FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 4/3/22 We're down to just one week in the regular season. This is always one of the most chaotic times to play DFS, with bad teams tanking and good teams resting their best players. We have a ton of that going on here, with 12 games in total. That means we have a massive player pool to break down, but it also means we have a ton of value as well. With that in mind, let's kick things off with some point guards.

Point Guard Dejounte Murray FD - $10300 DK - $11200 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 0 DK - 0 Tre Jones FD - $3700 DK - $4200 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 25.54 DK - 25.45 We absolutely love Dejonute if he can return here, but Jones would be a brilliant fill-in if he can't. Let's start by talking about Murray, with the All-Star averaging 21.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and 2.0 steals per game. That's led to Dejonute scoring at least 38 DraftKings points in 18 of his last 19 games. He's also averaging nearly 55 fantasy points per game in that span, making him a worthy option no matter the salary. Tre hasn't been quite as good, but he's been awesome when filling in. In fact, Jones has at least 27 DK points in six of his seven starts for Dejounte, posting a 32-point average in that span. That's ridiculous from a $4K player, and we love whoever starts at PG for this speedy San Antonio team. The matchup with Portland is the best part of this, though, with the Trail Blazers ranked 28th in points allowed and dead-last in defensive efficiency. Chris Paul FD - $8000 DK - $8200 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 42.2 DK - 43.3 Phoenix is choosing to rest some players here, but CP3 is not one of them. The Point God obviously wants to get some extra minutes with all the time he missed because of a hand issue, and it's going to have him running the offense here. The Suns have ruled out Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton, and Jae Crowder, leaving CP3 with the offense in...

Point Guard / Shooting Guard Trae Young FD - $9900 DK - $10600Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 54.89 DK - 59.43 This is a pretty high leverage game in the standings for the Eastern Conference playoffs and play-in situation. Both of these teams have the exact same record and though the Nets own the season series, they’d like to distance themselves from Atlanta if possible here. It should still be a close one though and we know the Hawks will run Trae huge minutes down the stretch. He’s scored 30 or more points in three of his last five games with 15+ assists in two of those. The Nets’ defense has been suspect at times this season and the pace should be there. This game’s 241 total is 10 points higher than the next closest game on the day. Kyrie Irving FD - $9200 DK - $10300Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 51.01 DK - 54.51 It’s probably going to make sense to stack as much of this Brooklyn Nets - Atlanta Hawks game as possible considering the total and the context around each team. The Nets are now going to be without Goran Dragic and Bruce Brown for this one who are both out with illness and Seth Curry remains somewhat limited. That could mean minutes in the 40s for Kyrie who the team will need in every way imaginable. The price on FanDuel is such that I think you are getting him somewhat at a bargain if the scoring upside could really be there in the matchup. James Harden FD - $10100 DK - $10000Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 51.14 DK - 55.81 Looking at the all-day aspect of NBA’s action on Saturday, the 76ers are in a great spot against the Hornets. Charlotte plays the third-fastest pace in the league this season with a defense that’s decidedly below average. That’s a great place to be for opposing offenses and Philly is still fighting for home-court advantage at least through the first round of the playoffs. The 76ers have lost three straight and Doc Rivers started to throw Harden under the bus after last game. We’ll...

Point Guard / Shooting Guard Dejounte Murray FD - $10800 DK - $11400Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 54.75 DK - 57.67 The Spurs find themselves in the craziest spot right now. Because the Lakers have been horrific, San Antonio now is in the 10th seed, currently in the play-in game if the season ended today. By the looks of things, they are going to try to make it. Murray has played 38 or more minutes in each of the last three games, a clear indication that Pop and company are going to try to make this happen. And on a per minute basis, this is one of the best fantasy performers we have going this season. He’s nearly averaging a triple-double on the season with 21 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 8.4 assists while also piling on steals at times. Oh, and they play the Blazers who are basically the worst team in the NBA right now. De'Anthony Melton FD - $5600 DK - $5200Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 32.62 DK - 34.62 The Grizzlies are sitting Tyus Jones, Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Steven Adams in this game meaning there will be quite a bit of opportunity from some others in the lineup. It could also mean they get completely blown out by Phoenix, though the latter is currently just -7.5 road favorites against Memphis. Melton should grab the start here at point guard and has shown he can pile up stats even in limited run. Over the last six games, playing an average of just 23 minutes, Melton is averaging 20 points and five rebounds. If we push the run to even around 30 he’s a cash game play even at middle-tier pricing. Théo Maledon FD - $6400 DK - $6800Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 34.96 DK - 37.65 With the Thunder completely in the tank, they are sitting nearly anyone with the real NBA chops, and it’s hit the backcourt particularly hard. But from a fantasy perspective, we can definitely still live with some of these plays. Maledon for instance has been good in the short term since taking over in the starting role four games ago....

