Point Guard James Harden FD - $11000 DK - $11200 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 54.9 DK - 60.27 The stars were out on Christmas Day as James Harden took over for the short-handed Nets squad dropping a triple-double(36-10-10) to lead the Nets to their Eastern Conference-leading 22nd win. Harden will once again have to put the team on his back as Kyrie remains out and Durant is set to miss his third straight, as well. With that, Harden feels a bit underpriced considering his usage spikes up to nearly 35% while tallying 1.5 fantasy points per minute with Durant off the court. The Clippers have a Top 5 defense but are also short-handed so I fully expect this game to stay relatively close allowing Harden to get another full run. Fire him up in all formats. Eric Bledsoe FD - $5500 DK - $6000 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 31.91 DK - 34.2 On the other side of this matchup, we have Eric Bledsoe who was pushed back into the starting rotation with Reggie Jackson falling on the Covid list. He has been lights out with the added opportunity playing at least 36 minutes and dropping at least 18 points in both games. He has also added a ton of secondary scoring equaling 1.2 fantasy points per minute which have absolutely crushed for value on both sites. The price has gone up slightly but as long as he is in the starting rotation, it is still a massive buy-low opportunity on both sites. Also Consider: LaMelo Ball(CHA) who has seen his price drop back down into the mid $9K range on both sites and gets a terrific matchup Shooting Guard Zach LaVine FD - $8600 DK - $9600 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 40.66 DK - 45.02 This game has the lowest total on the slate so likely doesn't get as much attention but still has a ton of value throughout. For me, it starts with LaVine who returned yesterday from a two-week absence and looked great dropping 12 of 18 shots for 49 DK/46.3 FD points against the Pacers. He now gets an even better...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 12/26/21 The superstars were out on the Christmas Day slate, and all of them performed admirably. It was one of the first times we had players return from COVID protocols, and that's going to make DFS even crazier. It was challenging to navigate when players were landing on it, but it will become even more volatile with players going both ways through the revolving door. We feel like we have a good read on what's going on, though, so let's go ahead and get into it!

Point Guard Tyrese Haliburton FD - $8200 DK - $8700 Opponent - MEM Proj Pts FD - 43.96 DK - 43.07 The Kings are one of the many teams amid a COVID breakout, and it's led to Tyrese's best stretch of his career. The absence of De'Aaron Fox has allowed Haliburton to run this offense, scoring at least 41 DraftKing points in all four games since Fox went into protocols. He's also averaging nearly 50 fantasy points per game in that span, stuffing the stat sheet at ease. That makes him worth it no matter the price, and we certainly don't mind that this is expected to be one of the highest-scoring games of the slate with a 226-point total. Hali went off in this matchup just last week, tallying 21 points, six rebounds, and 10 assists. Spencer Dinwiddie FD - $4600 DK - $6500 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 30.51 DK - 32.26 Dinwiddie has been dreadful for a month now, but this is the best possible spot for the former Buff. Much like the rest of the NBA, Spencer is stepping up due to COVID protocols, with Dinwiddie taking over this offense in the absence of Bradley Beal. With Beal off the floor, Dinwiddie ranks second on the team with a 26 percent usage rate, having his four best games of the year. In fact, Dinwiddie has at least 46 fantasy points in all four of those fixtures, posting a 52-point average in those outings. That's double his season average, and it's clear he's way more comfortable with Beal's monster usage sitting on the bench. That makes him the easiest play of the...

