Point Guard Chris Paul FD - $10000 DK - $9700 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 45.89 DK - 48.42 Chris Paul has been one of the best closers and all-around point guards in the game this season which has the Suns sitting as the top team in the league and the reason Paul's price has reached the $10K mark. I am not at all concerned as he has been very productive lately averaging 20.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 13 assists over his last eight games, and now gets a plus matchup against the Hawks(27th in defensive efficiency) in a projected close, high-scoring game. Fire up Paul in all formats. Ayo Dosunmu FD - $5500 DK - $5600 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 23.95 DK - 26.03 After peaking in the mid $6K range at the end of January, Ayo's price is back in a more comfortable range which makes him a much more attractive fantasy option. He has stepped into a starting role with the barrage of injuries to the Bulls starters and has been consistent averaging 12.7 points, 6.5 assists, and 4.7 rebounds while hitting cash value in eight of those 10 games(31.9 DK/31.4 FD points per game). The matchup doesn't jump off the page as the Raptors are mid-pack in defense and run the 28th fastest pace but opportunity is there and this game is expected to stay close throughout. At these prices, I will have exposure in all formats. Shooting Guard Gary Trent Jr. FD - $7100 DK - $6100 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 29.8 DK - 31.1 Yes, I am a bit of a Raptors homer up here in Canada but no matter where you are from it is hard to ignore what Trent is doing right now. It starts with the insane volume as he has now taken 20+ shots from the field(10+ from behind the arc) in five straight games while averaging 44.6 DK/42.7 FD points per game. That is production we normally get from players in the $8K-$9K range and while both teams are ranked mid-pack in terms of defense this is a slight pace-up matchup for the Raptors,...

Point Guard Spencer Dinwiddie FD - $6300 DK - $5900Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 34.25 DK - 37.83 It’s really been a struggle this season for Dinwiddie who hasn’t exactly gotten into sync with Bradley Beal when both are on the court at the same time. There are even rumors that he could be moved at the trade deadline. But it’s worth noting that when Beal is off the court, Dinwiddie has been perfectly fine on a fantasy level. When Beal missed a three-game stretch earlier in the month, Dinwiddie was excellent, averaging 21 points, seven assists, and a steal in that run. And the Wizards won two out of the three games as well. I think even though there is blowout risk against a good Bucks’ team, the prices on Dinwiddie haven’t adjusted to Beal being out here. Stephen Curry FD - $9300 DK - $10200Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 48.03 DK - 52.74 Curry is coming off a monster game on Monday against the Rockets which the Warriors ended up winning going away. He played 38 minutes and dropped 40 points on a whopping 13-23 shooting while also going 7-14 from beyond the arc. Steph chipped in nine assists as well. Now, he’s on the back-to-back which has me a little concerned about how much Steve Kerr actually decides to run him. But he gets a good matchup against the Spurs and Klay Thompson is sitting this one out as well. The rough shooting over the course of January Steph’s price down some on FanDuel so I think we can buy here without all that much hesitation. Shooting Guard Zach LaVine FD - $8000 DK - $8800Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 40.54 DK - 44.63 Lavine is coming just a little too cheap on FanDuel, though I’d be a bit hesitant to outright play him on DraftKings pushing $9K. He’s maintained a higher floor since coming back from injury with the Bulls still struggling to stay healthy in their original rotations. In closer games, he’s going to run about 36-37 minutes and over the last four games is averaging 24 points, six rebounds, and five rebounds. We’ll take...

