Guards Brandon Ingram FD - $8200 DK - $8700 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 42.59 DK - 43.58 I will preface by saying that our system is all over Luka tonight and while I agree with the projection, his price makes it very hard to fit on a smaller four-game slate with a lack of value. At this time, I am looking at a more balanced build and it starts with Brandon Ingram who has been very consistent this season. Remove the game where he left early with an injury and he has played at least 31 minutes in all five games and has gotten a ton of usage averaging 19.4 shots per game in that time. The high floor comes with his contribution in almost every category as he is averaging 25.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 2.0 blocks+steals, and 44.7 DraftKings points per game. The Trail Blazers are 10th in defensive efficiency but have been leaky to guards ranking 26th in fantasy points against. I will have exposure in all formats. Dennis Smith Jr. FD - $6600 DK - $6100 Opponent - MIA Proj Pts FD - 29.34 DK - 30.24 De'Anthony Melton FD - $5600 DK - $6000 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 33.3 DK - 34.34 I group these two together as they have very similar situations on Thursday. Both have teammates(Ball, Hayward, Harden) out of the lineup creating an opportunity for others to thrive in their absence. Both also have other teammates who likely get the biggest bump in usage(Rozier, Maxey) but come at a much higher cost so on this smaller slate I settle here. Let's start with Dennis Smith who outside the game he got hurt early on, has provided a consistent floor for fantasy as a starter averaging 10.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 2.9 steals+blocks for an average just over 32 fantasy points across nine games. The Hornets are big dogs in this one but there should be another 12-18 shots for Smith and the Heat do struggle most against guards ranking 24th in fantasy points allowed to the position. For Melton, he has been getting starts with James Harden out and has seen mixed results. He dropped a huge 39-point fantasy game against the Knicks but was held to 24 fantasy points in a low-scoring loss...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 11/9/22 This is the weirdest week of NBA DFS that I've ever seen. We had every team in action on Monday, and no one playing yesterday. The NBA took the day off so people could vote, but it's leaving us with another full card here. That means the player pool is massive once again, and we have hundreds of players to pick from. There have been a ton of injuries over recent weeks, though, and that'll surely be a major theme in this article.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $11800 DK - $12500 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 63.9 DK - 66.84 I'm not so sure it's possible to fade Doncic right now. This is the best player in fantasy, scoring at least 56 DraftKings points in every game this season. To put that in perspective, only one other player has an average higher than Luka's floor! It's no surprise when you see Doncic's league-leading usage, falling just shy of a 40 percent usage rate. That led to his absurd 66-point average, making Doncic the safest play on every slate. We're certainly not worried about a matchup with the Magic, owing a 24th OPRK against opposing point guards. They have nobody to cover Luka, and we fully anticipate him flirting with another 30-point triple-double. Fred VanVleet FD - $8500 DK - $8100 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 41.27 DK - 41.27 VanVleet is my favorite play of the day. The reason we love him is this expanded role. Toronto just lost Pascal Siakam to a groin injury, and it should force FVV into a monster role. He had a usage rate just shy of 35 percent with Sia off the floor last season, averaging 1.4 DK points per minute in those circumstances. He's shown that this year, posting a 52-point average in the two games since Sia went down. The simple fact is, FVV is going to play 40 minutes, take 15-20 shots and handle the ball on every possession. That makes him especially enticing against Houston, surrendering the second-most fantasy points to opposing PGs this season. Russell Westbrook (FD $7500 DK $7300) has at least 35 DK...

