Point Guard Russell Westbrook FD - $9900 DK - $8800Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 56.65 DK - 59.15 Getting traded to the Rockets didn’t do anything to help Westbrook’s efficiency (or lack thereof). The guy is actually moving in the wrong direction when it comes to his shooting, now down to 20% from three on more than four attempts per game. It remains to be seen how long the Houston brass allows that to continue, but for now even sharing a court (to some degree) with Harden has only moderately cut into Russ’s usage. He’s still getting up 17 shots per game and while not averaging a triple-double per game anymore, isn’t too far off. The 21 points, nine rebounds and 7.6 assists do more than get the job done at these prices and he’s a pretty straightforward DraftKings play at minimum. The Pelicans are an awesome matchup for DFS purposes and stacking Westbrook and Harden together here is likely the move. Dejounte Murray FD - $6700 DK - $6000Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 35.61 DK - 34.46 Just when we thought we might see the minutes restriction finally tick up (or go away completely) for Murray after seeing 26 against the Thunder on Friday, he was right back to 24 on Saturday. But few other dudes do more with less run than Dejounte and he’s almost in a per-minute class or his own when it comes to guards. He rebounds the position about the best in the game at eight boards per in only 23 minutes. And he can get to the rim to score and finish. The lack of overall opportunity (court-time wise) is the only thing keeping the price in check and he can hit DraftKings value on that number in his usual run. This is a volume-up game against a Grizzlies team running a top-6 pace and playing the 27th ranked defensive efficiency. Other Thoughts I don’t mind the price on Mike Conley (FD 6800 DK 6200) against a bad and tanking Golden State team but I’m a bit worried about the blowout there....

Point Guard Kyrie Irving FD - $9800 DK - $9700 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 48.65 DK - 49.98 What can you say about what Irving has done so far this season? He's put up career highs in every DFS category except for steals, and has only sacrificed a few percentage points of his field goal percentage in order to do so. It hasn't translated to a ton of real life basketball success just yet, but that's just not my concern as a DFS player. This Phoenix match-up isn't as good as it has been historically, but the Suns are still playing a top 11 PACE, and I think Kyrie will handle Rubio just fine. Damian Lillard FD - $10200 DK - $10100 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 56.72 DK - 58.54 It's an interesting challenge play between Irving and Lillard. These two have been eerily similar this year. Let's have a look. Lillard: 33.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 2.6 turnovers, 1.3 steals, .4 blocks. Irving: 31.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 2.6 turnovers, 1.3 steals, .6 blocks. Lillard has been more efficient, but Irving has chipped in more counting stats. They're equals in every way, so where do we go for a tie-breaker? I'll go with the slight blowout risk in Portland, but honestly I'd be thrilled to play both. Raul Neto FD - $3700 DK - $4500 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 26.38 DK - 26.85 Neto was a chalk option after he drew the start for Simmons against the Nuggets, and mostly delivered, scoring 13 points on 5-6 from the field and chipping in 6 assists as well. The price has crept up a little bit, but it's an all-world match-up with this hapless Hornets team, and I expect cash game players to roll it back with him once against. Keep an eye on how the Trail Blazers handle Rodney Hood's absence. Anfernee Simons played 35 minutes after Hood went down, and he could be one of the better punts on the day as a result.     Shooting Guard RJ Barrett FD - $7200 DK - $6300 Opponent -...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 11/9/19  It's strange to see a five-game Saturday slate but that's just what we have here. We'll write up guys for the all day slate, so keep in mind that the Boston guys aren't playable on the main slate. The guy that everyone is going to key in on is James Harden and rightfully so. He has a stellar matchup against the Bulls and we'll do our best to give you players to build around him. 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 - $10600 DK - $9600Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 54.26 DK - 56.3 You probably already know this but this dude is downright special. For the season, Doncic is averaging 26.7 points, 9.9 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game. He's 20-years-old guys! That's simply amazing from such a young player and it's a scary thought that he's only going to get better. Those statistics put him in play against pretty much everyone but we love this matchup with Memphis. The reason for that is because they rank fifth in pace and 24th in total defense. Playing at that sort of pace is really beneficial for a usage hog like this, with Doncic generating a 31.2 percent usage rate this season.  Chris Paul FD - $7000 DK - $6800Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 35.88 DK - 36.6 Using players against the Warriors is always a good idea and we're actually looking at quite the discounted price for CP3 here. The perennial All-Star is usually in the $9,000-range and it's not like he's been terrible this season either. Paul is still averaging 30.4 DK points per game, despite playing fewer than 30 minutes per outing. We expect that 30-point total to be the floor in a matchup like this, with the Warriors ranked 28th in points allowed and dead-last in defensive rating. That doesn't even take into consideration that Paul has his highest usage rate (26 percent) and his highest point average (22.2 points) against the Warriors than any other team.  Also Consider Terry Rozier. While he's been struggling recently, he should lead the Hornets in usage against a bad New Orleans defense.  Shooting Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $8100 DK -...

Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $10500 DK - $9900Opponent - NYProj Pts FD - 55.25 DK - 59.08 It’s tough to trust on the Mavs in terms of minutes these days, except when it comes to Luka who’s making an early case to be in the MVP race. He’s nearly averaging a triple double with 27 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists on the season. And if anything, the scoring might be a little on the low side considering I thought we’d see some moderate gains in the three-point shooting this season (32%). But he’s been amazing and will now face a Knicks team that doesn’t know if it’s coming or going. Their rotations are all over the place, the team is a mess and the Mavs are -11 home favorites. Doncic is a tough fade on DraftKings at sub-$10K considering the way he’s scoring points across the fantasy line right now. Kyrie Irving FD - $9800 DK - $9700Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 54.66 DK - 56.22 Kyrie’s been nothing shot of masterful in his time with the Nets, putting it all on display in a way we really haven’t seen him sustain at any other point in his career. That’s because Brooklyn, for now, has unleashed Irving to do what he does best: stay on the ball a ton, take a lot of shots and control the pace of the offense. From a fantasy perspective, it’s paying massive dividends considering the dude is averaging close to 32 points per game along with six assists and five rebounds. These are all career highs and in his ninth season we are getting a taste of what happens when a team is truly turned over to this dude. He’ll face a Lillard/ McCollum backcourt that could struggle containing him and I think Irving is about as safe a cash game play as you can get at the point guard position on this slate. Raul Neto FD - $3700 DK - $3400Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 22.78 DK - 22.88 Ben Simmons is going to miss the next three games at least and a team already light on true ballhandlers...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Thursday, 11/7/19   After a huge Wednesday slate with a lot of injury news, Thursday's prime time slate is looking quite a bit more relaxed. There isn't any real blowout risk on this slate, but there aren't a lot of games with huge totals, either, so it looks like it's going to be a pretty straightforward trip to value town. Let's get to it. 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 Ricky Rubio FD - $7000 DK - $6700 Opponent - MIA Proj Pts FD - 32.14 DK - 32.57 Rubio appears to be just what the doctor ordered in Phoenix this season, as the Suns are tearing up a seriously good Western Conference with him as the field general. He's been good for 13/6.5/8.5 so far this season, and is packing a solid floor thanks to his across the board contributions. Miami has been tough defensively this season, but their top 10 pace should make up enough of the difference, particularly when you consider how thin point guard is over all. Patrick Beverley FD - $5300 DK - $4900 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 28.18 DK - 27.87 I don't want to overstate things, but wasn't Patrick Beverley put on Earth specifically for match-ups like this? He can cover every single guy on Portland who is capable of scoring (outside of Whiteside I guess), and his ability to switch all over and cause havoc on the defensive end should mean he gets his standard 32-33 minute rotation here. Again, point guard is very tough on this four game slate, and your options are basically to go cheaper with Beverley or overpay for someone who either doesn't consistently hit value on their current price or someone in a tough match-up. I think Beverley is a pretty high floor way to sneak away from a tough position. Also considered: Damian Lillard, though I'm not sure point guard is where you want to be spending up.   Shooting Guard Jimmy Butler FD - $9300 DK - $7200 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 41.54 DK - 39.45 Okay, so I realized as I was picking players for shooting guard that it's pretty likely that every position is...
