Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Tyrese Maxey FD - $8200 DK - $6500Opponent - NYProj Pts FD - 39.9 DK - 43.22 De'Anthony Melton FD - $6000 DK - $4400Opponent - NYProj Pts FD - 37.34 DK - 38.23 James Harden is set to miss at least the next month and that’s going to obviously open up a ton of different stuff for the 76ers when it comes to the fantasy department. With Joel Embiid also unlikely to see full run here as he comes back from injury too, we could see massive minutes for both Tyrese Maxey and De’Anthony Melton and huge usage for Maxey in particular. Maxey played 43 minutes last time out against the Wizards and took 20 shots. That was with Harden around. With the latter off the court the shots should be in the mid-20s against the Knicks and his price is a total joke on DraftKings in particular. Meanwhile, Melton’s fantasy performance has been a bit more variable, but the minutes should be there. Plus, he’s shown the ability to contribute across the stat line throughout his career and that’s carried over to the 76ers. His FanDuel price has come up to the point that it’s at least a question, but I do think he sees enough minutes to make it worth it. The DraftKings price, like we said with Maxey, is a total joke. Kyle Lowry FD - $6500 DK - $6300Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 34.21 DK - 37.06 The Heat are going to be without Jimmy Butler again for this game and will get one of the best DFS matchups around against the Pacers. Indianapolis runs the fourth-fastest pace and has the worst defensive efficiency in the league. It doesn’t get much better than that. Lowry is playing major minutes for Miami, having 37 or more in each of the last three games. Without Butler last game, he took his season-high shots with 24 and finished with 22 points, seven assists, and five rebounds. The price hasn’t come up enough on either site and he’s an easy value on this slate. Strongly consider Max Strus...

Guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $10800 DK - $9700 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 49.46 DK - 48.89 This feels like an impossible slate with just two games and three elite, high-priced players we are going to want in our lineups. Two of them come at the guard position and I am currently leaning towards SGA over Steph due to the matchup as the Thunder face a Nuggets team that ranks 26th in defensive efficiency and have allowed the 6th most fantasy points to guards. Gilgeous-Alexander has been incredibly consistent all season averaging 31.5 points, 6.8 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 54 fantasy points per game. I really hope some value opens up on this slate so we are able to jam in multiple studs but if ew can fit just one, SGA is right at the top of the list, at least on DraftKings. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope FD - $5400 DK - $5000 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 24.06 DK - 24.57 After the top guys, we are going to be looking for some value and KCP is one that is on my list. While he is down the list in terms of usage in the offense, he has been consistent for fantasy this season and rarely blows up our lineup, at least in cash games. It's the secondary categories where his value resides as he is averaging 4.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.2 steals per game and comes in with 23 or more fantasy points in four of his last five with a ceiling around 30-32 fantasy points. The price is a little better on DraftKings but he is in consideration on both sites tonight. R.J. Hampton FD - $4600 DK - $4900 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 11.94 DK - 11.99 This pick is very speculative at this point and one we will have to monitor as lineup lock approaches. The Magic have been short-handed at guard all season with Markelle Fultz and Gary Harris yet to play a game, Cole Anthony with no timetable to return after an oblique injury and now Terrance Ross is questionable after sustaining a knee contusion last game. If Ross is out, there is a chance Hampton could get a start or at least see an increased role and was decent down the stretch making 13 starts averaging...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 11/2/22 This scheduling by the NBA has been maddening. We had just four games yesterday and two games tomorrow. That means we're looking at one of the largest slates of the season here, with all but a handful of teams taking the floor. That means we have a massive player pool to choose from, which can complicate things from a DFS perspective. It does lead to a ton of value, though, and we have some great plays to ride for this Wednesday card!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Jrue Holiday FD - $8300 DK - $8200Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 43.23 DK - 45.36 Everyone assumes that Giannis Antetokounmpo takes over when Khris Middleton (wrist) is out, but Holiday does some serious damage too. The elite two-way player sees his usage, minutes, and shot attempts increase without Middleton, combining for 119 DraftKings points over the last two games. He actually averaged over 40 fantasy points per game when Khris was out last year, and we love that he's playing 37 minutes a night in that span too. One of those masterpieces came against this disastrous Detroit defense, with Jrue dropping 53 fantasy points on Monday. That's no surprise since the Pistons have the worst defensive rating in the NBA. Anfernee Simons FD - $7800 DK - $7600Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 38.87 DK - 43.24 Simons was the beneficiary of the C.J. McCollum trade, and he looks like an All-Str whenever Damian Lillard is out of the lineup. That's forced Simons into the starting point guard job, posting a 33 percent usage rate when Dame is off the floor. This expanded role led to one of the best games of his career last weekend, amassing 53 DraftKings points on Friday. It's no surprise since he's expected to play 35-40 minutes and take 15-20 shots, which is massive for a sharpshooter like this. Memphis is a marvelous matchup, too, with the Griz ranked 29th in points allowed this season. Shooting Guard Paul George FD - $9000 DK - $9800Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 45.33 DK - 48.4 It's been a struggle for the Clippers this season, and PG13 certainly hasn't helped. He knew that...