Point Guard Kemba Walker FD - $6600 DK - $6100Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 36.46 DK - 39.64 Man, what a crazy season it’s been for Kemba Walker. He started off in the starting lineup but looked increasingly bad as he played more and more minutes. Eventually, it lead to his outright benching and effectively sitting out. Then he jumps back in with the starters and has just crushed over the last couple of games. On Thursday it was really one of the best games of his career, scoring 44 points while also adding in nine rebounds, and eight assists in the loss to the Wizards. The price hasn’t fully adjusted for the newish opportunity and he’ll be facing off against a thinner Atlanta team that has players in protocols. Delon Wright FD - $5100 DK - $4800Opponent - NYProj Pts FD - 29.22 DK - 30.03 Delon Wright has been a very popular play over the last couple of games, moving into the starting lineup for Trae Young who is out in the Covid protocols. Statistically, it hasn’t completely worked out with Wright averaging seven points, six rebounds, and five assists in that stretch. But the Hawks could be even thinner this game with Cam Reddish questionable as well. I think there will be a ton of minutes for Delon in this one against the Knicks with the usage rate almost definitely set to increase. He’s only taken 13 total shots in the last two games. Let’s run him one more time here. Strongly consider Jrue Holiday (FD 9500 DK 9300) with Giannis Antetokounmpo still out. Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $10200 DK - $10700Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 52.33 DK - 55.57 The Nets are going to be without Kevin Durant in this Christmas Day game which should represent a fantastic opportunity for Harden. The latter has been sitting out in the Covid protocols for more than a week now so there is some concern he doesn’t get a full minutes’ run in this one. Harden has a 27.4% usage rate on the season, but that number jumps 33.5% when Durant is off the court. Considering...

Point Guard Jalen Brunson FD - $7400 DK - $8500 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 41.9 DK - 45.11 Welcome to the new NBA where health and safety protocols have become the daily theme of these articles. The Mavericks guards have been hit hard as Doncic, Hardway, Burke, and Bullock are all on the C-19 list but that once again opens up Jalen Brunson who has been terrific in the short term. He has run a 25% usage rate with Doncic out the last five games and has been even better putting 37 or more fantasy points in three straight. That has sparked a big increase in price on DraftKings but the Mavs do get a plus matchup vs a Bucks team that has given up an average of 110 points over the last four games without Giannis in the lineup. Brunson is a much better play on FanDuel but is in play on both sites. Delon Wright FD - $4500 DK - $4200 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 28.41 DK - 29.6 We were all over Wright last night with Hawks short-handed at guard and while it wasn't pretty, he got there in terms of cash game value. It appears the Hawks will be short-handed again which should spark another start for Wright and the great news is that his price dropped $400 on DraftKings. There is a chance of a blowout here as the 76ers are 9.5 point favorites but that shouldn't stop the Hawks from giving Wright another full run of minutes in their current situation. All things considered, Wright is once again one of our top PTS.$ value plays on this slate. Shooting Guard Will Barton FD - $5600 DK - $6400 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 32.47 DK - 35.47 It was a complete disaster for the Nuggets last night to the point where the starters stat the entire 4th quarter en route to a loss. There are multiple reasons to go back to the well and it starts with the fact they are going to be well-rested and should be primed for a full run on Thursday. For Barton, individually, he...

Point Guard Kemba Walker FD - $5700 DK - $5200Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 32.4 DK - 34.92 Kemba Walker had been buried on the Knicks bench after getting moved out of the starting lineup a few weeks ago. It sure looked like that was the end of the line for the once-great guard. But then Covid protocols hit and there another chance to get some minutes. He made the most of the opportunity. Walker played 37 minutes against the Celtics, his first game in nearly a month and promptly dropped 29 points on 8-20 shooting while adding in six rebounds and three assists. Early accounts are that he’ll get the starting nod again in this one with Derrick Rose questionable and Immanuel Quickley out. The price didn’t move enough for the potential minutes and Walker is a good play against the Pistons. Damian Lillard FD - $8600 DK - $9800Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 43.33 DK - 47.9 After struggling to start the season, and also dealing with injuries, Dame has started to turn it around over the last couple of games with CJ McCollum on the shelf. He’s scored 32 and 43 points respectively on 21-38 shooting from the field. Today he’ll play against the Pelicans and their 28th-ranked defense, marking another great matchup for Lillard after he faced the Grizzlies and the Hornets back-to-back (both wins). With the Blazers really needing to pull back into this thing in the West, I think we are going to get a steady diet of major Dame minutes in the short term. And some of the early season struggles could be behind him. Shooting Guard D'Angelo Russell FD - $7900 DK - $7700Opponent - DALProj Pts FD - 40.93 DK - 45.31 The Timberwolves are still going to be without Anthony Edwards and Patrick Beverley in this game, leaving more ball-handling duties and usage to head Russell’s way. He led the team in shots last game, a similar situation, going 8-16 from the field though he handed out only three assists in the Timberwolves win over this same Mavericks’ team. We should see the minutes in the mid-30s in what is another...