Guards Darius Garland FD - $9300 DK - $10100 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 45.41 DK - 50.28 Caris LeVert FD - $5200 DK - $5800 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 34.15 DK - 36.74 Despite the Hawks and Cavs being the only two teams playing on a back-to-back tonight, I have heavy interest in this game for fantasy as both have ranked outside the Top 20 in defensive efficiency since the All-Star break. I will start with Cleveland and their breakout star in Darius Garland who has been very consistent down the stretch averaging 24.9 points and 11.4 assists and over 50 fantasy points per game in March. He also gets a plus individual matchup here are Trae Young is a well below-average defender. For Levert, he is back on the fantasy radar as he stepped back into the starting lineup last Saturday and has been efficient. In three starts, he has put up at least 14 shots in each game and contributed in both the rebounds and assists categories and most of all has totaled 28 or more DK points in each of those games. Provided he is back in the starting lineup again tonight, he is on my radar in all formats. Russell Westbrook FD - $8000 DK - $8600 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 44.05 DK - 48.32 Malik Monk FD - $5800 DK - $5500 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 28.48 DK - 31.22 While this may seem a little insane as the Lakers are 12.5 point dogs tonight, it is hard to ignore the value with both Lebron and Davis out of the lineup. Let's start with Westbrook who has actually provided a consistent fantasy return down the stretch, pretty or not. Over his last six games(five on the road), he has put up 21.8 points on 52.5% shooting and added over eight rebounds and assists per game which ends up as an average of 43 FD/46.8 DK points per game. As for Monk, he has been in and out of the starting lineup but has been solid in the short-term putting up 16 or more shots in three...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 3/30/22 This is my favorite time to play NBA DFS. There are numerous teams tanking and tons of strange rotations, but it caters beautifully to people who actually pay attention. We know that includes our readers because you guys are some of the best players in the industry. It's been one of my best weeks of the year, too, and I'm excited to keep that rolling here!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Trae Young FD - $10000 DK - $11000 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 54.62 DK - 59.11 Trae has quietly had a fantastic season in Atlanta, and he's going to have to do even more with John Collins and De'Andre Hunter expected to miss this game. He already had a usage rate north of 30 percent before that, and he's regularly taking 20 shots and 10 free throws a night. That's led to Trae scoring at least 27 fantasy points in every game this season, cracking 37 or more DK points in all but five outings. That's scary since he's got a 52-point average over his last 10 games, playing some of the best basketball of his career. We certainly don't anticipate Oklahoma City to slow him down, and we'll mention how bad their roster looks in the subsequent SG write-ups. Tyus Jones FD - $5800 DK - $5700 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 33.53 DK - 33.67 It's sad that Ja Morant is sidelined, but Tyus has been terrific when filling in for him this season. In his 20 starts for Morant, Jones is averaging 29 DK points per game across 30 minutes a night. He's been doing that damage despite the Grizzlies blowing teams out on a nightly basis, making him a good bet for 35-40 DK points if they finally have a game that stays close. We love that since San Antonio is playing really well right now, but they're really struggling on the defensive end. In fact, the Spurs sit third in pace and 24th in total defense while surrendering the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing PGs. Brandon Williams is the only player left in Portland and should be a silly season darling from here on...
