his fantasy parts, he’s a good play if he maintains the minutes. I think that’s the plan at least in the short term with the Knicks on an unheard of two-game win streak. Markelle Fultz FD - $5300 DK - $5100Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 27.75 DK - 27.68 Look, I know the fantasy results have been, well, lacking over the last two games with Fultz scoring only three and four points respectively and not contributing a whole of a lot over the rest of the box score. But then there’s the part where he played 31 and 30 minutes in each and you have to wonder when the stat line catches up with that kind of opportunity. I tend to think those last two games were outliers in what we can expect from him with this kind of run. He isn’t a fantasy dynamo, but this is too good spot to pass up. Washington has, by far, the worst defensive efficiency in the league and play at a super fast pace. This is the perfect spot to run this guy out in cash. Shooting Guard Evan Fournier FD - $5900 DK - $6200Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 36.65 DK - 38.25 Aaron Gordon is listed as questionable for this game, but judging by...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday, 12/31/19 It's the last NBA slate of the year. We've got seven games on the schedule and my oh my is it shaping up to be a tricky one. For starters, Jaylen Brown and D'Angelo Russell are out while Luka Doncic, James Harden, and Danilo Gallinari are all holding a questionable tag. In spite of the uncertainties, our NBA projection system is hard at work spitting out the top plays of the day. The action tips off at 3 PM eastern time, so let's get to it.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Kyle Lowry FD - $7800 DK - $8800 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 51.02 DK - 54.67 We'll be tapping into the Toronto well several times today as they draw the best matchup of the day against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs have the third-worst overall defense from a fantasy perspective, and are ranked in the bottom five in assists, steals, and blocks allowed. They're particularly generous to opposing point guards, which is why we love Kyle Lowry tonight. Lowry has seen no fewer than 35 minutes in every game the champs have played this month, and averaged 40.2 Fanduel points per game. The Fanduel price is inexplicably on the decline, which makes him almost a must have there, but even approaching $9K on DraftKings, given the available options on this slate and the matchup, Lowry is a top play in cash games across the industry. Kemba Walker FD - $7500 DK - $7400 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 41.03 DK - 42.73 In four games since the Pistons managed to hold him to just two points, Kemba Walker has been shooting lights out for the Celtics most recently dropping 30 against the Raptors on Saturday. For a player so reliant on making baskets, that's exactly what we want to see from Walker, and I'm looking for the shots to continue falling today in Charlotte. The Hornets aren't the most ideal matchup but Walker stands to benefit from a usage bump with Jaylen Brown ruled out due to illness. If we remove that game against the Pistons from the equation, Walker is averaging 26.2 points per game this month...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Monday, 12/30/19 Welcome friends to Monday night in the NBA. We've got a six-game slate on the agenda for the evening, and some pretty big question marks hangin' in the wind in the form of Giannis, Towns, Wiggins, and Beal. Join Jerry as he breaks down the top plays for our daily fantasy lineups according to our NBA daily fantasy projection system.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Kendrick Nunn FD - $4500 DK - $5100 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 25.05 DK - 25.75 Let's start with the good news; point guard is the only position with no question marks this evening. Young and Kyrie both remain out, leaving Damian Lillard as the only big money option at the position, however, there's plenty of value to be had out there. First up, we have Kendrick Nunn. Nunn has been relatively quiet since torching the Sixers earlier in the month, but his price has come down in the short term and he's still good for 5X PPD (points per dollar) regularly. Tonight he draws a Washington team that is average defending against the point while playing the second-fastest pace in the NBA. As long as the minutes are there, Nunn should be in for a solid night of production at a position with little to desire. Spencer Dinwiddie FD - $8000 DK - $7700 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 41.99 DK - 43.44 The Spencer Dinwiddie star seems like it may be starting to fizzle out. After what can be marked a solid month, Dinwiddie is ending December with a whisper, scoring just 17 points in 33 minutes against the Rockets on Saturday. The 11 assists were the saving grace for fantasy purposes, but he still failed to deliver 4X PPD. I'm looking for a nice bounce-back tonight, however, against a Timberwolves team ranked bottom ten defending against opposing point guards, while allowing the second-most scoring to the position. Bonus if Minnesota is without KAT and Andrew Wiggins. Speaking of Andrew Wiggins, consider Jeff Teague if Wiggins sits again, but keep in mind he didn't exactly play a ton on Saturday. I mentioned Damian Lillard earlier, if we're forced to run value at...
