Point Guard / Shooting Guard Luka Doncic FD - $10500 DK - $11400Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 56.39 DK - 61.88 The Mavericks are big, -12 home favorites against the Lakers on Tuesday, and for good reason. They will be facing a Los Angeles team without Lebron James and Anthony Davis and should coast to a pretty easy win. But we should still play Luka in cash here without hesitation. Even for a four-seed, Dallas is still fighting to stay out of the play-in game and this win could almost seal it they will stick in the top six. Luka is Luka, averaging 30 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists over the last month, and will now face a Lakers team ranked 21st on defense and allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to opponents over the last two months. Cade Cunningham FD - $7700 DK - $8800Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 39.62 DK - 43.18 Jerami Grant is going to sit the rest of the season and this is now fully Cade’s team for the remainder. The rookie has played 35 or more minutes in 10 of the last 12 games and in that stretch has averaged 22 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists while also getting to two blocks+steals. He’s just becoming an elite fantasy performer, well in line with expectation considering the pedigree. He’s a little expensive on DraftKings, but not on FanDuel where he’s still coming under $8K. There is definitely blowout concern here against Brooklyn who is -13.5 home favorites and desperately needing a win. But I think we can take the risk on Cade here because there is, for sure, upside. Russell Westbrook FD - $8100 DK - $8800Opponent - DALProj Pts FD - 40.58 DK - 45.46 Well, the Lakers are officially a mess. Lebron James is doubtful with an ankle injury, Anthony Davis still isn’t back and now they sit only a half-game out of the 11th seed thanks to a Spurs win over the Rockets on Monday. They are in real danger of being fully out of the playoff picture. And now they come in as huge underdogs to the Mavericks. But this game,...

Guards Trae Young FD - $10100 DK - $10800 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 48.69 DK - 54.02 Dejounte Murray FD - $10000 DK - $11000 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 53.73 DK - 55.85 We get a big slate on Monday and a huge selection of guards at all price points. Let's start with the top pay-up options and I group these two together as I don't necessarily think you have to choose one or the other and can stack them together as they both face defenses that rank in the bottom five overall. Let's start with Trae who presents more safety as he absolutely dominates the usage for the Hawks with the fourth-highest rate(34.4%) in the league and 15% higher than any other Hawks projected starter tonight. Going back to the start of February, he has topped 50 DK points in 13 of 23 games and averaged a whopping 55.5 during that time on 19.9 shots, 31.7 points, and 10.6 assists per game. While Murray isn't quite there in the same range of usage(27.2%) as Trae, he has actually been slightly better in terms of fantasy points per minute(1.48 to 1.4). It comes down to his contributions across the board as he is averaging 23.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 8.7 assists, and 2.1 steals per game going back to the start of February(20 games). Both players check every single box with elite matchups, projected close/high scoring games, and both are elite plays in all formats. Jordan Poole FD - $7800 DK - $8100 Opponent - MEM Proj Pts FD - 37.06 DK - 40.78 The price has been on the rise and the Warriors face the #2 overall defense tonight but we are definitely going to want some exposure to the Warriors who are sitting practically everyone. The other reason it will be hard to ignore Poole is the fact he has provided a very solid floor while starting each of the last eight games and it starts with usage as he has averaged 19.8 shots per game in that time while putting up 26.1 points per game. With the somewhat capped upside due to price and matchup,...
DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Sunday, 3/27/22
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 3/27/22 There are only two weeks left in the regular season! It's been an amazing year, and this is actually one of my favorite times to play. There's so much resting and strange things going on in these rotations, that paying attention is a significant advantage. That might sound like a simple recipe but understanding how these rotations will play out at this time of the year puts you way ahead of the field. We feel like we have a better read on that than most, so let's get started with two of the best PGs in our sport!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Kyrie Irving FD - $10800 DK - $10500 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 48.24 DK - 49.08 Kyrie has been in the news for all the wrong reasons at times this season, but we need to discuss how absurd this guy is on the basketball court. That's why he has all this notoriety, and it's honestly a spectacle to watch this dude work. Over his last nine games played, Irving is averaging 35.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game. That equates to 57 DraftKings points per game, one of the highest totals in the NBA. That's scary since he will be extra motivated here, playing his first home game with the silly mandate being lifted. Not to mention, he faces a Charlotte team that ranks third in pace and 28th in total defense. Chris Paul FD - $6600 DK - $7200 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 35.79 DK - 35.54 It's strange to see CP3 this cheap. We're talking about one of the greatest point guards of all time amid one of the best seasons of his career. The price drop is clearly due to his return from injury but playing 30 minutes in his return to action tells us that he's essentially ready for a full workload. He finished with 46 DK points in that return, which is impressive since he had at least 36 fantasy points in 15 of 16 games before suffering that injury. We don't necessarily like the matchup against a stingy Philly defense, but the point guard...

