Point Guard Chris Paul FD - $8100 DK - $7800Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 40.44 DK - 42.51 This is a weird, three-game slate here on Saturday with all three tilts having pretty wide spreads. So we could be looking at some blowout risk across the board. I still think Paul has a pretty high floor here all things considered against a Pacers’ team that is in the bottom third in terms of defensive efficiency. Paul has double-doubled in three of the last five games with points and assists while adding in a ton on the defensive end as well. The Suns are -12.5 home favorites here against a beat-up Indiana team so we could see CP3 get buzzed off in the fourth if things get out of hand. But that’s the case with about every game here. And for what it’s worth, Cameron Payne (FD 4100 DK 4600) makes for something of an interesting cash hedge on a short slate. He plays enough minutes (for the most part) to not totally crush you in a regular game. And if it gets out of hand he’d likely be running the 4th quarter minutes as well. If Jrue Holiday (FD 7900 DK 7700) is in the starting lineup (finally) and not limited then I think we can take the risk on his price. The issue is they are on the back-to-back here and he could rest. George Hill (FD 4600 DK 3400) would become moderately interesting in that scenario. And we aren’t likely to know the status of Malcolm Brogdon (FD 6600 DK 7400) before lineups lock. He is coming very cheap on FanDuel especially, though has been injured a ton. If he were to sit then Keifer Sykes (FD 4200 DK 3600) would make a good punt play on both sites. Shooting Guard Devin Booker FD - $9200 DK - $8900Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 42.18 DK - 45.88 Booker has been amazing this season, especially over the last month or so. Over his last six games, he’s averaging 30.5 points per game while pitching in rebounds and assists along the way. And the scoring is coming even though the shooting...

Point Guard Mike Conley FD - $5700 DK - $6200Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 33.73 DK - 36.5 With Donovan Mitchell still on the shelf, the Jazz offense will once again be running through Mike Conley. It worked out well last game when he ran 34 minutes (well above his average) and went for 17 points, four assists, and three rebounds against the Rockets. This time around he draws another good matchup against the Pistons who are 23rd in defensive efficiency. Conley sees a usage uptick with Mitchell off the court this season and that is set to maintain here in this game. There is moderate blowout risk, but it’s hard to sweat it all that much with Conley’s pricing in the lower-middle tier. Cory Joseph FD - $4400 DK - $5200Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 26.77 DK - 29.22 With Killian Hayes on the shelf, Cory Joseph stepped into the starting lineup and immediately had an offensive impact for the Pistons. He played 37 minutes against the Kings and Detroit was even able to pull out the win. This is a worse matchup, for sure, against the Jazz but Joseph should be in line for a bunch of minutes again. He ran close to 40 the last time out and finishes with 19 points and nine assists. Both are likely at the high end of expectation, especially because Cade Cunningham was in foul trouble most of the game. But the price hasn’t moved nearly enough here considering the new opportunity. Shooting Guard Cade Cunningham FD - $5200 DK - $7400Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 32.19 DK - 35.57 It’s been a struggle for Cade Cunningham in the short term with the first-overall pick failing to crack 30 minutes in the last three games. He had major foul trouble last time out and the shooting has been very up and down over the last month or so. All that’s led to a price drop on FanDuel where he’s sitting at $5200. That’s just too low even in a tougher matchup against the Jazz. I think we can take the risk with the understanding that the Pistons' plan is to play...

Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $10900 DK - $10400 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 49.75 DK - 54.87 We have a much smaller three-game slate on Thursday and with the return of Klay Thompson in Golden State, which limits the usage for Curry, the top payup is an easy decision for me tonight. I know it's a smaller slate but love seeing the price on Doncic trending down, especially on DraftKings where it's at a season-low. The matchup isn't great as the Suns rank 2nd in defensive efficiency but I am not worried as Luka has been scorching hot coming off his best performance of the season(72.5 DK/67.3 FD) and is nearly averaging a triple-double(23.9 pts, 10.7 rebs, 9.3 ast) and 55.5 DK/46.5 FD points per game in the month of January. I will have exposure to Luka in all formats. Malcolm Brogdon FD - $6600 DK - $7400 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 34.46 DK - 37.69 Brogdon returned from injury last night and while he was limited to 26 minutes, he put up a solid line with 19 points, four rebounds, and six assists for 34 fantasy points. I am speculating a bit here but would expect him, even on a back-to-back, to get closer to his full run tonight and that is great news as he is coming at a fantastic price point on both sites. Like Luka, he also draws a tough matchup as the Warriors are the top defensive team but we have a very small slate and limited options so I am taking a shot with the excellent PTS/$ value in all formats. Shooting Guard Devin Booker FD - $9000 DK - $8300 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 40.57 DK - 44.73 This feels a bit like chasing as he is coming off a monster 48-point performance but it's hard to ignore the price, especially on DraftKings, this smaller slate. What I like here is that it hasn't been just one game for Booker as he has now dropped 30+ points in three straight and isn't just shooting reliant averaging 4.4 assists, and 5.4 rebounds per game on the season....
DFS NBA Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Wednesday, 1/19/22
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 1/19/21 If you were annoyed by that two-game Tuesday card like we were, you're in for a treat here! We have 13 games in total and 26 teams taking the floor. That means we get to see almost every team in action, and it's going to give us a massive player pool to dig through. We feel like we have a good read on many of the plays out there, though, so let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard De'Aaron Fox FD - $8000 DK - $8400 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 42.61 DK - 42.98 Fox got off to a terrible start this season, but he's been cooking recently. The speedy guard has at least 39 DraftKings points in six of his last nine games. The three outliers all had big reasons for the stinkers, too, with Fox getting ejected in one of them and the Portland game being a massive blowout. We don't expect either of those to be an issue here because this is a fantastic matchup. The Pistons rank 23rd in points allowed and defensive efficiency while surrendering the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing PGs. That means we expect Fox to reach that 39-point total at ease, which is all you need from an $8K player. Mike Conley FD - $5700 DK - $6000 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 33.34 DK - 34.23 Conley might be the best play on the board. This guy was an $8K player in his days with the Grizzlies, and he could be looking at a similar role here. We say that because Donovan Mitchell (concussion) is out, leaving Conley as the showman for the offense. He's actually scored at least 29 DK points in every game that Mitchell has missed since the beginning of last season. That's big news for a guy with a 30-point average this year, giving him a 50-point upside in this spot. The matchup with Houston is the icing on the cake, though, with the Rockets ranked first in pace and dead-last in both points allowed and defensive efficiency. Cade Cunningham is just $6,000 on FanDuel and faces a subpar Sacramento defense. Shooting...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Cade Cunningham FD - $6000 DK - $7500Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 35.07 DK - 39.07 After a day full of hoops on Monday, Tuesday quiets down significantly with only two games on the slate. It’s going to make for some odd decisions especially considering the second game between the Pistons and Warriors has some big-time blowout risk. We really won’t be able to fade that so I think running Cade here under the circumstances is fine. He’s had some up and down performances of late, struggling to keep the scoring consistent, but he has a high enough floor all things considered. On the season, he’s averaging close to 16 points per game along with more than five rebounds and assists each. The scoring can also spike when he’s locked in, but the inconsistency is what keeps the price in check. He’s an easy FanDuel play at only $6K. Stephen Curry FD - $10600 DK - $10600Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 47.6 DK - 52.05 Speaking of trying to fade the blowout, that is going to be an issue on the other side of the ball as well. Steph could easily see his minutes cut late in this game is the Warriors -15 opening line holds true to form. After coming out of the gates running hotter than the Sun, Curry has cooled off some of late, shooting under 30% from three over his last seven games. The Warriors have stumbled some in this stretch as well, losing three of their last five. But they should be able to right things here against a weak Pistons’ team. Patrick Beverley FD - $6400 DK - $5500Opponent - NYProj Pts FD - 29.89 DK - 31.34 While he isn’t the central point of the offense by any means, Beverley has found a way to get it done from a fantasy perspective this season. That’s because he contributes just enough across the stat line to keep the floor in check with his price. Per 30 minutes he’s averaging more than 10 points, five rebounds and five assists per game while also adding some on the defensive end as well. The...