Point Guard Anfernee Simons FD - $6900 DK - $7000 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 34.48 DK - 38.69 With Damian Lillard out over the last month, it has been Simons stepping into a much larger role and boy has he handled it well. In those 14 games, he has topped 33 minutes on the floor in all of them while averaging 24.1 points, 7.0 assists, and 2.7 rebounds for 41 DK/35.2 FD points per game. He now faces a Thunder team who, on paper, don't look like a great matchup ranking 13th in defensive efficiency but they have really struggled in the short term losing 12 of their last 13 games and have given up 111 or more points in four of their last five. The price is still reasonable on both sites and I will have exposure in all formats. Gabe Vincent FD - $5000 DK - $4800 Opponent - BOS Proj Pts FD - 24.75 DK - 27.26 Speaking of stepping in for injured teammates, Gabe Vincent has been thrust into a starting role with Kyle Lowry out since mid-January. He hasn't blown the doors off by any means but has averaged 28 DK/26.8 FD points per game which is a solid return for a value guard. The good news is that he has seen an increase in usage in the very short-term taking 15 shots in each of the Heat's last two games and topping 30 DK points in both. He draws a tougher matchup against the Celtics tonight but the price has budged making him a nice high floor PTS/$ play in cash games. Shooting Guard C.J. McCollum FD - $7800 DK - $7600 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 38.3 DK - 41.08 Like I mentioned above, the matchup against the Thunder looks average-at-best on paper(13th in def eff) but they have struggled mightily in the short-term and we are going to try and take advantage of that. Outside of his first game back, McCollum has returned to form averaging 22 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 4.7 assists and more good news is that the usage has continued to increase as he has taken 20+...
DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Sunday, 1/30/22
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 1/30/21 Most eyes will be fixated on the NFL here, but we're going to keep grinding NBA profits. We have eight games making up this Sunday card, and there's plenty to discuss. We actually have the three best players in fantasy on this slate, and that's a rare sight considering how small it is. We also have numerous key players missing, which will surely be a significant theme in this article. With that in mind, let's get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $10800 DK - $11200 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 53.35 DK - 55.6 There's more value on this slate than ever before, so it's going to be easier to get Luka into your lineups than you may think. We believe getting him in there will be critical because he's a near guarantee for 50 fantasy points. We're talking about a guy who's averaging 54 DraftKings points per game for the season, scoring at least 65 fantasy points in four of his last seven games. That's a genuinely absurd stretch from one of the best players in the NBA, and he could be asked to do even more here. He's already leading the NBA with a 36 percent usage rate but could be pushing 40 percent with Kristaps Porzingis and Tim Hardaway Jr missing this game. The matchup with the Magic is also majestic, and we'll go over that more later! Tre Jones FD - $4100 DK - $3000 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 23.6 DK - 23.85 It's not every day that you can find a minimum-priced starting point guard that will play 30 minutes. We can confidently say that here, though, because the Spurs are resting Dejounte Murray, Derrick White, and Jakob Poeltl. Those three swallow up nearly all of the team's usage and most of their fantasy points. Tre has been the guy who has started for Murray in the past, playing 25-30 minutes in that role. If you look at the six games Tre has played at least 20 minutes, he's averaging 25 fantasy points per game. That would be a monster total from someone this cheap, and it's going to...

Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $9500 DK - $10500Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 47.53 DK - 52.17 Stephen Curry went through an extended shooting slump that’s seen him hit only 31% of his threes over the course of the month of January. For the greatest shooter of all time, that’s positively pedestrian. So it was a welcome sign to see him turn things around last game, knocking down 6-10 from beyond the arc on Thursday against the Timberwolves. Now he’ll face a Nets’ team that isn’t exactly amazing around the perimeter with their defense. The price on Curry, especially on FanDuel, has dropped enough to put him right there in cash games. With some potential savings thanks to injury situations on other teams, I think we are going to be able to fit multiple superstars in lineups on Saturday. Tyrese Maxey FD - $6000 DK - $6600Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 32.41 DK - 34.6 Seth Curry might come back for this game which would cut into the projection some, but Maxed has been so good over the last month and is running major minutes for the 76ers right now. He’s played 35 or more in each of the last five games, topping 39 in three of them. Over the month of January, Maxey is averaging more than 15 points a game, with five assists, four rebounds, and a bit on the defensive end as well. The price is just too low for how much he’s playing right now even if the offense runs through Joel Embiid. Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $10200 DK - $11200Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 52.69 DK - 58.07 The Nets are on the road here against the Warriors which will bring Kyrie Irving back into the mix. While that takes away some of the usage for Harden, it does also lighten the burden on him from a fatigue standpoint and also makes the team more competitive. Harden is more than capable of putting up big numbers even with Irving around. In their previous four away games, Harden averaged 23 points, 11 rebounds, and 7.5 assists. That’s just about getting the job done...