Point Guard / Shooting Guard Tyus Jones FD - $5300 DK - $5100Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 33.91 DK - 36.14 It’s pretty crazy how good the Grizzlies have been this season and also just how good they’ve been without Ja Morant in the lineup. A big reason is Tyus Jones being as steady as they come when it comes to running the offense. The dude rarely turns the ball over and if this one is close should push somewhere in the mid-30s for minutes. He lost minutes in the blowout last game, but has double-digit assists upside if things stay close here against Milwaukee. The price hasn’t moved enough for the opportunity Jones has with Ja out of the lineup and is a good mid-tier play on this slate. Davion Mitchell FD - $5900 DK - $6000Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 31.09 DK - 33.53 The Kings have been crushed by injuries and are going to be without De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis once again on Saturday. It’s good that they get a matchup against another bottom-feeding team and we should see a ton of minutes for Davion Mitchell once again. Over the last four games, Mitchell has averaged 21 points and six assists, taking a team-high 16 shots per game in that stretch. And he’s been even better over the last two. I love the prices on both sites and think he is a safe play in this matchup considering how short on guards the Kings are right now. Dillon Brooks FD - $6100 DK - $5800Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 34.6 DK - 36.6 Desmond Bane FD - $7800 DK - $7800Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 38.19 DK - 41.32 With Ja Morant out of the lineup, much more of the offensive load falls on the shoulders of these two who should see plenty of opportunity on Saturday against the Bucks. For starters, with Morant off the court this season Brooks has the second-highest usage on the team at 30%. He is in line for a lot of shots and the minutes have been ticking up since coming back from injury a couple of weeks ago....

Point Guard / Shooting Guard Luka Doncic FD - $10400 DK - $12100Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 55.81 DK - 61.28 Luka got a game off last time out but will be back for this one and he could be set to put up a monster line. Minnesota is playing the fastest pace in the league this season and have been more than willing to get out and run. That should leave plenty of volume for Doncic here which is great news considering the dude can really pile it on. For the season, he is averaging 28 points, nine rebounds, and 8.6 assists, the former two representing career highs. It’s a great spot and Dallas is for sure still fighting for seeding the Western Conference. Beating the Timberwolves here would go a long way to staving off the play-in game on that front. Luka’s price is too low on FanDuel especially. Donovan Mitchell FD - $8500 DK - $9000Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 44.26 DK - 48.03 The Jazz have the second-highest implied total on this slate and the game against the Hornets doesn’t project to be a blowout. That’s good news for Mitchell who is coming at a value on both sites. Charlotte is playing the third-fastest pace in the NBA this season with a 23rd-ranked defensive efficiency, having this matchup line up really well from a DFS perspective. Mitchell has put up 36 or more points in three of his last four games, and over the last month is averaging 27 points and six assists. The Jazz are still fighting for seeding here and Mitchell’s minutes should be in the 35-37 range as long as the game stays close. Kris Dunn FD - $1000 DK - $4500Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 30.31 DK - 29.33 Brandon Williams FD - $6500 DK - $6700Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 34.98 DK - 37.1 The Blazers are fully in the tank. We know this for certain and they will be operating in the mode of “lose every game” from here on out. That can make for something of a tricky proposition in daily fantasy because we need to weigh just...