Guards Terry Rozier FD - $7900 DK - $7700 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 39.29 DK - 40.11 The injury bug has hit the Hornets in a big way to start the season but they did get Terry Rozier back on Saturday and he stepped right back into a major role. He played 36 minutes, took 24 shots and while he shot just 37.5% from the field, he did drain six 3's and put up 39 DK/33 FD points. He should get heavy usage once again on Monday and gets a plus matchup against the Wizards who rank 24th in defensive efficiency and 29th in fantasy points against guards. At a sub $8K price tag, I will have exposure in all formats. CJ McCollum FD - $8200 DK - $8500 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 37.54 DK - 38.34 Speaking of good matchups, the Pelicans who have arguably the best one on the board Monday and that is good news as McCollum's price is now comfortably sitting in the mid $8k range on both sites. I am not concerned as this game has a very high 235.5 total as the Pels as head into Indy to face the Pacers who are 5th in pace, 26th in defensive efficiency, and have allowed the most fantasy points to guards. McCollum has also been very consistent lately averaging  23.7 points, nine rebounds, and 4.3 assists over his last three games while posting 40+ fantasy points in each. All things considered, he is a player that will be in my player pool in all formats. Tyrese Maxey FD - $8000 DK - $7800 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 41.24 DK - 42.72 De'Anthony Melton FD - $5600 DK - $5300 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 35.81 DK - 35.21 This pairing might not have as good of a matchup of the guys mentioned above but the value is still there and it comes down to added opportunities with James Harden out. In his first game out, Maxey took on a huge role taking 29 shots and while he only shot 34% from the field, he dropped 31 points and added seven assists for 44 FD/47 DK points. You have to think the shooting will regress back towards the mean and we know the usage is going to...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 11/6/22 If you played DFS over the weekend, you probably had a headache at some point. That Friday card was one of the craziest things I've ever seen, with dozens of big-name players getting ruled out. It feels like that's the way the NBA is headed, and following the news will put you way ahead of the field. The good news is that we have no team playing a B2B, which should limit some absences. We also have just three games making up this tiny Sunday card, but there's still plenty to discuss!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Ja Morant FD - $9900 DK - $10100 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 49.34 DK - 51.24 Ja just had his worst game of the season, but we need to look at the game script. Memphis was up by 40 points in the second half in that win over Charlotte, limiting Morant to a season-low in minutes. He still provided his elite per-minute averages, dropping 33 DK points across 24 minutes. That brings him to an average of 47 DraftKings points across 31 minutes a game. That's the highest total among all the healthy players, making Morant impossible to fade on a three-game slate. He's simply doing everything for this Grizzlies offense with Jaren Jackson Jr out, and we certainly don't expect him to struggle against a 25th-ranked Washington defense from last year. Reggie Jackson FD - $4700 DK - $5300 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 22.87 DK - 23.91 I might be an idiot for riding Reggie, but he will eventually have some ceiling games at a diminished price tag. R-Jax was well above $6K in a similar role last season, and this offense needs him to do more in the absence of Kawhi Leonard. The usage is still there for him to be a stud, with Jackson averaging 13 shots and 32.3 minutes over the last six outings. That's the same role we saw when he was $1,000 more last year, and it's just a matter of time before the shots start falling. He averaged 29 DraftKings points across 31 minutes a night last year, and a total like that would be impressive from such...

Plus our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Guards CJ McCollum FD - $8100 DK - $8600 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 35.5 DK - 36.32 The price is at a season-high but it is certainly warranted as the usage has ticked up since the start of the season as he has taken 19 or more shots in five straight coming into tonight. He has also averaged 42 fantasy points in that time and their is room for growth on that, as well, with the shooting(39%) down from what we normally get from him. What I really like here is the matchup as it's a pace-up game for the Pels as the Hawks are 8th in pace and also rank 19th in overall defensive efficiency. All things considered, McCollum is a terrific play in all formats. Jamal Murray FD - $5800 DK - $6200 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 29.02 DK - 30.3 Murray checks almost every box tonight starting with an elite matchup. He and the Nuggets face a Spurs team playing on a back-to-back, ranks 26th in defensive efficiency, 21st in fantasy points against guards, and runs a league-high pace. It also helps that Murray is currently playing his best basketball of the season playing 30+ minutes in back-to-back games with 19 and 21 shots 20+ points in each along with 34 fantasy points in each of those games. This is a great spot and the price is still down from the start of the season which has me loading up in all formats. Dennis Smith Jr. FD - $7000 DK - $6600 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 34.38 DK - 33.21 Assuming the Hornets are still without LaMello Ball and Terry Rozier on Saturday I will continue to run Dennis Smith out there in all formats. He has been playing well as a starter averaging 12.3 points, 7.2 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.6 steals+blocks per game across six starts and despite a dud against the Magic is averaging 34 fantasy points, as well. He also gets a top matchup against a Nets team in shambles with Kyrie suspended and ranking dead last in defensive efficiency to start the year. Stay tuned for news as Smith becomes a top PTS/$ guard if Ball and Rozier remain out. Small Forward Kevin Durant FD - $10600 DK - $10600 Opponent - CHA Proj...
