Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $10000 DK - $9200 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 53.77 DK - 55.78 I doubted Luka a little bit coming into this season, but I have to say that I'm with LeBron on this one - Luka is a bad mfer. He became the youngest player to ever go 30/10/15 in a game, and it could have been even more if he hadn't been sent to the locker room to get stitches. He's loosely considered questionable in this one, but all signs are that he should be good to go. Luka is the rare case of a guy whose skills could truly be improving this year, which makes sense given how young he is. His bulk stats (points, rebounds, and assists) are all heading in the right direction, and his field goal percentage is going up as well. The price will almost surely be going up in the near future, particularly after this game against the Cavs and their league worst defensive efficiency. Buy now while the price is right. Frank Ntilikina FD - $3800 DK - $3100 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 26.14 DK - 26.26 Of all the players I thought would improve during the world cup this summer, Frank the Tank was pretty low on the list. And alas, here we are. After playing devilish defense all summer long, the Knicks have entrusted him with a starting gig. And while he won't be an on-ball point guard with Rookie of the Year favorite RJ Barrett looming, he still does plenty across the board to justify a near minimum price at 35+ minutes a game. While you can't count on him for 3 steals a game, his defense stats should help him pay value on a night in, night out basis - and going up against a...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Saturday, 11/2/19
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 11/2/19 Welcome to my first article of the NBA season! I'm ecstatic to be back at it with DFSR and we have some great picks for you on this Saturday slate. The Joel Embiid-Karl-Anthony Towns fight has opened up a ton of value on this slate and that's going to be the focus of this article. With that in mind, let's start off with the leading scorer in the NBA.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 Kyrie Irving FD - $10100 DK - $9300Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 51.26 DK - 52.55 It's hard to fade Irving the way he's playing right now and it really doesn't make any sense why he's below $10,000 on DraftKings. Not only is he currently the leading scorer in the NBA, he's also averaging 35.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.5 steals for the season. That makes him one of the Top-5 fantasy producers in the NBA right now and it's no surprise when you see that he's got a 36 percent usage rate while averaging 25 shots per game. Facing Detroit is not worrisome either, as they'll be starting an undersized Tim Frazier at PG against him. Ricky Rubio FD - $6500 DK - $6500Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 33.64 DK - 34.01 Rubio appears to be back to his triple-double ways and I'd argue that he should be $1,000 more on each site. So far this season, Rubio is averaging 11 points, 6.8 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 2.0 steals per game. That's way too much production from a player priced this cheaply and we love him in a matchup like this. Not only does Memphis allow the second-most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season, they also play at the fastest pace in the NBA as well. Also Consider Jamal Murray against an aging D.J. Augustin. Shooting Guard Khris Middleton FD - $7300 DK - $7100Opponent - TORProj Pts FD - 36.89 DK - 38.54 With Giannis Antetokounmpo taking most of the usage in Milwaukee, Middleton is always undervalued. That's just the case here, with Middleton averaging 35.5 DK points per game this season. That's the player we've become accustomed to throughout his Bucks tenure...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Friday, 11/1/19
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Friday, 11/1/19 After a tiny three game main slate on Thursday, the heat cranks back up for Friday! With a seven game slate and plenty of high total games, there should be plenty of options to make some high quality cash game lineups. Let's get to it.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Kemba Walker FD - $8700 DK - $8400Opponent - NYProj Pts FD - 44.92 DK - 46.08 After a slow start as a Celtic, Kemba has come on strong in his last two, averaging a 32/6/5 in spite of losing a considerable mount of his minutes due to a blowout of the Knicks. Well, Walker is running it back against the Knicks here, and the Celtics are 10.5 point favorites at home. The blowout is obviously a concern here, but he looked so dominant in his 30 minutes against their matador back-court that I'm less concerned than I might normally be. The Knicks have unsurprisingly been one of the league's worst defensive teams this season, and Kemba seems like a rock solid cash game inclusion on these prices. Luka Doncic FD - $9800 DK - $9700Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 52.27 DK - 54.52 Luka was barreling his way to a first three games of the season MVP award before a serious disappearing act against the Nuggets, but I think we learned more in the first three games of the season than we did in his last contest. The Nuggets defend well from every position, and while the Lakers have a great defensive efficiency to start the season, I'm not buying them keeping up that pace all season. It's important to remember that we've only played four games of the season so far, and that strength of schedule is a big factor for team based stats. They've faced lousy Grizzlies and Hornets offenses, a Jazz team that's the second lowest scoring team in the West so far, and then they got handled by the Clippers. The 216.5 total here is basically average for the slate, and I'm not scared off the Mavs here. Also considered: Malcolm Brogdon and Russell Westbrook in good match-ups. Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $11200...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Thursday, 10/31/19
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Thursday, 10/31/19 Happy Halloween folks! It's going to be a spooooky set of NBA action we have here. See what I did there? It's only three games on this slate, but it sure looks like there will be some value out there. So let's go trick-or-treating through some plays.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Jamal Murray FD - $7100 DK - $6600Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 36.62 DK - 37.88 The Nuggets are coming off a tough loss to Dallas on Tuesday, but we did get another sense of what their plan is with the starters in close games. For the most part, the usual suspects ran big minutes even on the back-to-back and that’s an encouraging sign from a projection standpoint. Murray got into foul trouble early but still finished with 34 minutes though he struggled from beyond the arc going 0-4 from three. His shooting is down some this season even though the minutes are up. It has his price firmly in the midrange and I do like him as a cash play, especially on DraftKings with the extra .5 for threes. New Orleans is coming in as a near perfect DFS matchup, running a super fast pace with one of the worst defensive efficiencies in the league. Dejounte Murray FD - $6900 DK - $5900Opponent - LACProj Pts FD - 32.22 DK - 31.72 You are going to have to live with the 24-ish minutes considering Murray is still on a minutes restriction after sitting out the entire 18-19 season. That being said, this guy’s per minute numbers are about as good as it gets. He’s averaging 15 points, eight rebounds and six assists in just 23 minutes per game. For anyone, these number are nuts, for a guard they are particularly astounding. This is a tough matchup against the Clippers who will get Kawhi Leonard back on the second half of the back-to-back. Murray’s price is a bit too steep on FanDuel where it’s been a bit overcorrected because of the early season fantasy returns. But I think the DK price is fine enough and Murray has a solid floor because he contributes in every meaningful way. Shooting Guard Jimmy Butler...