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Devin Booker, and Magic Bigs Top the DraftKings and FanDuel NBA Picks - Tuesday, November 1st Head on over for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, NFL optimal lineups, and our NHL Optimizer.

Point Guard Chris Paul FD - $7400 DK - $7700Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 37 DK - 39.28 The Suns aren’t having to push Paul’s minutes all that much this season because they are beating teams, once again, with relative ease. And along with that, CP3 isn’t taking all that many shots either, averaging just 8.7 field goal attempts through his first six games. I do think we see that increase, but he’s definitely deferring to Devin Booker and the rest of the crew in that respect. But he’s not all that expensive and should play enough minutes to hit value against the Timberwolves. Kyle Lowry FD - $6500 DK - $6100Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 30.93 DK - 33.81 Lowry is another one averaging few than double-digit shot attempts per game, but the price is relative to his performance right now and I think we are getting value with him against the Warriors. He put up 37 FanDuel points in 33 minutes the last time the Heat played Golden State, a 123-110 loss for Miami. Even on limited attempts, Lowry is still scoring 12.4 points per game and contributing, albeit not all that robustly, across the rest of the box score. You aren’t paying through the nose for him here so I think he warrants cash game consideration. Shooting Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $10800 DK - $9400Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 51.3 DK - 53.26 It’s tough to trust anyone on the Oklahoma City Thunder except for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The young star is about the only guy they will run for major minutes and he does just about everything for this team. He’s averaging one of the best lines around with 31 points, seven assists, five rebounds, and 3.6 blocks+steals. That’s pretty sick and the only thing that could really slow him down at this point would be the Thunder just getting all the way into the tank and limiting his run. That is a distinct possibility, but for the time being we need to trust that they are going to play him max minutes. Devin Booker FD - $8900...

Guards Dennis Smith Jr. FD - $6800 DK - $6000 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 33.33 DK - 32.06 With LaMello Ball out and both Terry Rozier and Cody Martin doubtful again on Monday, we are very high on Dennis Smith Jr. once again. He will be making his fifth straight start and after a dud against the Magic, he bounced back with his third 35+ fantasy point performance in four games. He and the Hornets also get a plus matchup on Monday against the Kings who rank 24th in defensive efficiency and seventh in pace. The price is adjusting a lot faster on FanDuel making it a lot closer but on DraftKings, he is a near lock in all formats. Tyrese Haliburton FD - $8700 DK - $8500 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 40.46 DK - 41.45 Speaking of plus matchups, we have been targeting the Nets all season as they have allowed 125 or more points in four of six games and come into Monday ranked dead last in defensive efficiency. They now face a Pacers team that has been much better than advertised before the season ranking 6th in offensive efficiency and pace. They have been led by Tyrese Haliburton who is off to a red-hot start averaging a double-double on 23.4 points and 10 assists per game while commanding an elite 33.4% usage rate. The price is going up slowly but considering he has provided a 41 point floor and nearly 60-point ceiling, I will have exposure in all formats. Tyus Jones FD - $6100 DK - $6000 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 31.09 DK - 33.8 Desmond Bane FD - $7900 DK - $7900 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 42.21 DK - 43.99 We are eagerly awaiting news from the Grizzlies on Monday as Ja Morant missing a second straight game would lead to some excellent PTS/$ value throughout the lineup once again. Tyus Jones got the start at point guard on Saturday and looked good dropping a double-double on 23 points and 10 assists putting up 45 fantasy points. The price took a huge jump up after that performance so the news with Morant is most critical here. Bane is the most expensive of the bunch after Morant and someone I am considering whether Morant plays or...
